helloooooo

tq for those who help me with my mobo prblm

it seams that the bios ver 20 not very stable cause after plug in all the mobo back to cpu it hang again and now with old 19 it ok

that's a luck

Thanks for coming back for AN8, Tiptac
Will try them when free... =)

tic tac is it stable i affraid to kacau the bios already lorrrr

can u help me teach how to do bios flashing the old ways by using thumb drive
since i don't used floppy

The best way to update bios ...
U need to format your usb drive to have system file to boot in dos...
Depent what brand u have there and the software comes with it...
U need to use the software utility to make the usb drive to boot and not by windows...
If the usb drive can boot... what u need to do is just copy all the bios file in the usb drive and type "runme"

how to format with have system boot in dos...
don't know ooooo
is it in window rght klick n pick format but cannot create one oooo

how do u flash ur bios b4 this ?? i only use abit flash menu and no problem at all

abit flash menu lar after what have dont to me i affraid to do that again and want to updated the old way

told u already...
u need use your flash driver software that comes with it....
if kingston... go www.kingston.com and download the utilities for it to format usb drive as a bootable usb drive...

hahahah
sorry n tq for everythng

Okay guys, I need some help overclocking... tried following some guides, but dont seem to work for me.

My specs:
A64 3000+ winchester with artic freezer 64
Mobo is Abit AN8 (bios 19)
Ram are dual channel mushkins (512 x 2) PC3200 with SPD showing 2.5-3-3-8 at 1T
Inno3D 7800GT
Pwr supply is Delta 450W
3 WD Sata harddisks
LG dvd/cd-rw combo.

Ok, so far what I have done initially is to change the HT to 3x, ddr to ddr333 and cpu multiplier to 8x. Ran super pi 1Meg at HTT 240mhz, no problem.. ran fine. But increase it slightly higher, and it fails. Tried increasing the cpu voltage, as well as ddrv and vht slightly, no go.
At 250mhz, it totally hang whereby either it hangs in windows, goes to black screen or reboots. Tried changing the HT to 1x still same results. At 250mhz htt, kaput.

Really need help on how to OC as I see most of you can get your a64 3000+ up to 2.4Ghz no problem. Temp is not an issue as I monitor it constantly. On idle cpu is at about 35C and about 40 on full load.

My 12v rail is at 12.05 idle, 12.11 at load. 5v rail is at about 5.12v most of the time and the 3.3v is at 3.42v most of d time. Dont really see them fluctuate.

So, can someone please tell me what's wrong? Is it the RAM? the only thing i can think of that's causing problems is the RAM. Either that, or its the voltages.

Btw, at the setting below, my system could run super pi 32M no problem. But slightly above that, and it starts giving out errors, windows starts to act funny.




Any kind of help/suggestion/advice is highly appreciated. Thanks!

whats the highest speed u can get with a 9X multi on the cpu?

hi.. well, i can set it up to 230mhz with 9x, but it wont be stable and fails super pi 32M. so the highest stable would be 220mhz at x9 multi (that passes super pi 32M, and also 3dmark06. so that's about 1980Mhz

Try setting the memory to 2T timing. My Fatality SLI doesn't do 1T at HTT above 210-220.

em... sorry, i'm a big newbie... I've been tinkering in the bios for almost an hour now, but I can't find the 1T or 2T timing in bios. What exactly am i supposed to look for?

Found it! Didnt realise its called DRAM Command Rate. Anyway, tested earlier with 4x HT and 2T at 240Mhz I could run super pi 1M and 2M fine. but right after that, explorer starts crashing, IE crashes, abit crashes. Could this be due to voltage? kind of weird as it ran super pi just fine.
