HELP PLEASE!!!

[DudeRighteous]

Ok, I have a P4 3.2ghz 800mhz Ht, MSI-NEO 2 FSIR, and 512mb of Corsair DDR400 Twinx 3200LL, I went into the bios to change the dynamic overclock preference to General, after reboot, all I get now is the computer locking up when it boots windows or some times when on first start, I don't even get a post just the endless intilaizing of the floppy. I cleared the cmos and restarted, loaded default bios settings, and it booted no prob, so I restarted but then locks up on windows booting, only way to get it to boot is if I reset the cmos and boot. Also thing to note is after the cmos reset, and I boot then restart the dram timings changed. Memory damaged? Motherboard damaged? Cpu?

turn the crappy DOT stuff off. If you wish to OC, research it and do it manually.

The memory timings fluctuating is quite normal, as the various performance settings will change these, but after resetting the BIOS they will be set by the SPD chip on the RAM itself.

When It's stable, <i>then</i> start slowing incrementing your FSB, a couple of Mhz at a time, testing in between.. If you still want to overclock that is. I wouldn't trust that DOT stuff myself. sounds like it pushes something a bit too hard.

The end is nigh.. (For this post at least)

I agree with the above, but I'd also add that the memory timings for the LL RAM might be too harsh for the system to run. Try easing back on the memory latency timings and see if that helps.
