| stability problems... Hello... My duron 1.6 is overclocked to 11*190 on an epox 8RDA+ (rev 1.0) mobo. the mem is @ 100% and is Winbond BH5, so that's probebly not the bottleneck. and the graka is a 9800 np, so no problem, here I think. It sometimes freezes when I play games, even when they're not the newest games (e.g. rise of nations, which isn't a very demanding game). What happens? Well, All of a sudden, my screen blacks out, and my led says no signal input (or something like that). Or, my computer just reboots... My Vccore is @ 1.6 now instead of 1.5 normally, but this doesn't help very much either... Could you help me out, it's really annoying if your computer blacks out in the middle of a game Thanks |

| yep, try prime and see what happens how are your voltage rails, and what PSU are you using? |

| I don't have any problems running @ 1.6Ghz I tried prime a time ago, and everything went fine, but I'll let it run all afternoon. voltage rails are: 3.3V -> 2.74V 5V -> 4.92V 12V ->12.22V it's a no-name PSU (300W I believe) I lowered my Vcore back to 1.550 instead of 1.625 It should be stable at that voltage... thanks |

then the problem is definitely your overclock. lower the multiplier and enjoy stability. the 3.3v line is below spec too, might want to look into that.

| New durons appaloosas are unfortunatly mp locked. Try unlocking the l2cache for extra speed and instability. : )
