Speed resets after O/C??

[Dunks]

ok...i'm having some trouble wif my overclocking...
i got a AMD T-bird 800 @ 900

rite now it is 100 X 9...cos when i try to change the fsb...it jes goes haywire (dunno why...even though i got 1st party ram)

anyways....thats not my point....my main point is...sumtimes when i come back from school and boot up my comp...during the POST it states the current speed its running at....it says 500Mhz....WTF???

i go back into bios and the cpu ratio is at 9....ok..fine
save and exit...boot up...POST...500Mhz...HAR???
i have to go and reset the ratio to 'default' then reboot...then reset the ratio to 9 again....only after doing that will the comp say its running at 900Mhz...
i tot that maybe boosting the power to the cpu would help..so i bump it up....
all fine for a few days...come back from school today and it says its running at 500 again...
its annoying...know how to get rid of this problem???

have you tried upping the vcore, and re-doing the L1 bridges ?

 

[Dunks]

yeah...i redid the L1 bridges already...
the core is now 1.8

why do u think it resets?....

Well Mine do similar things when they are on the very edge of stability.

Also I noticed you have the MSI k7T Pro2A, I have one with 1.2 @1450 tbird and it actually does better at 1.775.

I have a duron that was a ah heck, i had to do the bridges three times and change pencils :Q to get it operate correctly.

I am guessing you have a good Power supply thats not flaking on you

i use conductive Pen...
and i got a 300W power supp....not sure if its qualified or wuteva to run AMD chips....dunno

so u suggest i bump the power down a bit to 1.7 sumthing?
hrmm...anyways....i got my 800 @ 927 rite now....103 X 9...
heheh..wish i cuold get to 1 gig...but jes won't go any higher...tried everything...oh well...
gooe enough for tribes!!!
