CPU & GPU Battle!!!

[flunders]

This is about overclocking CPU and Graphics card really. Anyway I can overclock my CPU (no graphics card overclock) fine and it runs prime stable, all games... etc. I overclock my graphics card (no cpu overclock) and it runs stable. However overclock them both at the same time using the stable settings I found before then the computer goes crazy! It crashes out on Prime, 3Dmark and everything! Whats happening?

Does your mobo have an AGP lock?

If not, when you up the cpu (FSB increase I assume) the AGP bus will run faster than 66mhz. That'll cause instability, prolly more so when you up the gxfx card.

Mobile XP 2600+ (11X200)
Abit NF7-S v 2.0
Maxtor 60GB ATA 133 7200RPM

BBA 9800 Pro
Enermax Noisetaker 420 watts
Win2K sp4

Yes the AGP is locked. I think it probably is my power supply that can't supply enough power for everything... i only have a 320W one.

What are the entire specs of the system? Also what are you OC'ing to? Most likely sounds like a PSU, but could also be a heat issue.
