I'm having some strange problems OCing with my P5W DH.
If I overclock at all, even to 300fsb, my windows theme will change to "modified theme" (using the bubbly XP bars) whereas it normally is in windows classic. I change settings back to stock, it works fine.
Why OCing would affect that is beyond me...
Also, this has not happened every time, but any 2d graphics would be corrupt, in that my desktop would have either a blue or green hue. However, running a 3d game was fine and did not have the hue. To fix this I had to reinstall the catalyst drivers, simply going back to stock settings did not fix it.
Bios settings changed:
FSB: 300mhz
Performance Mode: Standard (tried auto too)
PCI-E: 100mhz
PCI: 33.33mhz
Memory Freq: DDR2-800
Hyper path 3: disabled
Here's my setup:
E6400
Radeon X1900 XT 512mb
1gb Mushkin SP2-6400 5-5-5-12
Bios 1602
CPU temps are below 50C even OC'd
