Hi. I am sad.
I have an i7920, ASUS P6T mobo, and a beastly Noctua heatsink. The CPU is D0 stepping (renowned overclocker) so I am dabbling in O/Cing for like the 32940385th time.
I have read multiple guides, and I'm using the BIOS for this. All voltages and frequencies are safe, CPU voltage is set to 1.26 max (this could be an issue?), blah blah. CPU temp on 100% load @ 3.6GHz is a nice 60C, overheating isn't a problem.
Basically, my problem is that I have inconsistent boots and troubles with games locking up, then gradually the OS locking up. On an unrelated note, I recently changed from SATA-as-IDE to AHCI mode, but I don't think this would cause the issues.
Why is my lovely PC not booting? (note: no POST) My gut feeling is that the PSU may be on its way out - 3.5yr old Thermaltake 750W
