Hello,
So yesterday I installed a new Q9650 to replace my E6600. I have enjoyed it so far. It is awesome. I have used this site for reference and research before so I thought I would ask for some help.
Yesterday I thought I would attempt to OC my new Quad. I was able to hit 4.0 GHz, which was my target, without a hitch. Till I booted into Vista. Froze up on me. Tried XP and was able to run Prime95 for 8 hours without any trouble. Tried safe mode in Vista and it worked but I still cannot boot into Vista in normal mode. I then redid my OC by lowering it 100 MHz at a time till I was at default speed and could not boot into Vista till I hit 3.0 GHz.
I was able to get a stable 3.2 GHz out of my E6600 so why doesn't Vista boot with anything over 3.0 GHz? Thanks.
My settings were:
FSB @ 1778 MHz
RAM @ 800 MHz
CPU @ 1.368 V
FSB @ 1.3 V
RAM @ 2.1 V
My system:
Q9650 currently at 3.0 GHz
ThermalTake 120 Ultimate
Evga 780i
Geforce 260 core 216 in SLI
6 GB Corsair Dominator
Vista Business 64 bit SP2
XP Pro SP3
