Hello all,

I have a fujitsu-siemens scaleo p intel pentium 4 530 3ghz lga755 prescott, i would really like to overclock it just for the hell of it, but when i go into bios everything that needs changing is greyed out, ive read the oc101 it suggests clockgen which doesnt work as even if i change it slightly the system becomes unstable and goes to a blue screen, is there anyway i can unlock the settings in bios or is there any other utilty i could use as when i use clockgen it doesnt just change the fsb it changes everything which i think is the problem why its making my system unstable, btw my motherboard is a asus p5gd1-fm. thanks in advance :)

Ah lisa, not very often we get a women in the ranks. Nice to see you here. Go to asus.com and check to see if there is any BIOS updates that you need to enable functionality. This shouldnt be happening on such a new board.
 
You have set the overclock method to manual not any of the other methods (ie Overlcok profile, Auto, etc)
 
Cheers for the welcome, im just a bored gal trying to take a few risks lol, btw are we talking about the same programme ie:clockgen as there are no options to pick from on it, unless i am using the wrong version but the one i dl was the one for my board there are no options on it at all, i also went to the fujitsu website and they have a bios upgrade but im not sure if it unlocks the ratio thing as it doesnt say, also i have never done a bios flash before, what if it goes wrong :eek:

ok, ignore the whole BIOS flach thing, cromwell is more on the right wavelength than i was. The option for overclocking methid will be in the BIOS not in clockgen
 
Hey again,

No i do not have this option in bios, im guessing they dont want me to be able to overclock the system i have been all through my bios settings and it is not there, it says ratio setings locked in bios advanced settings. So is there no other way i can overclock this system?

Cheers

Fujitsu must be using a BIOS that is meant to keep the machine operating in the same state it left the factory instead of the default AMI BIOS that Asus boards normally ship with.
 
So, surely, if you go to the ASUS site and search for your board and download ASUS's bios for it it will have the settings unlocked????
 
Hi

Ok i have been onto the asus website and dl the latest bios ugrade its a rom file and its says to make a dos floppy and run it from that, is it safe to do, please help me out, cheers

If im not mistaken, thats an OEM motherboard? If so then I'm quite surprised ASUS puts out BIOSes for it. In any case, there's an eaiser way to update the BIOS for ASUS boards ... there's an ASUSUpdate application that lets you do it from windows and they step you through that
 
Hey again lol, just noticed you replyed to this as well, well as you probably already guessed :p, it didnt work, yeh the ones on the asus site do not appear to work on OEM pc's, owell :(

yeah im not surprised ... OEM systems usually have hacked out BIOSes to remove any trace of OC capabilities.
