i'v read in a few forum's they are people having issues with overclocking a 64bit vista.

looks like i wasn't alone.

i would like to know if there is anyone here has successfully overclocked on a 64bit vista without any boot issues.

my problem is that during the windows boot screen, when it finishes booting, there is a flash bsod then it reboots. even on stock settings. i think i just need to reformat.

What values did you change exactly ? Tried using the BIOS deafults ? x64 is quite notorious for video driver hangs. Might want to do a clean uninstall and install of the drivers. Mobo drivers first (if any) before the vga ones.

even with the default settings it still has booting issues. i didn't install any mobo driver. only the vga driver. but when i ran 3dmark and some gaming, it never hangs.

Er, hardware list please. And you should really install those mobo drivers at the very least (Intel inf for Intel chipsets and forceware drvers for Nforce mobos). So you can boot at times ?

Sure no problem. Will do it later. Upgrading BIOS in x64 environment is a hassel.
Did u manage to get the error message when the BSOD came out?
*
the BSOD is too fast i cant read anything. but when i try to fix the startup by using the dvd boot, i manage to go thru the error details and saw the phrase "bad driver"

Bad raid problems or the display drivers. Since both mike and you are using the DS3, best to update to the latest BIOS. If you google around, there are some horror stories regarding the Rev 1.0 of the board.

its not raid and not vga. i just did a startup repair with system restore removing the faulty driver. have no idea which driver tho..

everything seems much more stable now and managed to get higher clock with low vcore, considering the amount of vdroop DS3 has..

NB undervolted ? Hmm, so how much of an increase should I add here ? FSB termination voltage ? Vtt ? It's at 1.25v iianm. Thx in advance.

i don't think your NB is undervolted unless your FSB is 500 and since your on a dfi mobo, it should be alright. but if your system crashes, what you could do at most is just increse the NB to +0.1

try increasing the vcore then, might be your vdroop. btw, how's your temperature like?
