i keep on rying to overclock my cpu but after i leave the bios my computer is booting up and i get a worning message (not in windows yet)Sytem in safe mode!Reset overclocking in bios Ect... when i press f1 to continu my computer is not oc'd eavinthough i just changed the fsb in the bios please help and ask if you need more info i will respond right away Athlon 64 3200+ MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINEM ATI X800PRO 1024 PC 3200 RAM AUDIGY 2ZS 80GB 7,200 RPM MAXTOR HD 52X LG CD BURNER DRIVE 12X LG SUPER COMBO DRIVE 350W PINE DUEL FAN PSU

What settings are you changing & by how much? Sounds like you may be "over-overclocking" Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 512MB PC3200 Asus Ti4200 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

Your CPU defaults is below: Athlon 64-3200+ - 2000MHz (200x10) - 1.4v Is that what you are running at ? B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

thanks for the speedy response i set the fsb to 212MHz i dont know how to change the multiplyer i dont change the voltage but my system boots up fine exsept the speed hasent changed and i have everast home and cpuz thanks please respond soon peace out Anthlon xp 2400+@2.28 ecs l7mm3pro 1024mb kingston 3200 ram ati radion x800pro 80gb 7,200 rpm hd

Either your not saving when you exit the bios or the mobo battery is probably on it's way out. Tt Lanfire nf7-s v2.0 XP-m 2500@209x11 SP 97 512mb pc3200 Jou Jye 550w psu FX5600 WDCaviar 160gb sata WDCaviar 160gb sata ;~}

Something on your system isn't working properly with the OC you did. My guess are either the HTT frequency or the ram. The trick with really OCing the winchester is to raise the fsb with running everything else within the normal parameters. If you'r able to run your ram above 200MHz it's even better but in my case it even worked with Infineon 3rd CL3. The following is the maximal clock I could get with that board and my cpu but I know others got it up to 300MHz FSB with the following setting. I also testes it with 260MHz FSB, HT multi at 4x and Ram set to 166MHz (rest the same) and it was somewhat faster than the following setting because of the difference in ram clock. At 300MHz FSB it's ideal becasue with the ram set to 133MHz and also OCed 50% (automatically the same percentage as the FSB) your back at 200MHz. And you have to set the CL manually because on AUTO the board will detect lower CL at the set speed of 133MHz and that will not work with the OC back to about 200MHz! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't set that in one step if you don't want to fry the cpu! Use small ones and test. I used 3DMark 03 and ran into graphic errors above 285MHz. As the graphic card wasn't OCed at that time it had to be the cpu! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are the maximal setting for my Athlon64 3000+ winchester (socket 939) on a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum board: Advanced BIOS Features: ----------------------- Gate A20 Option: Normal (not sure if that's really needed) Cell Menu: ---------- DRAM Configuration: - Max Memclock (MHz): 133 - 1T/2T Memory Timing: 1T (2T with 4 Ram modules) - <Memory Timings> manually set to the correct CL settings given on the ram High Performance Mode: Manual Aggressive timing: Disabled Dynamic Overclocking: Disabled HT Ferquency: 3x Cool'n'Quiet: Disabled Adjust CPU Ratio: x9 (max for 3000+) Adjust CPU FSB Frequency: 285 Adjust AGP Frequency: 66 (AGP is double of PCI so that's also locked to 33MHz) Adjust CPU VID: 1,550v CPU Voltage: Over VID 10.0% (up to 280MHz FSB 5% had been enough) Memory Voltage: 2,70 V Hope that helps!

Forgot, the HT clock shouldn't run above 1000MHz (FSB x HT multiplier). A little bit more may work like on my system with 1040MHz but as I tried 1064MHz (FSB at 266MHz with same settings) it became quite unstable. A lower HT clock around 900MHz shouldn't be that much of a problem. The maximal data volume between cpu and chipset will be a bit lower but the ram is directly connected to the cpu so that shouldn't be a problem!
