Ok lately I've been having a few Bsods(roughly 2-3 times a day @ random), I will admit they started after I OC'd to 3.42 from 3.16(fail I know) it was stable though.

Anyway, the error messages have been different alot, RAM I initially taught, but after running Memtest86 all came up clear.

So, after a bsod that just happened the error message was something like "Crucial threading" or something didn't have the camera at this time to take a picture.

After these Bsods, the computer refuses to turn on the first couple of times, it will post but wont go further than that. This is the first time I got this screen from any of the bsods after a restart, I'm now wondering, is my motherboard the problem? was my OC attempts it's downfall? But I need to make sure it's the motherboard first. I can't change my mobo or any other parts as I have none spare.

If the motherboard is the problem, I will change it for a P5Q pro and change my PSU aswell for a modular one.

Also, found a Bsod pic I had on my phone.

Did you install anything prior to these problems. If so check thosebor do a system restore. Did you take your overclock back down?

Maybe some components aren't getting enough voltage? RAM perhaps? Post your BIOS settings here. Also check your temps.

You overclocked CPU more... Its unstable.... so whats the problem here mate?

EDIT: More voltage to ram and CPU... that's what u need to do when you overclock. Remember your ram speed will go up as well when you overclock the CPU... make sure the RAM is not running at insane speeds and that it gets enough voltage.

EDIT: And seeing it is P5N-D... more NB voltage...

Well, the Volts were almost as high as I could get them. NB was at 1.42 or something and 1.76 is max, for the crap OC I got this seems a very very high number, and the Vcore was 1.35(bios) although Vdrop is a huge problem with this board, 1.35 was only showing as about 1.2 in CPU-Z (yes I know raise the vcore higher) but I think this mobo just isn't meant to overclock.

Not to mention there's a bug when raising my FSB, seems to get stuck on 338/348 etc etc.

My CPU is not overclocked anymore and all volts are back to auto.

Also, raising my NB to 1.7 was barely able to keep my CPU stable @3.42 even when I got the Vcore to about 1.3 on CPU-z, the bios was like 1.6/1.7.

Temps are all fine, CPU is 48c full load with F7P cooler.

Edit: Also, RAM was set to unlinked @1066 which is the MHz of my RAM.

Holy fucking shit are you serious you had 1.72V for NB?!?!? Thats way over the safe line for air cooling....

Wow... you should not be overclocking irish, you obviously have no idea what you are doing. maybe you did fry your mobo with volts that high.

NB has an effect of OCing, but vcore is the most important.

Whoops sorry, I ment 1.42 followed a setting a guy had used to get 4GHz out of an E8400.

p.s: @jamiet, I haven't overclocked before, but I'll never "have an idea" what I'm doing unless I actually try.

If you know how to flash the BIOS, go download latest one and flash it in...

you can also try resetting CMOS before that....

edit: are the BSODs random or do they occur when doing something in particular like gaming?

edit: Please set the RAM voltage manually to the value printed in the sticks...

Well, I have the latest version(had to update as soon as I got mobo for it to recognise CPU) and I did reset the CMOS, did it when I put my OC back down, shall I do it again?

Bsods are completely random.

Will set RAM now. Pretty sure I have it at 2.1 though.

read above ^^

edit: Random BSOD is what I got with 3 different nforce motherboards.... I have had all the issues you described. The last nforce board spent 1 day in my pc before I RMA'ed it....

Have set the ram to 2.150v. OCZ says 2.1-2.3*

Wait now to see if I bsod again?

yeah drop a line here if u do BSOD...

Seriously these nforce boards have a will of their own... I could run prime95 and memtest for a day and then go start firefox and get that same BSOD u do...

Yeah, max was saying when he was helping me OC how they have odd bugs. I shall have to do this tomorrow as I gotta get up for work early, bed time now:)

That is fine, if it was 1.42 that is not bad, live and learn. I thought you set it to 1.7 and that is ridiculous, you have no business trying to do something like that. That is like putting thermal paste on the site of the cpu with the pins. lol.

or cutting off half of a PCI-E card's connectors

Set your OC settings exactly the way you had them before, and monitor your temperature. I am dumbfounded as to why you would need to OC that CPU in the first place.

I enjoy my 2.66GHz -3.8GHz OC very much.... I can notice the difference.

And nforces are notorious for having this random BSOD issue. I have had 3... wait more than 5 boards with this issue.

How many RAM slots are full? If all 4, then that is the problem. Nforce boards don't like all 4 RAM slots full, they BSOD when they are.

I tried my nforce boards with 1, 2 and 4 stick. On one mobo 4 sticks was no boot/BSOD loop. 2 sticks was Random BSOD/fail to post and 1 stick was roflomgsauce as it was 1GB stick and I had Vista.

Well, I'm using all 4 slots, I've never heard about a problem using all 4 slots before the OC, there's been no Bsods's yet since the volts were upped, but there's still time! I'm keeping an eye of processes running to see if there's a pattern but I doubt it.

Here's a question for you all, if you were me right now, what would you do? keep the motherboard and don't overclock and hope for the best in the future, or upgrade for something better. I really don't mind upgrading.

I liked trying to OC, although I know I didn't need to, seeing as how Intel downclocks their CPU(from what they had it at) before release, I wanted to see what my CPU could really do; it was a learning & fun experience I must admit(although I failed at it).
BUT I NEEDZ MOAR!!

If I were you I would get Asus P5Q.... start looking for cheapest prices.

Ok guys, 2 links.
Komplett
Elara

Doesn't need to have 2 PCI-E slots, as I won't crossfire. Looking for one that people have no problems OCing with.
So, this then?
http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=352390

Same one is also on Elara but it's €10 more expensive @ €128 for one PCI-E slot... then there P5Q-Pro is there with 2 slots at €134, I think I'll go with the P5Q-Pro on this link.
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsful … D=S5553730

All agree?

Will be buying this around the 10th Feburary as they should havet he EEEPC904 in stock then and I'll be buying it too.

i had the same prob with my nforce board and had to RMA it

my system is fine now after a lot of hassle and sleepless nights

I will never buy an Nforce board again
