Vcore problem? please help

[LenaMarieD]

I think i figured out the cause of my blue screen problems finally. Memory seems to check out but, i got SySoft Sandra and it says the Vcore is set too high, i imagine that can cause blue screen problems and every time i enable an alarm in the bios and on the EasyTune application that came with my motherboard they all just start going off. How can i fix this? I dont know the builders overclocked or not but i dont care about overclocking, i just want a stable system, i'll buy a new CPU if i think its too slow.

specs:
Athlon 64 XP 3200+
Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 Mobo
Geforce 7800 GT
Soundblaster Audigy Sound card
1 gig dual channel memory

VCore info:
Core Voltage rating: 1.400V
Min/Max Core Voltage:1.100V / 1.450V
CPU Fan Speed 2009 RPM

Easy Tune 5 info:
Current 2009.25 Mhz
Original 2009.00 Mhz
FSB 200.00
Mem Freq - 400.00
AGP/PCI-E Freq - 100.00
PCI Freq - 33.00
CPU Fan Setting is all 60%

Hardware Monitor says

VCoreA 1.450 (Flucutations between that and 1.470)
+3.3V 3.230
+12V 12.090

Fans says

CPU 2033 RPM

Get the BIOS manual out, go into your BIOS, and adjust VCore to e.g. 1.385/1.390.
That should do the trick.
The rest looks respectable enough.

thanks for the response, i got the bios book out and went into it but i dont seem to have an option to change the vcore. under the frequency/Voltage option all i see is

CPU Freq. and it goes from 200 mhz to 300 mhz
PCIE Clock at 100-145 mhz
K8 CPU clock ratio
Robust graphics booster

any ideas on how i can get at the vcore settings? thanks in advance

On some gigabyte motherboards, you have to press ctrl+f1 at the main bios screen to enable "advanced" bios settings adjustment.

I doubt the vcore is your issue though. The board you have is one that is frequently found to be defective, as evidenced here.

So my guess, is you got one of the defective motherboards. Syptoms of the defective ones are frequent blue screens, according to the reviews on newegg.
