Ok yet anither issue. With the weather being as cold as it is I've been pushing my clock speed on my cpu and memory. My computer will boot up at 2.6 ghz (12.5x215) but after the first windows screen a blue screen pops up and says my BIOS isn't ASPI (I think thats what it was) compliant and a bunch of other junk. Why would it stop me? Now it only does this if I push it higher than 2.4 ghz. Do I need to flash my BIOS?
 
XP looks closer at the Hardware and may crash if you overclock the memory too much or stress out the motherboard. Sometimes DDR400 gives it fits.
