i have my vcore set at like 1.6 the vdimm is at like 2.7 my memory is set to 166. i upped the frequency to 223 which gave me 2 gigs.now i ran the torcher test for like a day and it said 1 error.now when i run the 3d mark test it wont work my computer reboots.i dont know if i can lock the graffix card like i keep reading about people doing 66/33 or something.i only saw a setting to enable or disable agp/pci clock.will that work if i disable it.any help with this or if you know a better way please help.also after i up my frequency my computer sometimes says recovered from a error.whats that?

It really doesn't matter what you use for cooling as long as you list CPU temp so that people can help ID'ing the potential problem. Besides, there is practically not much heat from S-939 running 15% overclock and the GForce 6200 is the same.

The way I see it -
1) Memory can be set at 200 making them run at 230 Mhz is below PC4000 rated default speed.
2)

Quote:

i upped the frequency to 223 which gave me 2 gigs.now

What does this mean?
3) AGP/PCI should be locked
4) Recovery from an error or system crashed meaning your system is unstable.
5) 1.6V is high unless you have good CPU temp.

Others may jump in to offer help. By the way, welcome to the forum

i meant in the bios it says cpu frequency.i changed it from 200 to 223 to get 2.01g.my temp is anywhere between 40 to 50 c.so like isaid when im in bios i only have a choice to enable or disable pci/agp clock.i should disable it.i also ran my computer for like 36 hours on prime and got 1 error.but like i said when i run 3d mark it wont work itll load up then the screen will go blank and my computer will reboot.thanx for your help and the welcome.

PCI/AGP = enable lock if present

What are the settings in Vcard? Or, reinstall 3DMark.
