I've been running a P3-750@1Gig for a few months with no problems. But over the last few weeks it's been locking up like crazy so I've had to back it down to around 900. This is at 1.85v. I thought maybe the RAM was causing a problem, so I took it down to 1 stick of 128MB Tiny BGA PC133 set to 3-3-3. I had it on a Soyo 6BA+IV but now it's in a MSI 6163Pro. Nothing I've done will make it stable for some reason. I mean it was running fine all that time then just stopped. Anyway, I bumped the voltage to 1.9v tonight and can actually play a game of Counter Strike.

What I need to know is if this voltage is just too high for this cpu? It's a Slot1 also, if that matters.

Thanks

I let my 1ghz (a 750e pre tested by intel) run at 2.0v when I tried oc'n it, and it was fine.
