  2. Ah, yes. Another trip in the wayback machine. I remember writing a cute little bat file that would echo a screen relating different keystrokes to different apps in DOS. "Please hit "W" for windows, "D" for DOSshell, "P" for prodigy etc. Those were the days my friend. We thought they'd never end.

    http://www.arcticsilver.com/amd_app…
    You (or someone) probably installed the heat sink with too much or too little thermal compound or it is not torqued down evenly. Any disturbing of the heat sink means that you need to completely remove, clean both surfaces, and reinstall it.

    If this does not help (it should), you are running too much voltage to your CPU and need to back off on it. One method of increasing stability during overclocking is to increase the voltage a little bit, but this comes at the ‘price’ of additional heat. whether this was done for overclocking or accidentally in the BIOS, it needs to be corrected.

    You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

  4. Try 1.3 vcore @ 45 multiplier for 4.5 ghzThen do a stress test, i prefer intel burn test (30 loops)If no problems arise you can keep increasing the multiplier in steps of 1You should be aiming for a max temp of 85 or lower & dont go over 1.4 vcore for haswellP.S. You may want to set LLC to 5 orRead more

    You should be aiming for a max temp of 85 or lower & dont go over 1.4 vcore for haswell

    P.S. You may want to set LLC to 5 or higher for stability
    P.P.S Here is a Haswell overclocking guide:

  5. You're running the RAM at the wrong speed. The optimal CPU:DRAM ratio for an 800MHz FSB P4 system is 3:4. With the CPU frequency at it's default of 200MHz, the RAM should be run at 266MHz...in other words, DDR2-533.

    You’re running the RAM at the wrong speed. The optimal CPU:DRAM ratio for an 800MHz FSB P4 system is 3:4.

    “The board doesn`t have neither memory divider options”

    If the board supports supports AI Overclocking, do NOT use it, set it to Manual. Set the DRAM frequency to 533MHz, do NOT use ‘auto’. And as always, make sure SpeedStep & Spread Spectrum are disabled.

  6. The Pentium 4 is a single core CPU, but you may have a CPU that supports HyperThreading. That would make it appear as a dual (one real, one virtual) to the OS, even though it's single core.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-...

  7. If you haven't already done so, update to the latest BIOS version (7B98v18) while the 8700 is installed. After verifying the update was successful, try swapping CPUs again.https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/sup...

    AMD processors use the ‘middle dot’ method. Look here for details:
    http://www.arcticsilver.com/amd_app…
    Clean both surfaces with a quality rubbing alcohol (high % Isopropel content) and use a ‘grain of rice’ size dot of compound at the center of your CPU, but follow the direction on the link to be more clear. Too much is as bad or possibly worse than slightly not enough.

    Your fan arrangement is not correct. You should have a rear exhaust fan (out) as mandatory. If you have a bottom power supply in your case you have the option of one or two top fans, if used these need to also be exhaust to remove the heat. This should be more than enough but if you like a front fan (low in the front) can be used to blow air directly onto hard drives and graphics card(s) without causing problems. You want the air to FLOW smoothly THROUGH your case from low in the front and up through all of your components and out high in the back. Side fans disrupt this flow so they reduce the overall cooling efficiency. Most people use side fans to blow into the case, but either direction is bad since it breaks up this flow and makes ‘dead’ spots or ‘eddies’ in the flow.

    Cleaning should be done with a can of Dust Off or similar compressed gas. You should not remove the heat sink unless you need to remove the CPU or fix an issue with the heat sink. Vacuuming is NOT safe since normal metal and plastic vacuum hoses can carry a static charge which is dangerous to your critical components and the hose itself can be dangerous to wires and components as you bump into them or suck them outwards.

    You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

  10. Check to see how much free space there is on the OS partition (usually C:\). Low disk space is usually the cause of this message.
