Over Clocking

[Victor]

Here is my problem- I run a Ga-8KNXP mother board,P4 3.2C Processor,ATI 9800 Pro vid card,2X512 CMX512-3200LLPT memory and a WD120JA hard drive. Every time I over clock to 3.5 or over my hard starts making a scrapeing noise when I play a High graphics game such as 2004 Flt sim or High Life I am on my second drive and fixing to put in my third any suggestions??? I am thinking to going to Raptur By WD but I am tired of changeing drives. any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like your board is NOT properly locking down the PCI bus speed to 33MHz.

Ok!!! How do I check that. The mother board has a special program that lets you over clock. Again any help will be appreciated. That is the way we all learn.

Don't use EasyTune4, it's crap, go in the bios, and see if there's an option to either lock the AGP/PCI at 66/33, or a divider of FSB/AGP/PCI.
