while im playing bf2 after 1 hour my comp freezes with a loud beep can someone give me any sugestions so i can try them... :confused:
specs:
amd semprom = 3000 running at 2.5 as5 compund 48c idle vcore 1.750
3sticks = Kingston ValueRAM 512MB pc3200 3-3-3-8 running at (2.5-3-3-7)

6800gt running at ultra speeds

Back off on your video card clocks and go play, see if it happens.
If it does it again then go to stock or back off your cpu overclock a bit to something your positive is fine,then again go play, otherwise might be the memory you didn't state weather it was overclocked or not, if it is then back it down, also and ... go play.

There's no point in running prime and all these stablility test programs if by doing these thing you can find the culprit and rectify the situation. Good luck and happy troubleshooting, if there is such a thing.

your ram could have error in it

i had/have the EXACT problem. So far its because my X2's memory controller wont handle my 2X1GB Ballistix very well. I have to run them at a 166 divider and at 3-4-4-10 1T. So far, no BF2 crashes and nasty beeps... someone said it was becuase of the Audigy 2 ZS, but im reluctant to believe so until it crashes again with these timings.

HERE is my thread i already made on this exact topic, it may help.

i went and picked through my dump files and found it to actually be a memory error. I have now corrected the issue, so far...

frequency=205.5 1.1 divider 2.5-3-3-7 i did lower the clock and it still gave me that loud beep.u guys will think im stupid but im new to overclocking and my question is am i ocing 'when i play with the dividers and lower the latency or when i raise the frequency??or do u guys think my ram is overheating??i havent touched the voltage though

[cmay119]

If you adjust the Latency for better performance, that would be classified as tweaking more than overclocking. It's overclocking when you raise the HTT. It depends on what divider you are running on how much the memory will overclock per every 1MHz you raise the HTT.

EDIT: First of all, you're running 3xKingston Value sticks. You're not going to get much of an oc out of those, but you can get some. I would raise the DRAM voltage .1v and see if that stabilizes your memory.

thanks for all the replies :D would heat spreaders help my ram to be more stable?

amd semprom = 3000 running at 2.5 as5 compund 48c idle vcore 1.750

48C idle?

and whats full temp?

also 1,75vcore... whats ur cooling?

[the_mistah]

Yes 48c Idle And At Full Load It Will Get To 60c When My Room Is Really Hot It Gets Up To 65c......as For My Cooling I Have 2 Intake Fans And 2 Exaust Fans 1 Pci Exaust Fan Under My Vid Card 1 More Intake Fan Connected To The Hf(VANTEC VA4-7245)....i Had To Lower My Clock To 2466mhz Because Of The Warm Weather...

[wat0n]

did you try to run your sempron at lower temps?

thats too high

[the_mistah]

i just installed a water cooler on my system to lower my temps but my comp keeps restarting itself when windows xp isnt loading yet....i have to clock down(stock speed) my cpu so i can get into windows...please help..

[biohead]

The CPU gets too hot
AMD doesn't like 3 sticks period.

[the_mistah]

on air alone i was OC'd at 2.5......i just installed a water cooler on my cpu and it keeps restarting before windows xp loads.......to use my comp i have to clock it down any ideas? shouldnt it be more stable since im on water now?
