memeory 2T
HTTx5

ok and this is where i got to (over 2 days)

corespeed 207mhz x 11 multi =aprox 2.3ghz
memory changed to 1T
HTT changed to x4

run pcmark 04 and was fine
runnin 3dbenchmark03 and approx halfway thro benchin the comp rebooted?

this is my 1st time OCin and i know that this is not impressive,what u guys recommend. ive changed back to default and its running fine.
i also changed the core speed to 205mhz and it ran fine.......where do i go? all temp seem fine.

Well..

That's quite strange because it should be working fine at such a low OC. What is the Vcore that you are running at? It could possibly need a bit more juice. Since it's a San Diego, I would expect you to be able to hit 2.6Ghz easily with 1.55V or possibly even less.

EDIT: Your main problem could be the 1T command rate for the memory. It could not be able to handle that. As well as that, what memory divider od you use? Also have a read through OC 101 - http://www.computerforum.com/showthread.php?t=16346

also i didnt raise the voltage, if i have same prob as b4 ill raise 0.5v
 
Heya

Well, it would help if you could identify the memory settings in your BIOS and list them here. We would help you select the best option for your memory (identify the type you have as well). Iy could have been that you RAM was the problem because it could not handle the extra speed if you left the ratios intact.
