overclock damage?

Can't say I saw any spikes on the 3.3v or 5v channels. The PSU is an OCZ StealthXStream 600w. Should be strong enough?

myocardio - I followed your instructions - not fully - and now the m/b has reduced 5deg in temp. I left the battery off and the cmos clear for 10 mins. Why the big procedure?

Thats just it. I don't have time for this. IT is a time consuming and expensive hobby. I should have looked before I leaped...

overclock damage?

This is good stuff - the last two posts especially. Currently with auto settings and stock speeds, I am noticing a stable system so far - been on for 24 hours - but the motherboard temp is about 46deg (pcprobe) and I had an alarm on the vcore voltage which went to 1.63v. I will try the hard...

overclock damage?

Hi Myocardia. Thank you. Can you explain why leaving the vdimm to auto is bad - in the case you gave? I remember setting the fsb strap to whatever was nec. to leave the ram at 800mhz. The asus has a nice control for this. The first time i tried 400, and it didn't boot because the vdimm was set...

Thanks for the Bonzai - It isn't clear whether the motherboard was stressed or not. I believe the P5K can go to 533mhz or there abouts. I don't think the memory was stressed - it was strapped to 800 mhz (stock). Having said that, at 333mhz, vista gave it a higher score, indicating that either...

But what I want to know is what to replace. I overclocked the fsb - so all the components on the motherboard were also overclocked. Weren't they? That is the hd controller, the pci cards, the chipset, cpu, cache etc (see http://www.pcguide.com/opt/oc/risksRisksBus-c.html). Is this the case with...

I spoke to microsoft support and they point to hardware. They suggest i should check the following: hard drive - bad sectors, cpu, RAM, hard drive controllers.I will check the CPU for signs of heat damage. I long stress test should also help. Thanks.

how to test cpu for errors? Could the bios be corrupted. All the volts are set correctly for the RAM and the cpu volt is set at 1.325. I don't have a case fan.

The RAM was good at fsb 333 - tested both with memtest +86 and vista memtest tool. didn't test at 400 - not that I remember anyway. Thanks

overclock damage?

Hi, I would like your ideas about what hardware is damaged - my cpu or motherboard? I overclocked my e2140 100% - corrupted vista 64. Turned it back to stock speeds, and even though it still booted, I was getting BSODs. Now I reinstalled and I still get a BSOD every couple of days. I have a...
