First my setup:
Core 2 Duo E4500 (OC'd to 3Ghz)
Gigabyte DS3-L
2 gigabytes of G.Skill RAM
Radeon 4870 512MB
XP Pro
My set up has been the same for the past year (except getting the 4870 a few months back, but I highly doubt that's the issue), and this overclock has been very stable until just now. I'm looking to install Vista so I can bump myself up to 4GB of RAM, so I bought another 2x1GB set of the same G.Skill RAM that I'm using now, which I bought a year ago. However upon putting it in, my system sets itself to the stock CPU frequency at startup. I can't even get to the BIOS before it resets itself. If I remove the two sticks in question, the overclock works fine.
So my question is, where should I start looking to tweak to try to get this overclock to work? And would I have been better off just getting a matched set of 2x2 GB sticks?
