How do you tell if your motherboard is about to die?
Wednesday, April 20, 2005 by kona0197 | Discussion: Personal Computing
I have a small problem. Every so often while booting my machine I get a blue screen of death and then the system reboots. It happens so fast I can't read what the error is. I changed a few things in my BIOS and it would finally boot. Actually the only thing I changed was the memory timing resulting in OC my RAM. Guess I will have to fix that. So how do you find out if your mobo is dying? I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP2 (Yes I'm using SP2 finally) and I have 512 megs of DDR RAM.

No worries everyone. I'm not a "OC" kind of guy. Everything is now running smooth and nothing is OC.

Cool your system enough and you won't have to overclock

Something wrong with your statement there weaksid. I know if I wanted to OC I would need to setup more ways to cool my system but why would I need to OC if my system is not cool enough?
