Ahhhh de pain de pain

This is killing me I am trying to over clock my second system and am just not having any luck. I have read about 40 or 50 articles all over the internet on the subject but still no advance. Had no problems with my mainstay she OC'ed just fine. Here the facts

Amd Duron 750
Ecs K7VTA3 mb
2x128 ddr pc2100
Award bios flashed with newest release
1.5 GB HDD
Leadtek Geforce II 32mb
mid tower 250W

What am i doing wrong tried the L1 pencil no difference. Bios old or new has no adjustable settings. The only CPU setting is on the mobo and it selects between 100mhz and 133mhz and I cant get her to boot @ 133mhz. Some one please help before this sys goes the way of the window.

Your mobo doesn't have a multiplier or voltage jumper? If not, then you have got an overclocker unfriendly motherboard....

Look out the window before you toss it to make sure that it doesn't hit anyone!

sorry ryogenetic, that's just how it is on those boards. it's a plug-n-play board ya see. far as i know, no bios update will change the memory timing.

All she has is a bios voltage jumper 5v or 3.3 that would really suck to know I was hoping to make this system an over achiever.

For me it was a cheap fast build - given that I was happy to get going in the end -
the next one will be researched before hand though

yeppers, you and i are on the same boat. that's why internet 24/7 is really important to me. i need to keep up with tech. and global prices.

at least you get your phones cheaper there.

Oh you can drop a pretty penny on those sense the 900mhz band is used by officials(police and emergency crews) also depends on what you want for features. Great now I cant even flash the bios. I am so close to sending this machine on a one way trip to the ground level with the primary motivation being my foot!!!!!!!
