hi there,
i tried a little over clocking on my phenom x4 9850 and it wasnt too drastic,
but when it got unstable i went to nock the fsb down and booted it up and it freezes every few minutes and if i leave it, it will unfreeze and go back to normal
but then the same happens after another few minutes:mad:

ive tried putting all the settings on the bio back to normal but it still persists:mad:

any ideas of whats happening?:confused:

thanks
 
yes with the plug out and the battery and switched the jumper over,
i havent really o/c the gfx only a minuscule amount on the ati catalyst and it didnt effect it but when i did a little on the cpu it started freezing
 
ok so i checked the gfx cards and they are at default anyway,
i looked on cpu-z and my memory is at 400mhz-is this normal?(i thought they were suppose to be like 200mhz)
and cpu is at standard clocks
 
yes i think the ram is 6400
ive downloaded the software:

i had to restart the comp halfway threw making this post:mad:
 
well im thinking of doing my first build as my xps 625 is just annoying:mad:,
so i was maybe thinking of a am3 setup(have to see how much i get over crimbo)
i was thinking of getting is, new:psu,board,chip,ram,case and basically a new build except i might use my two 4670's in the mean time:)

what do you think is the most likely problem with it though?
 
ill try it now without the battery and see what happens,
i think my psu is a bit wierd anyway, i bought a dual set of blue cathodes a while ago from a well known auction site and when i plugged them in it was fine, but if i turned them off on the switch provided and then turned them back on, the pc would shut down but without actually powering down?
 
taking the battery out doesnt help though,
and this is very much the same as your problem,
(its proberbly better im starting a new build, im finding out why people say its another dell from hell:mad:)
ill leave it for a minute or two go to it and its frozen, would you try and send it back if it was you?
 
no taking the battery out does nothing,
mm yeah i don't think the warranty covers that:D
i only did it for about 5mins anyway and i only took it up to about 0.5ghz more than stock,
also one of the temperature gauges was saying something like -128 which is obserd, and obv is faulty or something, F#@*%£G dell:mad:
 
with the battery in or out its still freezing either way,
i dont think i have cooked the cpu as i only did it for about 5mins and the temps only went up to about 42 and i didnt put any huge amounts of power threw it.

ok so i did a test for 10 minutes and it completed without errors, max temp=53 min=37
thats with a stock heatsink without a fan directly on it.
should i do one for longer? or is that ok.
