Blue Screen During Overclocking NB 955BE
Blue Screen During Overclocking NB 955BE
Alright so recently I've been doing a little overclocking and have been able to get everything stable at my current settings. In trying to get just a little more juice out of my CPU I have been attempting to OC my NB. Well I've tried various voltages, decreasing HT speed, RAM frequency. I just can't get anything stable, even at only 2200 MHZ (2000 stock). They all randomly (I mean, completely random) BSOD. I get this error:

Anything else you guys need to help me isolate this problem just let me know! And it really is completely stable at 2000 MHz, p95 all day, I play BC2 without BSODs, RAM passed memtest.
Hi.
This
is a guide about How OC the X4 955. Maybe can help you.
To help diagnose your issue, you'll need to enter the Bios settings with the correct values. For both the CPU and memory to run at 2600Mhz, the NB and HT voltages should be at least 1.3v each. It might be due to the motherboard defaulting to 1.3v even though it shows 1.1v in OverDrive. You can try adjusting the BIOS settings until it reflects 1.3v in OverDrive.
I only need to understand the distinction between NB VID and NB voltage, so I can try adjusting them.
I’d also appreciate knowing some solid starting points, the average values required to hit 2400–2600, especially from someone with some experience using both.
Thanks!
This discussion is quite engaging for me as well. I'm facing a similar issue and would appreciate any feedback. Your configuration is quite alike, do you have 1150MHz DDR2 RAM? If yes, could you provide more details about your overclocking? Also, please share the voltage information.
This discussion caught my attention as well. I'm facing a similar situation and would appreciate some feedback. Your configuration seems to match mine; do you have 1150mhz DDR2 RAM? I'd love to know more about your overclocking if possible, including the voltage details.
I understand one stick is single channel, I chose 6GB RAM because it was cheaper, right? Won't that have a big impact? And regarding your question about performance, my computer runs slower with more RAM?
