The problem, with pics!
So, I decide that I have had this board long enough, and have been running just fine at stock settings, and that it is time to crank it up a notch. Well...I didn't get much of a "notch" out of this board. I can hit 220Mhz just fine, but anything past 220, and the board "hangs" here:
Here is other pics to give you an idea how I changed the values:
As I stated previously, changing the CPU Frequency value to anything past 220 is no go. Only using whole multipliers, and have upped the voltage to both the memory, and CPU with no effect. I've tried disconnecting the IDE devices, no change, still hanges at the first screen seen in the first picture. I've changed memory placement, no change. I've moved the SATA drive around, no change. I've disconnected everything (all drives) and it STILL HANGS...grrr.
I have even dropped the Memclock index value to 333 to see what would happen...nothing...what the hell? My case doesn't run very hot, mid 80's, and the CPU runs at around 35c. Now I know that with the cooling that I have now, I won't hit some insane numbers, but this isn't important to me right at the moment, as I am in the process of building a two stage phase change liquid chiller and I want to use this board for my first run, but if I can't figure out what the hell is wrong, then I will have to buy another new board to test. Can anyone offer any kind of suggestions?
Maybe I should have gotten a DFI board instead...
EDIT: Stupid thing that I forgot to mention is that I can use the dashboard thing in windows, and I can overclock with no hitch...but the program itself makes the system unstable, even just running it stock it screws up windows something terrible.
