Hi all, my computers bios has these options for overclocking my cpu:
Default
124Mhz/31Mhz
133Mhz/33Mhz
140Mhz/35Mhz
150Mhz/37Mhz
I am curruntly using the 133Mhz/33Mhz setting which for this processor is its default speed(Intel Pentium III 800Mhz). I recently decided to overclock my cpu. I increased this setting from 133Mhz/33Mz to 140Mhz/35Mhz. This took my cpu clock speed up to 840Mhz. My problem is this, the computer starts fine but for some reason the computer is constantly locking up to the point where i cannot move the mouse and have to restart the computer. Why is it that the system is freezing all the time like this with such a small overclock? It runs fine in its default mode. Overheating doesnt seem to be the issue because the heatsink is barely warm when it freezes.
My System Specs are as follow:
Windows 98 Second Edition
Intel Pentium III 800Mhz
192MB SDRAM PC100
10GB Seagate ST310014A Hard Drive
32Mb Nvidia Geforce 256 (DDR)
320 Watt Icute ATX Power Supply
Thanks, Nissanman
