system :

Athlon 1800+
Geforce2MX200 Detenator 29.20
128MB DDR 2100
Asus board
winXP

everytime i try to change the FBS even by 1Mhz above 133 or change any memory setting, my comp locks up like 10-30 seconds after boot..
and even on default, when i run 3Dmark2k1SE it locks up after a few minutes...

This is so frusterating..err

please help if you can, thanks.
 
Full load, about 60c CPU, mobo 30c i think..

i'm useing Cpuidle to cool cpu down to arround 45c in windows.
 
I disabled the sensor in the bios cause i was told that
if i do that the bios won't halt my system when the temp goes up.

are you certain its the temp ?
 
I wouldn't say certain. I had my athlon go up to 60 once (my error). It locked up quick. Actually, if I remember right, it shut down. There may be other opinions on your specific problem. Give it some time, someone else will post.
 
sounds like a heat issue to me as well. it's just not a good idea to let your cpu temp get that high. what kind of cooling setup do you
have?
 
Dude... You need better cooling.. I have a AMD XP 1800+ overclocked to a 2000+ and my temp is around 40c.

Get a better fan......

Here is a link to the fan I have. It is a : DRAGON ORB 3.

Hope this help...

PS... Dont ever disable the heat sensor in the bios......

You can kill a good CPU that way !!!!!

:p
 
Yeah, i saw that fan and it looks awesome, i'll check how much it cost.

Anyway, i've noticed that my supplier brought me the wrong fan+heatsink for my cpu; he brought me the VOLCANO 5, and i read its only up to Athlon 1700+, and what i need is the VOLCANO 6Cu or the Cu+

Currently I had to set my FBS to 100Mhz (bummer) to stop the comp from locking up on full cpu load..

Do not get the 6+ if noise is an issue. It runs at a constant 7000 RPM. Where as the 6 without the + runs at 4550 RPM. Better yet, get a Volcano 7, variable speed, very quiet, very efficient.
 
Anyway, can you recommand me of a cooling
solution up to 20 bucks ? I can't efford more cause i'm
currently poor..

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
