will keep you guys updated, after I get settings right, I'll go out for tennis and leave the computer on for priming, after priming is completed, I will post official results for a stable setup. Thanks for looking!

Heres a tip, overclock in bios to a certain point and then go higher using "EasyTune5"....

yah that sounds right, i'm having problems with easy tunes. It's getting usntable at around 2.4, and this shouldn't be happening :/

look I even reached 4000MHz on my crappy P4 3.0ghz stock prescott, but first i did a 300mhz oc in bios..

crap, whenever windows try to start up, I get this blue screen with some error and by ntfs.sys. So I'm assuming the HD got corrupted form a improper shutdown I did when the comp crashed while doing easy tune?

when i get the blue screen its usually ram... but i don't see the ram being the case.. seeing as its ddr800...

naw man, I ran memtest for 10-12 hours straight before I didn any overclocking to make sure all my equipment is good.

Its a file corruption for sure.

 

[NosBoost300]

when you restart windows does it ask you to do a scan??? if it does,let it do it, because it found a couple of corrupt files and fixed them for it, then i went back to oc'in

2.8Ghz is about the minimum people are getting, so I wouldn't be too hesitant in raising the FSB is rather large (maybe 25Mhz) chunks up to 400FSB.

It may take a slight vcore adjustment to be prime stable at that point, max 1.4 I would think.

Are those the HZ Gskill sticks?

these are the ram I got: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231065

confirmed it was HD problem, filled out RMA, HD will be mailed back tommorow. I returned it for a refund instead of replacement, will be looking for a different HD.
