Mr. T-Bird 900 @ 1GHZ = Weird problems

Cloud-X · Post by **Cloud-X** » Sun Dec 31, 2000 1:37 am

Running on Windows Whistler Beta 1 which is just win2k or NT 5.01. Anyways I know its coolit will not pass 108F which is fine for a Athlon. Case temp is 77-80 degrees F never passes that. I get a IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL blue screen when its overclocked then it reboots. Could it be I just have a puppy that doesn't like the 1ghz dance or could i do something that could change that. it feels good to be at 1.00GHZ heehe. Any help would be greatly apreciated. BTW, i check the IRQs somtimes Win2k has probs with athlon motherboards and have 8 different things on one IRQ but that is none existent here. Thanks

EDIT- it wouldbe fine in WIN98 i only had win98 for one day anyways. but i installed whister and 98 at 1.00ghz which was cool so i though everything was fines. i think my t-bird core is 900 so ir doesn't like go over too much. Or i couls just suck at overclocking, some guys here at pros so that why i'm here asking this

Sorry for the lack of info, Duh! Abit KT7-RAID @105/35 FSB Plus 6 so that is 111/35. It is out of spec to some point. Umm how muhc is AGP at that FSB? I'm sure the card can take that little bump. Its a Hercules Geforce 2 GTS 64MB. I have the CPU voltage at 1.85, and the I/O Voltage at 3.60. Maybe I should lower the I/O Voltage. Thanks for the reply.

Oh ya, after running all last night at 900 with no problems its back at 1.00ghz again, going to see if that is the problem, i read the mobo manual and changed some settings like the CPU driving force to see if that does something.
