    That may well indicate that you have gone just past your maximum possible overclock! Lower the settings slightly until you have a stable system with no errors.

    Normally read/write errors are due to the FSB bus being too high - just try lowering it a notch or two.

    I can only manage 147MHz fsb with my KT7a-r, above that and I get data corruption.

    I could probably push my 1.4 past 148 FSB, but It wont post, I may once try it with out the NIC and second and third vid cards, it might help me to 150 or more. on second thought it could be my cheap ram.
