I am having problems clocking my 333 Celeron.... that may sound stupid but i am..... I clock it to 466 and it works fine when i play games, but whenever i log on to the net and get on, after about 5 seconds it crashs on me.... whats going on?

Heres my spec:
333 Celeron
64mb RAM
ABIT BH6 motherboard
riva TNT2 32MB
4.3Gb hard disk
56k v90 rockwell modem

I currently have got 1 heatsink on the CPU and 2 fans attached.

anyone ut there got any ideas how to stop it crashing, and any ideas how toclock it faster 8)

Cheers

hmm...logging onto the net is definitely less stressful than playing games, so it may be something else relating to your net config

does it work ok on the net with no oc?

There could be a coupla causes on this one, it is possible that if your modem is a pci modem that the fsb is running too hot for that particular modem or you have a bad modem. Try setting the speed to 333 and see if you have the same problem and walk it up the fsb speeds till it doesn't lock up, that may give you a clue as to what is the culprit.

The net works fine when it is not Overclocked....

As for the modem thing it is a PCI but i am not sure what you mean about FSM or what ever.... tell more 8)

I just meant that as you increase your front side bus you also increase your pci bus. Normally the pci bus runs at 33mhz or a 66/33 (that is front side bus to pci ratio) for a normally clocked celeron) as you increase the fsb the pci bus increases also, at a 1 to 2 ratio or 46.5 or so at the 93 fsb you are running at to get the 466 outta your celeron. While a 46.5 is not terribly bad for most modern pci peripherals some simply do not work correctly at the much higher bus speeds. I believe however that if you can get your cpu to work at the 100 mhz fsb then your mobo will reclock the pci bus back down to 33 mhz, but I do not recall if you can adjust the pci bus below 100 mhz. Hope this helps.

you also might want to see if you can scrounge up another modem and see if it will handle the high pci bus - sometimes certain hardware just isn't happy in certain configurations
