I suspose they put heavier duty traces/voltage regulators on the motherboard for it.

TestECull, a voltage regulator provides a constant voltage level. Are you sure that pushes more wattage through the PCIe slot?

Good luck

If you have a memtest CD handy, I'd recommend running it to see if any errors are detected. Run tests 5 and 8 each for at least 20 minutes.

Let us know

Good luck

Mudd, I believe Azim is running stock clocks at the moment. His issues could be related to hardware failure. Even a flaky Windows install could cause this...

How should I download the file if I can't even start the windows. Or even to run it :S

Azim, do you happen to have another machine local that would allow you to download this file? Does clearing your CMOS resolve any of the boot issues? Make sure after clearing the CMOS that you go back in and manually make the necessary changes.

Are you getting a "NTLDR is missing" error message? This is a typical sign of a corrupt or damaged MBR. This can easily be repaired by inserting the Windows XP cd, loading the recovery console and copying a few files.

Good luck

Yes I have another PC. Should I download the file with another PC and burn it to CD or put it in the memory stick?
And what's CMOS

Azim, that is correct. Download memtest on a working machine and then burn it to a CD. Then load the diagnostic utility on the machine that is having problems.

The CMOS is what your BIOS settings are stored in. Clearing the CMOS will reset all of those settings which may or may not help at all. Typically when an overclock fails, the first troubleshooting procedure is to clear the CMOS. In some cases clearing the CMOS can also be quite useful.

Good luck

cmos is your bios resetter. on your board there is a yellow or black jumper that should be near a little square chip. on my board it says "jbat" under the prongs. after you turn puter off, ground your self and take the plastic jumper off and move it over to the next prong, there are 3 prongs l l l jumper conects 2, the middle is always gana be connected to one or the other. but if you jump it take the battery off as well and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then insert battery back and set the jumper back. hope that helps.

to all: 1 1/2 more hours then my prime testing is done. dont prime just repeat the tests over and over? or is it all new test through out the hours?

azim · 12-15-08

I dont have a good experience of burning, just some songs on CD, do I burn the ISO file which i download from the site?

mudd · 12-15-08

to burn iso files i just use active isoburner, its free and easy to use.
