okay, i just recovered my system from a serious FAIL from a previous attempt to overclock
i have discovered that my motherboard completely refuses to do anything related to overclocking and tuning...
there is an option that seems to cause the problem
SPU host/SRC/bus and i think "CPU host" is the FSB because i can change it to 266 and 333 but 333 is the highest it will go
ANYWAYS whenever i change that option and i save to the CMOS the screen just goes black and the comp stays on
then i turn it off and reset the CMOC jumper....
idk
i WILL be getting a new motherboard within the next 2 weeks and i WILL be sure to message you when that occurs.
hopefully the new one will be a little more OC friendly lol
but thx again for the help and like i said, ill send you a message you when i get the new mobo.
do you know of a good mobo with PCI-E 2.0 socket 775 and DDR2? ATX too lol ill go shopping around, but let me know if there is some amazing "overclock welcoming" board out there that i dont know about
oh and another thing. my board doesnt even speak about C.I.A.2. SPD sure but no option to change it to 2
