Hello guys!

I'm new here and have a big problem.

I often try to overclock my PC but 100 Mhz more and the PC crashes (Bluescreen or Freeze). I have OCZ 3200+ DC Rev.2.0 and at normaly settings the PC crashes too, then i have taken another settings from a member of another forum. The PC is okay but if i take more HTT and overclock my PC on 2100 MHZ, then it's over and the PC crashes.
What shall i do? It's maybe my Graphics Card? I have overclocked on 430 Core and 440 Memory. I want to overclock my PC over 2300MHZ but the settings are maybe not okay. Need help.

Ah yes i tried to overclock with Clockgen.

Here the information about my PC:

DFI Ultra-D Rev. 3
Winnie 3200+
2x 512 OCZ 3200+ DC Rev. 2.0
Graphic Card Radeon X700 256mb
Tagan TGU480 - U01

I hope you can help me.
Sorry about my english.

So here are information about Ram, CPU

AA0 revision identifies the board as being manufactured in China as oppose to the other DFI mfg plant in Taiwan.

It's really ridiculous that you have to use a floppy drive to install the mass storage drivers when installing Windows. What's the problem about reading them from CD or USB storage devices?! :stick:

It is, really. I installed my normal floppy again yesterday, as the machine wouldn't read all the need drivers off my USB floppy. Also, especially this board seems to have problems with USB devices in general. To install without problems, I had to put my keyboard in PS/2 using an adaptor.

Fortunately I need no drivers for this board cuz I use the Nvidia IDE controller. For my old board I installed my floppy drive ehind a bracket and left the floppy in it ;).

Well I use it too, but my 2 74 Raptors are in Raid 0, so I always need drivers... stupid thing.

There is a sticky at DFI Forums with the information as to what to include in your signature for diagnostic purposes.

So possibly could be worse quality than an a00 made in taiwain?

try more voltage to the ram.......and chipset ...my chipset needed more to let me go past 220.....also set LDT to 1.30 ....HTT down to 4 might also help...

I've got an AA0 rev SLI-DR that's been abused on my test bench for over 2 weeks now, no manufacturing related problems to date. Only item regarding manufacturing I found was possibly too high temp during their reflow process (there were quite a few mini solder ball splatters in some areas of the board, particularly the top right).

Yeah i have DRam Voltage 2,70, Chipset 1,30 and HTT 4.
It's run :) but how many MHZ has you? I have only 2058? :confused:

It's right?
Thx

i just made it to 250FSB so 2500mhz....and wont go any further atm ......but RAM is hynix based, so I have to run with cpc diabled..otherwise ram settings is auto on pretty much everything.

2.8 to RAM , 1.3 LDT, 1.53 CPU and a lot to chipset ....cant remember exactly but 2 choices over standard. HTT 4. what stopped me from going over 220FSB at stock voltage was chipset.

Anyone using the BlueTooth version of the Logitech MX Keyboard & Mouse??

I'm having the worst problems getting my Keyboard to work here...

My Mouse recognises fine but when I try to install the associated software for the Keyboard, it just doesn't recognise it any more...

I have changed batteries for my keyboard with more than 5 other sets of rechargeable batteries but it just doesn't work for some reason.

Is anyone else is using USB/Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse sets, please let me know which settings you are using for the bios...

I am having one h3ll of a time trying to get this combo working...

My last resort is to use my BlueTooth MX Keyboard & Mouse set on my K8N Neo2 & just use the older MX Keyboard & Mouse Set for the DFI...

That, & can someone let me know what bios settings are the best for VX4000. Either just le me know by typing what settings are used in the bios or take a snapshot of AMD64Tweaker...

I have a few snapshots but don't know whether these settings are best or not.

Cheers,
Minnyboy

Found out what the problem was... I had the firewall on...

Wonder why it behaves so bad when I have a firewall running??

Now I know why it also plays up on the K8N Neo2 as well.... Just read the documentation (mind you it's nowhere on the manual) on Logitech's website & found the source of the problem..

So folks, if you run into problems with BlueTooth enabled Keyboard/Mouse/USB receivers, turn the firewall off when you're installing the siftware/drivers for the product. Especially if you're using any of the NF4 based Firewalls...

Maybe because Bluetooth is a network connection? ;)

Oh no it's not run :( . System crashes if i set up over FSB 210 like 220 HTT is 4x. Can you give me your full settings? It's easier for me to test the system.

hmmm havent changed much....told you my voltage settings. set cpc in ram timings to disabled....because og my hynix. RAM in the orange slots.

bank interleaved off of cause, but thats standard. 32 bit granularity 8 burst..... rest is just standard.....set all USB jumpers on the board to 5VSB instead of 5, and only using marvell web interface... using 310 bios but i will soon change to 326 ...

so are you STILL at 2.7V ?!?!?!

i explained him already a few times he NEEDS 2.9V for his two rev2 sticks but he's obviously afraid they'll blow up once he goes over 2.7....
