Hi guys, I have a E2180 running at 2GHz, installed on a Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R/S2.
Whenever I try to OC it above 2.1GHz, it simply reboots to default settings. Any tips on how to stop this?

what RAM are you using? What steps are you following to OC?
Well, I'm using OCZ PC2 6400 4-4-4, 2GB RAM.
I'm increasing the CPU Host Frequency to 210, and the multipler is 10X
He's using OCZ pc2-6400 on auto timings (presumably 5-5-5-15), I've just advised him to set the right vdimm and see if it boots properly then.
EDIT~ beat me to it :p
He says it still fails to boot when going beyod stock speeds. Any help would be appreciated, as I advised him on this build and its quite embarrasing when it fails to deliver! :p
Yup. For reasons unknown, the computer reboots when reached 2.1GHz, then defaults to 2Ghz.Quote:

Have you tried setting a lower (much lower) ram frequencey?
Set your ram to its lowest possible speed and 5-5-5-15 timings and then try to OC your CPU.
Bhavv, I tried that the first time, but it still rebooted. Krumm suggested that it might be Intel's Speedstep coming into effect.
Turn off speed step, make sure Vcore isn't too low, raise the CPU:RAM ratio and try booting directly at 266mhz.
Okay, but where's the option to disable speedstep?Quote:

I had a look, and nothing's there.Quote:

Just had another look, and can see nothing related to either optionQuote:

Inside, there might be thing like EIST, or speedstep tech..
Can't believe there's nothing in the BIOS..
Well, I've had another look, and absolutely nothing appears that's related to CPUQuote:

Hmmm..Krumm, you might not be getting blessings from "someone" lol :P Anyways, Mungoo, are you using a guide? tell me what are you actually doing, what steps are you following, you go in to the BIOS setup, then what do you do? Do you know your way around there? (im doubtful since you couldnt find the EIST settings the first time around) So i would like to know what you do, before advising you.
Well, after going in, I proceed to the M.I.T. where you can control the clock cycles, frequency and so on.Quote:

I'll do it again just to check.
EDIT: Yup, I just did it and the computer just reboots then the CPU is at 2Ghz.
well..I dont use gigabyte boards, isnt there any manual way to choose FSB speed, ram speed, cpu voltage, memory voltage? Do you see any options for FSB rather than directly choosing a proposed CPU speed?

Okay, I've got a serious problem, the system posts, but then it fails to load Windows. All I see is a blank screen.
Sounds like the PCI clock is too high - have you locked this at 100?
Have you used Ctrl + F1, this opens the "hidden bios" settings ie voltage control.
And have you looked at Clunks OC guide

Yup I have, but still nothing.Quote:

One suggestion, install Windows before you overlock anything. It saves any issues a lot of time and hassle.
Once you know you have a stable, working system THEN start playing with it. The only exception to this is setting your RAM voltage to the manufacturer's settings.
Ive installed Windows, and it was working, but for a reason, it decided to shut down and won't load Windows anymore.Quote:

What should I do now?
What HD are you using? Do you hear click click sounds when your system hangs on boot? If its seagate, download seatools and check HD for errors.
It's Samsung, and no, I can't hear any clicking sounds.Quote:

Just some questions.Quote:

And what will disabling the controller do?
I mean the SATA connector on the motherboard. Disabling the jmicron controller will disable any SATA connections provided by the jmicron chip rather than the intel southbridge (usually a different colour). It's probably not neccessary but sometimes it interferes with things.
I would make sure your hard drive is in IDE mode rather than SATA/AHCI (in BIOS) as a first port of call though.
Ah I see. However, my BIOS says that SATA/AHCI Mode is disabled, is that it?Quote:

I just disabled it and nothing.
I really need the HDD to load windows, as it has Data that I need.
Would it be advisable to just get a new HDD?
Please mention all setting of ur Bios, like voltages, spread spectrum, ram timings, etc...Quote:

please take a page and pen, then go to your Bios and note all setting related to CPU, RAM, Voltages, etc.. and let me knowQuote:

CPU Vcore - 1.32500V

Need any more?
also mention what values do you change to OC?
Well, I enable CPU clock control then I change the Host Frequency to 210, but the system just reboots. But OCing a system won't be useful if the system refuses to boot Windows :)Quote:

Another thing, the flashing cursor before Windows is being loaded doesn't come up.
TBH, im bowled out with your case, perhaps its a fault with the mobo, also, now it seems even more so the case. Can you take it back and get it checked maybe?
Maybe, but do you think it could be a dead HDD?Quote:

It wont be completely blank.
Oh, no, the system does POST, but then it doesn't load. the last thing the POST says is "Verifying DMI Pool Data" Or something to that, but then stops. The HDD doesn't boot up on the other PC...Quote:

however Try to follow the below mentioned steps:
1- Reduce "Memory frequency" to minimum value mentioned you see, Don't leave it to "Auto"
2- Don't leave "CPU Vcore" to "Auto", initially set it to 1.325 Volt
3- Don't leave Memory timings to "Auto", set them manually to 5 5 5 15, or 5 5 5 18,
4- Disable static read control, if it is available in your Bios
5- Increase "CPU Host Frequency" to 210 MHz, save Bios setting end reboot,
6- Continue increasing 10 MHz, until your system refuse to boot, then increase CPU voltage to 1.35
7- Repeat step 5 and 6,
8- When you reach near 2700/2800 MHz, login into windows and try testing, monitoring, benchmarking,
9- If your system does not boot after step 5, then remove all IDE, SATA, PCI Devices, extra fans, then again try step 5,
Which PSU you are using?
What is temp of your processor and motherboard without overclocking?
What is CPU Fan speed you are getting?
try to run Orthos (Small FFT) for at least half an hour (w/o OC) and note CPU Temp.
pleased try above and let me know,
Ok, DMI pool data error is a hardware error, you can try several things, firstly try to boot with the HDD of the other PC.Quote:

Take out the small silver battery to clear the CMOS, hence resetting the configuration.
Disconnect all drives, optical too, and try booting up connecting one drive at a time, a floppy drive too if you have that.
Try these and let me know if you have any progress.
