Need basic overclocking help

[krazyq]

Virtualization is only needed if your running programs like Virtual PC or the "XP Mode" in Windows 7. If your not using it, Disable it.

When it crashes are you blue screening? What error codes are shown?
When you start Stress Testing use LinX

Using the picture below, select the "ALL" button, then set it to run 20 Times, then Hit the "Start" button.

When you can finally past the Test 20 Times you should be good. Double check it by changing the "Times" to "Minutes" and select 75 or 100. If you can pass LinX for 100 minutes you should be good to go.

it just rebooted.
i just changed the option not to reboot so i'll make sure to write it down now.
I'll use the linux now
Some program's i use xp for compatibility mode...

XP Compatibility Mode and the "XP Mode" in Win 7 are not the same. XP Mode in Windows 7 uses Windows Virtual PC. Here's a link to check out.
Download Windows XP Mode

A different brand of ram will "probably" work. But there's no Guarantee.

whenever i open up u torrent...or my computer..i hear my hdds disk spinning...like its re loading or somthing and then my taskbar keeps refreshing...
is it going on idle on auto? is there a way to check?

It sounds like your drives are spinning up to verify what data is present. Do you have Indexing turned off?

I'm not really very knowledgable on Hard Drives, if I could increase the rpm's or something to make it fun I would know more

hey i think my pc bsod while sleepin
where can i check for log reports?

 

[Slaymate]

Look in the Control Panel under Administrative Tools for the Event Viewer

 

[patonb]

The log is found in the minidump folder, but you need to use something like windbg from MS.

How old is your chip? More than 2 yrs?
