I got this issue with my 3200:
According to quite alot at DFI forums, newer winchester's are crap overclockers, is this true? I myself have only managed 2.4 stable and it was hell getting there. Uping the FSB and increasing the voltage didn't work it was a case of random settings.
Anyway...
I decided to reset my settings cause City of Heros didn't seem to like my OC'd 3200, though Wolfenstein can for hours and Prime95 could for around 18hours.
I then added a blue cathrode to my case, and tried to OC again using the same settings for 2.4! And it kept rebooting before it reached Windows. So Now I've unconnected the cathrode, a case fan that runs on the motherboard and another one that uses a molex connector, tried the OC again and it worked!
So is that I've got 1 of the poor new batch 3200s that won't overclock? Or haven't I got enough power running my system?
System Specs:
Antec True Blue 480watt PSU (I use a 20/24 pin adapter)
DFI Lanparty SLI-DR
XFX 6800GT
