So I'm new to overclocking. I've done ALOT of research about this, and I get the concept of overclocking. So where I'm stuck is when i adjust the voltage for CPU in BIOS everything looks good and runs good. When i start up windows everything is ok, but when i get past an overclock of about 3.10GHz and run Prime95 my pc freezes up. I just noticed that under a load my voltages drop to about 1.28v under a load... No matter what i set the CPU voltage under BIOS i get a HUGE drop in volts. So as of now im stuck, I've even tried Google and looking at 100 different forums. Any new advice is good advice at this point. I know this CPU is able to get higher then 3ghz.
I'm not sure of what I'm supposed to list for my rig so I'll try my best haha:
CPU: Intel Q6600 2.40GHz
MOBO: Asrock P45-TS Motherboard
MEMORY: 2gb (x4) (not sure what kind to put here)
GPU: Nvidia 8800 GTX
PSU: Corsair 750w
CASE: Antec 900
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm really looking forward to getting all this figured out!
