Hi all,
short-time member but long-time tinkerer, one thing still baffles me about my old rig...
Description: MSI K7T266Pro2-A + Duron 950, 2x256 Mb of value DDR333 + MSI Geforce4 ti 4200.
CPU: 7.5*133 MHz (1GHz), RAM: 2-2-2-6-1 @ 133(DDR/266) - multipliers unlocked using the old pencil trick.
VID: Core 250@280, Ram: 500@560, Nvidia generic 56.72 drivers.
Do mind that I pushed this ol' lady enough to have it play Doom 3 on 'low' @ 800x600 (no other vid details disabled), and it was... well... I managed to finish the demo. I also managed to score a whopping 16950 in Aquamark 3 once with this. Using good timings but no OC, score was 14500-15000.
The problem: if I tried to reboot the system with the CPU overclocked, it would hang before POST - it needed full power-off then back on to restart. However it wouldn't hang for days on end doing DVD to DivX backups, it wouldn't crash and, actually, it still works fine.
Any ideas?
For those thinking I can't afford a better rig and would start to flame, let's just say that this is my OLD system...
