    hi
    i freshly installed vista on my notebook.
    i wrote down the rmclock values from my previous vista(i tested that and was running good) and applied the same values to new OS. i was playing game and suddenly BLUE SCREEN!!!
    did the rmclock caused the problem??
    does the previous values wont work for new installation??

    thanks.

    The higher the temps, the higher the voltage is required. If your computer is sunning warmer than before, say, being used on a bed or vents are being blocked, the voltage set in RMClock will have to be higher.

    Of course, it could be other things as well..

    Do a stress test with orthos on a flat hard surface at the max multiplier (or whatever the one your cpu was on while gaming) and you will see if it is rmclock. Do it a little longer than how long you gamed. Maybe you were just one slot above your critical value FID in your old vista and it just happened now that it tipped over while gaming.
