hi all, yet another question by me...

i have managed to oc my cpu to about 4.00ghz. any thurther though and bsod...

at 4.00ghz, i can get into windows no problem, my only isue is that once i start playing a game, the computer becomes as stable as a fat man being denied his hamburger. (sorry bout that... other words its very unstable.)

game will play for say, minute or 2 then bsod...

one time though it diddnt bsod but crashed to desktop and said the ati drivers had failed. (check below)

thinking i had bad drivers i have gone back to ati 9.3 drivers.

games are now more stable its just that now i get major graphic coruption, even in 3d mark 06, which i can run...

turning down the oc on my gfx card, i believe that the artifacts are all gone, its just i dont want to be loosing 20 or so fps by having to drop the clock (rhymes :) )

is there any way around this or what. kind of had enough of the whole "im gona crash ha ha ha" taunting which my comp is giving me.

Well, I guess you should be happy with you 3.85...

I've been on a 2Ghz AMD Turion 64... If they didnt change the damn socket for the Turion X2, I would have gotten better than a one chip processor...
