XP and Vista don't play well together. Their drivers interfear with each other, which dosn't surprise me becase their very VERY similar systems. If you take vista and break it down to bare minimum you'll find XP. This also increases backwards compatiblity, I'ive been running game and applications on my Vista Ultimate 32bit machine that where intend for win 95 and 98.
Plain and simple it confuses the hell out of them.
So if you have your heart set on dual OS use hot swap drives I guess. | |  | |  | |
I've dual booted a laptops and and 3 PCs with XP & Vista without trouble. I've also never heard of dual-booting causing any problems. Not to discredit you, but that dual-booting could even remotely possibly cause problems is news to me.

its like it will be stable as hell. i mean running prime 95, ortho, and nvidias stability test, all at the same time as well as monitoring software.. but then even if i raise it just from 1110 to 1120. it seems not matter how much i raise my CPU 's voltage it wont be stable.
it would seem like once i hit that point just upping the voltage should atleast let me get a bit farther then i am now.
is there kinda like a feeling to it.. like not just upping the volts but using the right combination of volts to the fsb? i just can figure it out.. with the CPU i read i should be able to 3.0 with out much trouble.. and ive read about my memory being able to easily over clock above 800.
im not just looking for some one to just walk me thru it, but maybe help point me into the right direction to help me find the next steps.
i can also post any info or anyhting you might, need just let me know
this is just driving me nuts, id really like to hit 3.0 or atleast 2.8. SO please any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated. | | | | | | |
Tbh, if you've upped all voltages and turned off all the relative usual crap like throttling and spread spectrums and you're STILL having problems, I'd suggest either your
CPU is just a
really bad clocker, or your board has a big
FSB hole, or is just crappy.
