Post Overclocking in Windows Vista!
I just can't!

Whenever I change CPU settings in BIOS to OC it, it won't turn on. I mean it turns on but it gets stuck or I get a blue screen and then crashes.

If I set everything at default in BIOS then it just starts normally.

What's up with this? It worked fine with Xp, I could OC it back then, why not now with Vista?

If you can help me out of this +rep for you

Thanx in Advance

Well, updating BIOS didn't help. I updated bios, overclocked CPU a bit and restarded.

After restart it crashed imediately. Now I have everything at default again, and everything works fine

Are you sure the OC was 100% stable in XP? I haven't had a problem running Vista Ultimate on this rig with a decent OC, but it was guaranteed 100% stable because I ran Orthos for a couple of days and F@H for weeks straight without an error.

Try pulling the 256meg RAM sticks out. I doubt that would be the problem but it's worth a shot.

Well, with XP it was stable @ 3.6. But now I can't even go 1 mhz up, otherwise it crashes.

And those RAM sticks, these are new. Before this I had 4 x 256mb...and I had back then the same problem with Vista, so it's not the RAM

Before it boots up hit f8 and disable 'force driver signing' or what not. I know you need to do that to OC on Vista 64-bit using ATI tool

Not really helpfull @_@ why post that.

Anyways, Try making a linux partion and booting on that and see if it boots into linux, then you will know Vista is the real issue or use a linux live CD or something like that.

I'm sure it is Vista, I installed XP and I could OC it (a while ago, now I have vista again) And I don't have Linux and also never used it.

EDIT: TYRKER i couldn't find 'force driver signing' , not even in BIOS.
