wtf, Never came across this OC problem?

[jack22]

OK. I was OC my cpu last night and i got it to 4GHz. The cpu:ram is 250/200 since i have pc3200. It loads up but when it goes to recognize my HDD's, it cant find my 2 SATA ones. Now i went back to 3.2 and it found them. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Please help since i want to see if it is stable at 4GHz.

my pc does the same when i overclock to high, just not stable i guess

No, it cant be that.

It is stability, and I have the same problem. Basically, the reason is is that the overclock makes the FSB too high and the RAM access skips steps to make up for it. OC to 3.6GHz or something, and you should be good, and remember to take your RAM settings and make tham a bit more loose (ex. 2.5-3-3-6 etc...)
