BUT when i use x1900xt or x800GT with 1,5V MCH and 400FSB then after the restart it does the cold boot, but after the cold boot it powers on for like 2 seconds and then it shuts down. and if i power on the PC then it boots at default clocks and with an error message "overclocking or overvoltage failed".
im using fortron bluestorm 500W and tried the chieftec 400W (with chieftec the problem seemed to have gone away for sometime, but reappeared again). my friend who used almost the same setup as i did (same mem, same motherboard, conroe not allendale, seasonic 430W) has no problems. could it really be my PSU, should i buy the seasonic?
