Default Apparently my computer... <geeks enter>

doesn't like doing anything other than turning on and performing that operation marginally.

I tried to overclock my processor...nope. I tried to get the BIOS to emulate the USB thumb drive as a floppy on start-up...to flash new BIOS....nope. And just 3 hours ago I bought the wrong kind of RAM for the computer


Damn this thing.

Why did you try to overclock it if it wasn't working properly?

Are you reading? I can't get the BIOS to correctly emulate my USB drive as a floppy...which contains the flashing shit.

Anyway, I finally managed to do the overclock. I took the CPU clock from 200 to 205 thus upping the 2.60GHz to 2.67GHz. According to Intel, the processor has a max rating of 3.6GHz...what to do (safely)?
