Why do I get crashes with low temps?

Herojuana · 6 Jan 2008 at 13:03

I've only been adjusting the multiplier and core voltage on my AMD X2 5000 Black Edition and I'm getting crashes to desktop when running games @ 16x multiplier 200 fsb(auto) and 1.4v .

The strange thing is that temperature is fine and doesn't go over 40c @ load.

:confused:

Anyone know whats up with this?

Can I do this using speedfan?
it says: +12V = 12.10v atm

I've given vcore 1.45v but the same thing happens.
I've heard 1.4v should be enough to get upto 16x on this chip, do you think I should try higher?

I haven't done anything to my RAM no, I'm no expert really and was just hoping for an easy overclock using the multiplier/bit of FSB.

By set up properly do you mean to add more appropriate voltage?

My RAM should be running at 2.0v now but still says 1.8 in the bios "PC Health Status" menu. Should I trust it? lol
