Hi ^_^

I have an opteron 146, CACJE Stepping, I dont know the batch numbers :S
My Entire spec
AMD Oppy 146 (using the Zalman 9500LED)
G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000
Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI Motherboard.
7800GT 256meg Leadtek
250gb Western Digital
Pioneer DVD-RW
Tagan 530w PSU (Silent Modular, Dual rail)

Okay, Ive established that I can run stable at 2.5Ghz @ DDR500. with a 2/2 divider. Now when I go to 2.75Ghz @ DDR500. My games run fine, windows boots, I can play BF2, CS Source for hours on end and yet, when I run prime 95, I either crash within 10 seconds, or 6 minutes. Rounding Error. Ran Memtest for 6 hours with no errors.

Ive set my CPU Voltage to 1.55V. RAM at 2.8V Timings 3-4-4-8. Using the divider as 2/1.83. Chipset upped by 0.2Volts.

Is there anyway to make my computer more stable? I would really like to hit the 2.9~3Ghz barrier.

Is it something im doing wrong :S. Thanks for the advice in advance!
 
Okay that didnt work :o

Buttttt :S

It didnt work so......I i messed around with it, made the Core Voltage 1.65v :D Then kept everything the same

Booted then restarted.

BEEP BEEP BEEP, WARNING BIOS CHECKSUM ERRORS

o__o; I **** myself :S It kept doing it till i reset the bios and it automatically backup. It kept failing so I eventually did it after resetting clockspeed settings, then I got into windows on stock, rebooted, CHECK SUM ERRORS again, so I totally reflashed the bios in windows the second time :S.

Ekkkkkkkk, I think i need a DFI

No swearing.
