Next morning, motherboard gives post beebs, long then short, motherboard or memory error.

Tried cmos reset and taking battery out. Same problem.

Any ideas?

This is my first post and I'm not sure that I have chose the right forum, but this is a clock related matter. I have an application that I'm writing and I need an accurate high frequency timer capable of 100kHz.

Now before you say that is impossible I would like to inform you that it is currently being done in Windows XP on my PC without any additional hardware and it consumes only 6 to 7 percent of the processor time, but not with my software.

I have been researching this matter for a couple of years, but not with determination I have had lately. I ran across this article:
http://www.dedicated-systems.com/mag...001q3_p077.pdf and I thought that I had found something so I started studying the 8253 Programmable Interval Timer, or PIT as it is more commonly called. It is stated many times on the internet that most all modern computers have an 8253/8254 PIT.

After spending a couple of hours studying the chip I decided to pull out one my spare mainboards so that I could get a visual on the chip. That is when all of my effort became a waste of time as my mainboard does not have anything that I can identify as a timer. South bridge is SiS645DX and North bridge is SiS962.

Can any of you shed any light on this subject?

I've made sure every part is kitted with good solid third party cooling, no stock parts here.

Basically I want to start overclocking, I'll list what I have-what's cooling it and protecting it all and I'd love to know where to go from there. I've no idea which BIOS settings to adjust or which OC software to use. I'd really appreciate some help.

CPU- intel core 2 Quad (2.4ghz)
----- Zalman 1000 heatsink.
-----Akasa 450 thermal paste

PSU- Thermaltake Toughpower 750w

RAM- 2x A-Data 2gb DDR2 RAM modules with copper heatsink "sleaves"
----- 2x Kingston 1gb DDR2 RAM modules, no heatsink

Motherboard- ASUS P5N-E SLi board. BIOS was flashed with most up-to-date version last week.
------ Northbridge is cooled with Zalman copper heatsink w/ small 30mm fan.
------ Southbridge has a simple metal heatsink stuck over it.

GPU- XFX ATi HD 4890
----- cooled with thermaright t-rad^2 gtx. It's fitted with 2x Scythe Kama 92mm fans. A second heatsink, "VRM-2" is also placed as is required by thermalright for the t-rad to fit.

(Finally) CASE- Antec 300
-------- fitted with a full set of Scythe Kama 120mm fans (2x front, 2x back, 1x top, 1x side)

Running Win7 Ultimate x64bit.

--------------------------------------------------

I used to have an XFX 4890 black edition which had a 1000mhz clock speed out of the box. It died and was RMAd, as of now the replacement is the plain 4980.

I've tried a *small?* overclock of the GPU by pushing the clock speed from 850mhz to 1000mhz using the ATI catalyst program. My system is fully stable.

So I've put in all this detail...but what can I actually change? I hear quad-cores can be OCed by +20%. Could I push my GPU further? I'm just not sure what to do..

I got my new Antec 900 and Thermaltake V1 fan all set up and love it. However, I got a question on temps.

I got my AMD Dual Core 2.6GHZ overclocked to 3GHZ and it works great. I use Core Temp and Everest Ultimate Edition to check my temps. Core Temp says I am running at 33 degrees celcius for the cores and Everest says 24 degrees celcius.

I have always used Everest and love that software. But which one is the most accurate?. That is near 10 degrees of difference per program. ]]> Overclocking neonjuice http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/overclocking/429782-temps-question-fro-core-temp-everest.html GeForce 8600GT 512MB DDR2 overclocking http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/overclocking/429407-geforce-8600gt-512mb-ddr2-overclocking.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:34:01 GMT Hi, I have a GeForce 8600GT 512MB DDR2, I currently overclocked with rivatuner core clock: 675 shader: 1485 Memory: 451 Temp: 44C Idling, Max 56C after gaming till back to idle temp. *Running*: Windows XP sp3 2009 dual booting with Windows 7 Home Premium (both 32bit).

First of all I am currently running:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
ASUS P5Q Motherboard

I'm not quite sure why but in CPU-Z it is telling me that I am still running everything at stock and vCore at 1.32v. While stressing I am only getting around 56C so I don't think that I'm overheating.
