Overclocking Problem
I've been trying to overclock my P233MMX to P266. Everything is fine when I boot up. The bios screen pops up, but when it loads win95, win95 says "Windows Protection Error. Please restart your computer." or something like that. When I boot up DOS, and try to enter commands, pops up an error about general protection failure, does anyone know what's wrong?
Mongo,
Are you changing your Multiplier or Bus-speed? If it is the multiplier, i suggest sticking with the Bus-speed only. Tell us more.

Um.. my current configuration is 66x3.5, and I want to be 75x3.5. Yes my processor is an intel chip, my motherboard is a matsonic.
Mongo,
You are trying to run your board at a higher Bus Speed and it doesn't like it. You could play with your ram timings in the Motherboard and see if that solves your problems. However, it sounds like your board doesn't like the higher bus speed with the pentium. My MOBO is overclockable to 75 bus-speed but i can't use it because the system becomes too unstable. Instead, i opted for a 68 bus-speed and it performs well.

What is your configuration? - I assume the P233MMX is an intel chip, what kind of motherboard do you have?.
