A little advice would be appreciated. I have a Cel2400 that's been running
at 3200 for a couple of months now on a P4G8X Deluxe. I'm using the stock
cooler and haven't changed any voltage related settings in the bios. I've
locked the AGP and PCI busses at 66/33 and moved the FSB to 133. Up until
recently, no problems at all. I've been doing some stuff that has the system
running at 100% cpu usage a lot the last week or so. Once in a while it dies
and locks up or just reboots. I'm not sure it's a cooling issue, the case is
well ventilated and even with just the stock cooler and QFan enabled at
10/15 setting I've never seen it go over 54C and that's after 40 minutes of
100% cpu usage. Usually I'm in the mid to upper 40's running this stuff and
at idle with the fan at about 1600rpm I'm at 38 to 40C. When it moves nearer
50C the fan comes up to about 2500 rpm and it cools back down. Do I need to
bring up the VCore or could it really be a cooling issue? Any suggestions
appreciated

It sound like you need to increase Vcore. Test it with Prime95 to make sure
it is stable.

I've raised it .5V and it's better, thanks
