XP 3000+ Overclocking

[Plod2151]

Hiya i have an xp3000+ cpu and the coolermaster aero 7 heatsink and fan. I'm a newby when it comes too overclocking so thought i'd have a go anyway. I left the multipyer at 10.5 and uped the fsb too 220 in gradual steps. Also uped the core voltage too 1.7 from 1.65v. Comp seemed too run stable and cool the temps weren't going over 45 degrees under load. Super pi scores increased too 45 seconds from about 49. Now i'm randomly getting the computer rebooting and windows xp bringing up Windows has recovered from a serious error when it loads back up. Had too go back too original settings. Any ideas guys and gals???

more voltage...

try up to 1.85v and see how you go, whats your ram running at? try clocking that back for the mo and see how things go

ram is crucial ddr 3200. Latency of 2.5. I'll try upping the voltage. The psu is only a cheapo one 550 watt. not sure if it will be giving a stable enough supply.

Relax the ram timings a bit

give that a go then aswell. Good news is i ordered a 9800 pro 128mb saphire card last night and the arctic cooling vga heatsink so i'll be bothering you guys soon for overclocking that.

nice one, Im using the arctic cooling VGA silencer, seems to be doing a nice job of cooling my 9800 pro, best thing about them is the fact they exaust the heat out of your pc therefore helping keep the cpu cool
