HD Dection Problem w/Overclocking

Hi All,

I have an IC7-MAX3 with a 3.0 Northwood P4 and two Maxtor SATA HD's. I
wanted to try some mild overclocking by increasing the clock speed. The
problem is that at any speed over the 3.0 the bios does not detect the HD's
and gives me a boot error. As soon as I lower it back to 3.0 everything
boots normally. Should I be changing some other settings as well and/or am
I overlooking something.

Thanks, David

Yes, set "AGP Ratio" to "Fixed" in Softmenu and all will be well. Now
go play with your CPU clock speed. Just make sure that the "Fixed
AGP/PCI Frequency" setting stays at 66/33.

Thanks John, I'll give that a try and get back with the results.

lock the AGP and PCI busses at normal speed (66 and 33 respectively)

Thanks Tom, but John Lewis beat you to it. His advice was exactly the same
as yours. I appreciate the response.
