"TI9 glitch" forcing lockups in XP

Had a situation where TI9 would lock the computer up at some random point during the disk imaging process. I tried disabling various apps to see if I could narrow the problem down, but with no success. Frustrating.

However, good news. On a whim I turned off the overclocking in the bios and yippee. Problem gone! So I'm now looking to replace a couple of RAM sticks with a more robust pair to see if I can't have my cake and eat it too, so to speak.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else had been suffering from random lockups.

Cheers, and g'day to all.

Hi Kiwi52,

Glad you managed to get it sorted. Image corruption due to overclocking, timing errors or faulty RAM is not an uncommon problem, as hinted in this <previous post> of mine. If you haven't already done so, download a copy of Memtest86+ from the link I provided. It'll come in handy for any future overclocking experiments you may be considering .

Regards

 

I wonder how many other 'problems' are caused by PCs being overclocked and not correctly configured?
