OK so basically I have a cheap cpu/motherboard.... My cpu is a Celeron e3400/Motherboard is a ASRock G31m-s r2.0(NO VCORE ADJUSTMENT!!! D:<).I've been trying to overclock it to at least 3.3GHz which everything ive seen online says you can get that on stock voltages and such.
Right now my i have it at 3.1GHz which is the max i can get stable (3.2 boots and runs for a bit but i get a BSOD with prime95 or a few minutes of game play), the multiplier is 13 and my fsb is at 245 and i set the fsb jumper on the motherboard to what the manual told me to set it to if im running ddr2 800 ram and am going to overclock. I have spread spectrum disabled and the power saver stuff disabled as well in the BIOS.
Now im starting to think it may be my power supply cause the people that say they get 3.3 no prob have the same motherboard/cpu but higher wattage psu. Mine is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339019 which is 485watts. I do have a gpu installed that takes a 6pin power connector(its a xfx radeon hd 6770 oc a bit). So im thinking i may not have enough power to overclock it any further. Do you guys think this could also be the issue?
I am going to upgrade once i can but i cant for a while so im stuck with it and wont overclock my cpu anymore until i can upgrade my shtuffs.
