Hi all,

I have a Gigabyte 8irxp mobo (with the 845d chipset),
I had a 1.6A northwood running on it, up to 159 fsb I could run it with 1.55V real, but anyhting above caused a black screen: if I rebooted the screen fell out and wouldn't do anything anymore, just after 10 or more resets it would startup again on standard settings, my ram (corsair 2100) is running on fastest timings, so I thought maybe the RAM can't follow so I raised the voltage with 0.2V and adjusted it to slowest timings, that didn't helped,

yesterday I installed my 2.4B on that mobo, and exactly the same problem, 155 fsb ( 2788 mhz) goes on stock voltage (1.5V -> 1.47 real ) but anything above 159 causes the black screen, and the only way of recovering is cmos clear, I raised my voltage of the cpu to 1.65 real, ram voltage +0.2V , agp voltage +0.2V, nothing helped,

what could be the problem?
thx in advance,
Gert

If I remember right (I used to own this board), it does not provide any sort of AGP/PCI dividers :( .. this might be your problem...

no it has dividers,
on fsb 133 it's 33/66
and i tried on 170 fsb also on 33/66
and no diffirence,

greetings,
