Katarn_89 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 A couple of days ago I ran Prime 95 to check for the stability of my system. It ran for over 12 hours without error, so I upped my OC from 230HT to 237HTT my cpu went from 2530 to 2600. It wasn't stable and I couldn't get it to be stable. After playing with the volts for both my cpu and ram, and a couple of other settings the only way I could get it to boot was to remove one stick of ram. Right now the computer boots but crashes every half hour or so. The current settings are: cpu 2530mhz 1.4 volts muilt 11x ram 230mhz 2.7 vots 3-4-4-10 no divided (it crashed with a divided) Htt muilt 4x I am think there is a problem with my cpu becouse prime 95 crashes the computer and i can't run 2 instances of supper_pi_mod without error. I have been running this computer for over 6 months and load temps never go above 38c, at one point my cpu was at 2.8ghz but not stable. Could I have killed my cpu with having it do something its done before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Clear CMOS and load defaults on bios after clearing and see what happens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn_89 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I did and it seems to have gained a little stability. I'm running Prime 95 right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creek Tha Gray Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I would say votage on the cpu needs more but do at your own risk  look at my sig its dual prime 95 stable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn_89 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I did up the voltage up to 1.5 and it didn't seem much better than 1.35, but thanks for your suggestion. After resetting the bios it hasn't crashed for ~5 hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 If you have read up on the OC'ing guide it would have told you to find the max of your cpu and ram seperately. I dont think you have a crappy Toledo. If you have given it 1.5 vcore @2.6, I think it would be enough. Here is the best way to maximize the potential of your cpu. Give it a stock vcore and take the ram out of the equation by setting your dram at 100. Increase fsb by 5 increments and boot the system. Keep increasing until it wont boot up and lower fsb by 10 from the last increase and test with dual prime. If it passes for 8hrs then great. Find the OC max on stock vcore first, it will give you an idea on how well your cpu can run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn_89 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I will do that, thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
