My BP6 won't run stable with 3 ram sticks no matter what they are. With just 2 sticks it's fine. Maybe your ram is ok and its just unhappy about having three.

fan direction

i've currently got my bp6 running fairly stable, it only crashes about once a month now. the cpu's have nice big aluminum heatsinks on them because they're overclocked from 400 to 558mhz. i found that a cold air intake over each of the fans will lower the temps by 5c but they pick up lots of dust, a...

i bumped them up to 2.2 now... and it ran 2 instances of prime95 for about 40 hours before one of them gave a reading from temp file error. after that i called it stable enough for my useage. 2.2 may be a little high, but i dont really care because its no use if the system is unstable just so the cp...

i just checked the core voltages, they where both at 2.1v already, so i'll try 2.05v before anything else.

seems more stable now. its been running with just the 2 ram sticks for 7 days and 2 hours now. I've got 2 instances of prime95 runing on seperate cpus, and the one on cpu0 has been going without error for 36 hours now. the one using only cpu1 wont run for longer than about 6 hours before it gives a ...

I've got the same power on problem, sometimes it just doesnt post and i have to hit the power button again. everything spins up but the bios just doesnt start. Its not a huge deal, but it can be a pita some times.

edit: just remembered it wanted to do this way more at 66mhz than it does at 93

so far it's been stable without that third ram shtick. its been running since nov 30, 5 days ago. i think thats a new record. somehow in that time, the system idle proces has used 160 hours of cpu time... must be counting for each one. anyway, its an improvement so im happy so far. :D of course by p...

I know someone who can replace caps, so i'll see what he would charge. Should some of the caps be replaced with bigger ones? or is a straight replacement ok.

it's a long read, still trying to figure out instability well, its an update! I've been using the same bp6 for w while now, and have narrowed the problem down somewhat... though i dont know what it means. I'm sure the temperture of everything is ok, and now i can cause an error every time. Im also p...

you guessed right, its a 7200, and i've got a fan under it now. with the fan it dropped 10c both under load and idle. at idle its 2c above room temp instead of 12. the highest it gets now is 27 while defragging, and it used to get near 40c.

where's that damn degrees symbol? useless kayboard

i know about overclocking old hard drives, i killed the data on an old 4gig by running it a few mhz over. now i have a fairly new 80gb, so it shouldnt be a problem. but i do backup data once in a while.

the 15 hours is fine with me, its when i was getting read from disk errors i was concerned. i think its the hd, and the cpus are just as stable at 558 as 400. I'll do something to keep the hd cooler, but i think i'll overclock it again. I guess the problem was just the hd getting hot, so it could be...
