burner 2x working now :)

[EVOEvo]

i did a pc formatt and now my tobishia dvd burner seems to be burning at 2x with no problems all the backups work good now i dont know what the problem was maybe some bad software but i been buring at 2x and every thing seems to work fine now :) and also one other problem i have when i do a reformatt i can up my cpu speed in the bois its a 1.37 gig cpu but when u put it to 1.3 windows will not install on it from disk it just locks up so i lower back to 1.1 gig then it works i also tryed change aftr windows installed but it makes a error and wont let it load i dont understaned why its doing this it work fine about a month ago it just started the last 2 formatts i did any here know what could be causeing this

what processor do u have,whats it normal speed

basically u going into overclocking
clock to fast and yes your pc wiill keep crashing
clock even faster yes it wont even boot (if u turn it off quickly then it still wont boot,if u leave it for a while normally the bios will defualt itselt on next boot,sometimes u get stuck as the bios doesnt default,your have to reset cmos then(look in mobo manual)

main factors to overclocking failures are heat,are yuor fans in good nick

also often the vcore voltage will have to be raised to overclock,ps more chance of damage to cpu u need good cooling

if it ran before on a certain speed it should run it now
if bios was reset as it must to be the incorrect 1ghz then the vcore voltage would have been defaulted as well

ps how are u increaing the clock speed by the fsb or by the multiplier
maybe u need to use opposite one to what u been using


what cpu have u got athlon1600xp? what fsb does it run

if its a 1600xp 266fsb then u want 10(multiplier) x 133(fsb) x2 gives u 266fsb = 1.33ghz
or u could try 13 x 100(fsbx2=200) = 1.30ghz

what motherboard do u have what fsb is it rated at
what memory have u got fsb of the cpu affects the memory(depending on bios setting)if memory is running to fast it will crash same as cpu ie slightly to fast will boot but crash later,even faster pc wont boot

without knowing your pc specs its hard to say

try 13x100 it cut out most of the possibilities of something in system only beiing 200fsb (as long as your mobo lets u acess the high multipliers13x and above) if not 12.5 x100 will give u 1.25ghz
