GPU OCing issue Q?

[Tim Burton]

I have an IP35 Pro with an MSI 8800 GTS 512MB OC. The computer has 8 Gigs of RAM and is running Vista Ultimate 64Bit.

I want to OC my CPU, but when I do my GPU crashes anytime I run a DX10 game. Is there anyway I can keep the GPU speed down and crank the CPU speed up? I haven't been able to hit the CPU's max, because the GPU crashes first everytime.

BIOS had a uGuru option and that is what I use to crank up the FSB, since the CPU is a Q9450 and is at the highest multiplier possible.

Rather strange that the GPU is bugging out, Check that the PCIe lock is enabled (should be set at 100Mhz). Are there reports of other people experiencing similar problems with your board?

Are you sure that it's actually the GPU and not say the memory or northbridge that don't like the high frequencies?

I'm not sure, but the only time it crashes is when DX10 games are played, such as Crysis, WiC and Fear 2 Demo.

Any way to check to see what caused the crash?

In the control panel, go to administrative tools, and check out the event viewer.

Crashes will be little red circles with crosses in, and warnings (which may also hold clues) in yellow triangles with exclamations.
