SO I've been playing around with overclocking my Athlon XP 1500 and have it running at 1625MHz at 1.68 volts at 54ºC(using MSI's Fuzzy Logic utility). So far it has brought my 3DMark2001 SE scores into the 10K range. Now I am running into a problem that started happening before I OC'd. When playing C&C Generals, I lose the picture then my PC locks up. Occasionally I get a refresh rate error, something like "this refresh rate is not supported". A little more background, I am sharing my rommates El Cheapo LCD monitor (like not even a name brand I recognize cheap) and am wondering if it may have strated frying my video card. I have yet to OC the card and won't till I fix this prob.
So I have 2 questions:
1) Has anybody OC'd their AXP1500 higher than 1625?
2) What could be causing this weird phenomena?
AMD XP 1500
512 MB DDR PC2100
MSI KT4VL
20GB HDD
Sapphire 9600 Pro 128MB
Windows XP HE
Lian-Li PC-60
