hi everyone,
I have a Amd Athlon XP 2800+ (barton Core). ever since i bought this product i have never been able to run it at normal speeds. Normal speeds are : Multiplier = 12.5 (locked) FSB = 166 i have to run my processor at : Multiplier = 12.5 FSB = 160
Only when i do highly demanding things my cpu used to reset and get critical errors constantly. I changed down the front side bus to 160 and i didnt get the problems but now i want to put it back to normal speeds and im still getting the errors and resetting i used to get. Cooling is not the issue i have 5x 90mm fans.
My computer stats are:
Thermaltake Damier V5000 Thermaltake purepower 420W psu AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (barton core) MSI-KT4V mainboard 1gig (2x512mb) memory pc3200 DDR 400 ATI sapphire 9700pro ultimate edition western digital 200gig 8mb cache 7200 rpm

Im not sure i will have a look when i get home (im at school) i can put it at 166fsb but its just stable at all during games. It resets,exits to desktop,occasional blue screen(rare).
