There a four maior causes and four totally different solutions: 1) your powersupply is too small for the additional needs of a higher clock rate. 2) the heatsink on the SiS735 is clued to the chip with a pad. This pad isolates the chip almost completly from the heatsink. Removing the heatsink and everything of the pad and put it back with good paste and some superglue resolved the stability problems of a lot of people. Look at OCworkbench, they have a whole FAQ about stability issues 3) the board don't likes your ram 4) the heatsink of your CPU is inadequat or the contact between CPU and heatsink is faulty. I suffered from poits 1,2 and 4... the manufacturer said, the heatsink would be ok.. but it wasn't.... Gl�ck Auf Volker -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
