Sometimes I noticed slow loading in apps when overclocked. Don't know why but the frame rate in games does improve, just loading is slower. I really think that the system must have many corrections to do since the overclocked CPU can ensure the reliability if data processed. Try to underclock your processor at default speed and see..

YAYA! That's what i had in mind. Last time i do overclocked (30%). In windows or loading app, the speed just like normal or sometimes make app crash. When play games, it sure will increase the performance

Maybe your RAM might not suit or comfort in running applications after you overclock 30%.You might try on the 25% overclock then maybe you can play games and also run applications without problem.Various of factors can caused that.

try to check the hdd maybe occur on hdd le...

Err.. it's not the ram problem. It's the processor. Mostly u need some cooler or what. The most i can overlock is 30%. That's it. More than that, my pc will auto restart. Cant logon to winxp. Hmm... overlocking processor is ntg to do with the ram la Just too much heat in my processor.

Processor and RAM o/c are related.I think you don't know much about the concept of o/c.Once you o/c your proc then your RAM's frequency will start incresing.Increase how much then will depends on the ratio setting you are using.Perhaps synchronous or not synchronous.A lot a lot to learn in overclocking.Then RAM timing also playing important role on top on of that.
