hey guys, when ever i try to overclock my system and then go into a game like quake 4 it always freezes up on me would this be becouse i don't have enough memory, i have 2x 512mb ram

thank you
 
Have you read the OC101 section? If you try and overclock too much, this will also cause instability. Try raising the FSB 5-10mhz increments at first, and then testing for stability after each jump. When you hit a wall where a pi calculation fails, try raising the vCore a little bit. Do this, and as you get higher decrease the intervals. Overclocking takes time, and it varies for each system. Use a stability program like SuperPi or PiFast 4.3.
 
What kind of processor are u overclocking. What speeds are you overclokcing from and then overclocking to.
 
i have the AMD Athlon™ 64 3700+ (San Diego Core) (Socket 939) and a mother borad that has AI nos and other overclocking features i'll try to get some pics of them for you
 
hey sorry i can't get pics coz they'll be to large for this site, the overclocking programs i have are - Asus - Ai Booster that has Ai Nos setings (%) and preformance settings (%) and temperture monitoring, also the Vtuner2 which came with My gigabyte nivida 6600gt which lets me set my Core and memory clock (MHz) and 2 gig's of memory i hope this well help
 
Well using those programs only temporarily overclocks it, once you restart its back to normal. The best thing to do is overclock it in BIOS.

Whats the temp of your CPU? have you raised the voltage yet? What kind of memory is it?
 
the temp of the Cpu all ways stays around at the 28- 30c, and i have'nt raised the voltage yet, and its a 4x 512mb corsair memory
 
From the BIOS, for a permanent OC, raise the FSB slightly (5-10Mhz) and check for stability by runnnig a program like SuperPi. Raise the voltage to the CPU (vCore) when it first becomes unstable by a small increment.
 
my goal when i overclock is to find a nice balance between temperature and voltage. voltage will raise temperature a bunch, but voltage will increase stability. in short, the better your cooling device the more you will be able to overclock.
of course more heat = less lifetime for the processor.
also, what socket? the 754 version is 130nm putting out alot of heat, if it were 939 then it would be much more overclockable.
also, note that when u overclock your processor, it also overclocks your ram. this could be another reason it is freezing.
is your video card overclocked? that could also be another reason.
