Hi, The time has come when my E8400 really needs a boost, but something isnt letting me.
my system is:
E8400 @3.1ghz (auto volts 1.296 in cpu-z)
4gb ddr2 ocz reaper ram 1333
p5n d mobo
1000w akasa
freezer 7 pro
The problem is if i up the fsb past 1380 in the bios the pc will boot and load into windows but just when the windows loading bar is about to go and windows come up it freezes.
This happens what ever i do such as increasing the voltage (from 1.2 right up to 1.4v)
Ive had a little tweak with the nb but im not to sure where to start with that one so mostly left it to auto
Also unlinked the ram (ram timings in cpuz are 396.6 / 13:15 / 5/5/5/15/24/2T)
im also not sure exactly sure on oc'ing the ram and even if i need to.
Temps are fine idle 38-42 max 56-59.
Im out of ideas now, and would appreciate i little guidance as to what im doing wrong or did i just buy some lemons^^
Thanks in advance
