Ok, so I built this computer:
Processor: Core2Duo E6300
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965-S3
Ram: GeIL 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 5-5-5-15 1.8V
PSU: FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN, 12cm FAN, version 2.0
Video Card: eVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 KO
HD: Maxtor 7200 RPM EIDE 300GB
DVD: Some kinda BENQ EIDE DVD Burner
Case Fans: 2 Antex Tricools 120mm (intake and side exhause) and 1 generic 120mm (rear exhaust)
CPU Fan: Stock Intel fan with a rice sized dab of Arctic Silver 5
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 with full updates
I immediately flashed the bios to the most recent revision (version 6, I believe) and overclocked it with these settings:
Advanced BIOS Features
- Disabled CPUID Max to 3
- Disabled No-Execute Memory Protection
- Disabled C1E
- Disabled TM2
- Disabled EIST
- Disabled Virtualization Technology
PC Health Status
- Disabled Smart Fan Control Method
Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)
- CPU Clock Ratio (CPU Multiplier) at 7x
- CPU Host Frequency (FSB) at 400MHz
- PCI Express Frequency at 100MHz
- Disabled CIA2
- System Memory Multiplier at 2.00 (1:1 Ratio)
- DRAM Timing at 5-5-5-15
- FSB OverVoltage +0.2V (1.4V)
- (G)MCH Voltage +0.1V (1.55V)
- CPU Voltage at 1.300V
I ran Prime 95 for 10.5 hours with 0 errors, temps were pretty stable with them being at 45 C at idle and about 55 C at full load.
Now, when I tried running actual programs, I've had some trouble. I've gotten stop errors on multiple occassions when running Battlefield 2142, World of Warcraft, playing music and just browsing the net. I've reset my BIOS back to default settings and I am still getting stop errors. I turned off the reboot-by-default setting on stop errors and have been logging them. Here are the errors I've had so far.
Error 1 (default BIOS):
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D1 (0x0000005A, 0x00000002, 0x0000000, 0xF215068F)
afd.sys - Address F215068F base at F2150000, Datastamp 41107eb5
Error 2 (OC'ed):
BAD_POOL_CALLER
Stop: 0x000000c2 (0x00000041, 0x86543000, 0x000D8768, 0x0003FEFDF)
Error 3 (default BIOS):
Generic error
STOP: 0x000008E (0xC000005, 0cF6F4FF0D, 0xBA0D2AB0, 0x00000000)
ks.sys - address F6F4FF0D base at F6F47000, Datastamp 41107ef6
Error 4 (default BIOS again):
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
STOP: 0x000004E (0x0000008F, 0x000268FD, 0x0002C3FD, 0x00000000)
And that's that. Any idea what's causing this? Do I have some damaged hardware, maybe a corrupt install? I've looked on Microsoft's website and only found a fix for the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT error, at least for WinXP SP2. So yeah, what should I do?
