P-III overclocking drives windows crazy

[cbsf]

I am trying to overclock a Slot-1 P-III @ 450 (100 FSB) to 133 FSB on a Soyo 6VBA board (A14 trick and jumpers). All goes well, until windows 98 start and do a registry check. Then it reboots, and the registry checker comes again... and this goes forever. Anyone came across this?? 10q

Might need more voltage.

How are your temps?

Have you considered a Coppermine core CPU?

But it works ok at stock speed?
What stepping core do you have?
Do you have PC133 ram?

Most katmai cores will do 600.

Temp is ok, RAM is 133 indeed. I cannot relate a voltage problem with windows. Besides, PC starts up ok and identifies the CPU as 600B... Registry and frequency, do they relate??

try slower memory timings. Sounds like memery timing problems. set memory to cas 3 and give it a try.

I aint signing nothing!!!

More CORE voltage, look in BIOS!

what`s your power supply? the katmai eats up more power than most people think.

geez, my old p2-450 overclocked to 600 after 2.2Voltage and a 300W power supply. somthing huh?

hello~!

Psu is 250W and the pc has just one hd, one cd and a couple of cards. I'll play with voltage now... Thanks ppl anyway!
