Hi guys

I have a strange issue going on here with my board. It used to run stable (2 instances of prime95,memtest86+,3dmark01/03,etc.) at 290 FSB but now I'm having lock ups with my video card on those high speeds. It works ok at 280 but can’t seem to get it up to 290 anymore and stress my video card (play a game or run a video benchmark, etc.).
I think I pushed my MOBO too far trying to get a better o/c out of my vid card. I was testing to see if a 1.8v volt on the agp slot would help to get my card to go higher, fell asleep and left it overnight and that is were the problems started. After resetting bios overnight I have managed to get it up to 280 FSB stable.
I leaning towards a "semi-fried" agp slot but I have doubts since I don't think there can be a semi-fried state in MOBO's, either is fried or not. As I said its all working fine at 280 FSB I just can’t get it higher anymore. What do you guys think?

I'm puzzled.

I don't think the board is fried, but your video card may very well be damaged. A damaged card or even just different types of video cards will produce different OC results. Even with agp/pci locks, the way the data is handled will effect OCing. If you can try a different card and see if your fsb can go back to where it used to be.
