2.26GHZ oc'ing = blue screen of death!! HELP!

[dorokhin]

When I overclock my 2.26GHZ Northwood (533MHZ) past a FSB of 144 (2.44GHZ), i can't load my OS. I just installed windowsXP to see if it was any better than 2000 for this oc'ing but alas...both give me a blue screen of death during the initial OS loading when the system is overclocked too much. This is really disappointing because I'm sure that this CPU could go a lot higher than 2.44GHZ. Could someone give me some advice as to what could be the problem? Also, when overclocking, should I change the voltage to anything (CPU, AGP, VDIMM)?

On a different note, anyone know why my mobo name isn't showing up with 3dmark's results? Could this mean I haven't installed proper drivers for it??

Help is appreciated! :)

I'm not familiar with that board but...

What CPU to Ram ratio are you running.

You are probably failing on Ram and not CPU.

If you are running cpu at a lower ratio than ram like 4:5 or 3:4 you may want to try 1:1 and see if the cpu will go higher.

If you have a ratio that puts the cpu higher than the ram like 4:3 you may want to try that also.

Once you find how high the CPU will go you can focus on the ram issue.

RAM is 4:3 by default (i have no idea what that means but i know that it is set as such in my bios)

[dorokhin]

i haven't actually found a way to change to in my bios so that the 1st # is lower than the 2nd
