YOu said your northbridge voltate was at 1.4v right now correct?

Also you understand that if you manually set your cpu vcore a 1.35v with the +100mv enabled it is actually running near 1.45v right?

Just making sure, trying to help you at as I had a hell of a time with my setup getting it right with all the different options.

We need to know what machine compononents you have. how big of power supply? what processor, ram?

The first thing that comes to mind is your power cord for you 8800gt not being plugged in. That would cause a problem.

Umm, it sounds to me like either your power supply is bad, or you have a bad board. Usually I've run into that if your board is DOA. Try a different pwer supply, check your connections. If it still does the same thing, probably a bad motherboard. YOu may also want to try a different graphics card.

Ok, I've ordered the Thermalright HR-05 SLI heatsink to replace the stock northbridge heatsink.

I really hope it solves the problem of me being unable to overclock higher than 2.8GHz.

I've also ordered a round floppy cable to replace the ribbon floppy cable to improve the airflow in the case.
