I upgraded my processor to a amd 2400 xp , amd told me to set my bios cpu speed to 2000 mhz. Its worked for a couple of weeks fine but tonight I restarted my computer and the mother board told me start up failed cpu over clocked. I set it at 1500 mhz ,now its fine what would cause that to happen? Also that processor set at 1500 mhz which would be underclocked would it hurt it.

What processor is your motherboard rated for? Also cooling down the chip with a couple extra fans will let you overclock.<a href="http://www.swoit.com/_29002524e5056a89a35492ee5bbfaae3/1"><img src="http://www.swoit.com/_29002524e5056a89aab68e286ae87b30/1" border="0" width="120" height="60"></img></a> -
My motherboard is a asus a7v333 it is rated for the chip. At 2000 mhz the cpu wasnt overclocked, that was what it was supposed to be at. It worked fine for 2 weeks.Comment

Don't know then. I assume you have a fan or two cooling things down?<a href="http://www.swoit.com/_29002524e5056a89a35492ee5bbfaae3/1"><img src="http://www.swoit.com/_29002524e5056a89aab68e286ae87b30/1" border="0" width="120" height="60"></img></a>Comment

Sounds like too much heat..... It may be just that the temp in your office is higher or maybe a fan is not working as well as it was.Originally posted by tony404

Try another fan if you have room....
The only other thing could be you have played with the bios, updated it maybe?Comment

I didnt touch the bios ,I downloaded trojan hunter software but I doubt that it anything. A cpu that is supposed to at 2000 mhz and is now at 1500 mhz underclocked will that hurt it . With asus I can check the cpu and mb temp and they are both running very cool.Comment
