Been like the middle class here; fat, dumb and happy with my 900 T'bird/KT7A RAID/Crucial 7E set up. Been running at 133/33/7.5 for 1000MHz about a month and a half, life was good.
Of late, I will return to PC to find it locked up. Mouse stuck on desktop, must reset to reboot. Now I can be typing in Word, and same thing. So I start setting memory timings back to normal settings and it still happens from time to time. Geting pretty close to stock settings here and it still happens, last thing to do now is go back to 900 @ 100/33.
CPU has an Alpha PAL6035, is at 28C right now, 38C loaded. Arctic Silver on everthing including the VIA chip, but not oozing. No viruses detected.
Installed a 350watt Fortron power supply to no avail. And my multiplier came unlocked from AMD, so it doesn't need re-penciling.
Any long time over clocker advice for me? Is there impending doom I can look forward to, like Death of a CPU? Or just upgrade again?
