max 192 fsb with PC3200 ram, 2500+ Barton

Hi!
My system spec. is:
Abit NF7
AMD 2500+ Barton in a box
2x512 PC3200 Corsair value ram
400W NorthQ PSU with 16A on the 12V line

I have OC my system to run stable at 192*11 with Vcore 1,775, unstable
with less Vcore
I have tried many different combinations to get my system running higher
than 192*11, but so far with no luck. Windows starts up with no problems,
but as soon as I play a game the system crashes. Temp. never reaches
higher than 50 C before it crashes.
Vcore from 1.775 to 1.81
Ram V 2.7
FSB/Ram ratio: by SPD and auto

I think that it's my ram modules that can't support an FSB higher than
192, but there are supposed to run at 200 fsb.
Does any one have any idea what I can't over clock higher?

It sounds heat related. Maybe download AIDA32 and check out what your
internal CPU diode temps are right after you run a game or other high load
like prime95. That 50C you're getting is CPU external....it could be in the
high 60's or low 70's internally. Sounds like you're still running the stock
hs/fan. Upgrade and your problems should disappear. I use a Vantec Aeroflow,
but there's lots of others out there.
