billyb_07 Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Houston, we may have a problem. I have been running with the settings below. I have not gone beyond the 4.08. Prime was good, realtemp was running, 26-59 deg. Seemed to be ok, and then... I believe I may have fried something in the CPU or motherboard - not sure, as I don't know how to diagnose. Here are the symptoms: Initially I would experience pauses (or lag) in games like CoD MW2. It would pause for 3-5 seconds. Others in the game did not have the same issue. After a few days of this, it booted me out, complete shut down. On reboot I did not get a message "failed overclock" as I would when it was an overclock setting. I then started getting strange error on the internet, pausing when switching sites, pages not loading, etc. Reset Bios settings to default - no overclocking. Still had errors. On a subsequent reboot I got disk errors (large files, corrupt files, etc.). Scan disk would run, find errors, fix them, windows would boot. At this point I thought it was a virus. I ran a scan, all good. Added more virus software, still good, malware scan, still good. Just for the heck of it I formatted the drive (I have a backup). Windows (Vista 64) would not install, errors during install. I put in a brand new sealed hard drive. Windows would not install. Gets most of the way through it and errors. Windows trys to find and fix the missing files but can't. What do you think? I am leaning towards processor or MB. I don't have a spare to swap in, which should I try first? Acts like a virus, but is that even possible? With a brand new hard drive? System specs: 4.08mhz. I stepped up the FSB Freq 5 at a time to 430, passes all tests. CPU temp is 29 at idle and up to 52 under 100% with Prime. (64 ambient) Setting recommended and test as above: Ai Overclock Tuner : Manual CPU Ratio Setting : 9.5 FSB Frequency : 430 PCIE Frequency: Auto FSB Strap to North Bridge : Auto DRAM Frequency: Auto DRAM Timing Control: CAS = 5 RAS to CAS = 5 RAS Precharge = 5 RAS Activate to Precharge = 15 (leave every other setting at auto) DRAM Static Read Control: Auto Dram Read Training : Auto MEM OC Charger : Auto Ai Clock Twister : Auto Ai Transaction Booster : Auto CPU Voltage : 1.325 (found this in another post) CPU GTL Reference: Auto CPU PLL Voltage : Auto FSB Termination Voltage: Auto DRAM Voltage : 2.1 NB Voltage : 1.3v PCIE Sata Voltage: Auto Load Line Calabration : Disable for now CPU Sread Spectrum : Disabled PCIE Spread Spectrum : Disabled CPU Clock Skew: Auto MB Clock Skew: Auto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
