    E8500 Overclock Won't work

    I am trying to overclock my E8500 but it won't work. It boots fine from the overclock it's after that I encounter the problem.

    It kept crashing and getting blue screens when it was around 3.5GHz. Thought that was pretty odd considering I was still at 32C load and 1.25v. RAM is at a low speed too. Went back into Windows.My hard drive is not getting Detected.

    I tried to Put another Harddrive with clock back to stock no blue screens or harddrive problems.the drive is detected everytime. As soon as I try to up it again, the drive fails to be detected.


    Can anyone help me out with this issue.

    It seems that Vcore a bit lowand it's at 1.25v.By the way are you using Vcore or DDR?

    I just tried messing with my DRAM freq, and it wouldn't load the OS. Maybe it's along those lines. Went from 800 to 1067, IIRC.Running 1066 ram.

    I've tried setting all voltages at different settings and i have seen 1.25v is fine for 3.5GHz with an E8500.Thanks for your Help.
