    HELP! Can't overclock correctly - cannot set freq 16000[32000] to ep 0x86

    I am trying to get a stable overclock on my processor and if it's not set to exactly 3.2GHz or 2.66GHz (stock clock) I get this message. Using sysinfo, the OS does not register over 3.2GHz even when I have it clocked @ > 3.2

    All the google searches and bug reports seem to talk about sound problems and webcam issues being the cause, but I've had this problem since I switched to Ubuntu and have not yet found a resolution.

    Specs in sig.

    fixed. It's related to my webcam...but adding the line

    'acpi=off apm power_off=1' to etc/default/grub in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" line fixed my problem after a year of banging my head


    so the my line reads as such

    Code:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=off apm power_off=1 quiet splash"

    if you want your cpu, MB & ram hotter with full noisy fans, why not drop them in a 250° C oven
