No it's not locked, you are running your AGP/PCI out of spec, but as I said a couple of post back, thats not really a problem with modern devices

Ta M@tt.

Ok, next question, what do you reckon I should do about voltages? Leave them as they are or should I increase them a tad?

I ask cos it just hung when I looped it thru 3D mark again, which seems odd as it was fine first time.

volts up a tiny bit

That is SO bang out of order I'm gonna go into a small one now

Austin is a top top bloke and he does know way more than me...this example is a bad example of his help, and it is not his fault. Its just my experience...however the man knows SO MUCH STUFF it pains me

Austin...please dont be offended by that lot.....you are 100% valued here

I would say up the Vcore a little, most JUIHB 1700's I have played with were not 24/7 stable above about 2000 Mhz at default volts and you are at 2075 now.

Its so hard to say for sure what maybe causing your crashes without testing one thing at a time.

eg.

Test with a low multiplier and raise the fsb, testing as you go at your chosen Mem timings to see how far you can go.

Next in a ideal world raise you multiplier to test for the max Mhz you can at run at stable with your chosen Max Vcore (cooling will decide you max Vcore).

Then you can test with slack mem timings with a low multiplier to find the FSB limits of the Motherboard/something else.


ATM I have a couple of relativly poor clocking JUIHB 1800's running @ 2200 Mhz with 1.75 Vcore

If you look at the PIFast challenge some people have XP 1700 benchmarking @ 2500 Mhz ish with air cooling although I doubt they are 24/7 stable at that speed
