Hi all, hope someone can help.
I was running an AMD 64 Venice 3000+ clocked at 2.2 GHZ on an ASROCK Dual VSTA motherboard. A friend basically overclocked it for me in the bios, but then I found out how to do it myself by watching him, and tried for a 2.4 overclock.
My processor multiplier was at x9, CPU FSB at 250 and Ram at 166 Mhz and pc stable. So I lowered the ram memory clock to 133Mhz and upped the cpu FSB to 275. No boot...and couldn't get into the bios, so I had to do a CMOS reset.
Right, since I've did the cmos reset, I've had problems.
1st Problem: Boot up (pre windows XP screen) is very slow....the bit where it shows the bios info and detects the drives, etc...really really slow. Even when I press the F11 to enter bios, this takes ages.
2nd Problem: My secondary HDD (IDE) is not being recognised at all. I've gone into bios and set everything how I remember, but it's still not recognising it at all.
3rd Problem: My CPU Multiplyer in bios says x9 (and I've set it manually back to 250 FSB and 166 Mhz and 1.45 voltage, but in CPU-z is it saying x5 multiplier, which I don't understand at all. It's x9 1800mhz in bios, very odd.
I had updated the bios about 2 months ago before doing this cmos reset, does that mean I have to reflash the bios after?
Appreciate any help,
Many thanks,
M
P.S.
Many of my settings in bios to do with memory and CPU are set to AUTO.
I'll list these, and would appreciate if someone can tell me whether I need to change anything:
CPU:
Spread Spectrum
CPU NB Link Speed
CPU NB Link Width
NB-SB Link Speed
NB-SB Link Width
Memory
all set at auto)
Cas Latency
TRAS
TRP
TRCD
TRC
MA Timing
Burst length is set to 4 (do I need to change this?)
Bank Interleaving - Auto
Memory Hole - Disabled
MA Timing - Auto
Gated Clock Function - Disable
DRAM Voltage Auto
ACPI - Suspend to Ram = Disabled
ACPI HPET Table - Disabled

Also isnt the default FSB on that board 200mhz and not 250? The reason why Im saying this is becuase Ive got the same mobo and it wouldnt overclock properly until I updated the BIOS to version 1.20 from v1.10. I tried v1.30 and it wouldnt overclock either.
