I have an abit IS-7e, with a 2.4C @ stock and 512PC2700. When every I play games the system locks up, I notice today my ratio was at 5:4. Could that have been my problem? What should it be set at?
Thanks

Running a 2.4C with PC2700 is kind of silly but you should be okay with a 5:4 ratio. Try it at 4:3 and see if you get improved stability. What kind of PSU do you have?
