is this from overclocking?

i HAD my computer over clocked by varying the FSB.now my Ethernet card isn't working could have the PCI speed raised cause that?

is this from overclocking?

It could, although I don't think FSB speed is coupled to the PCI bus speed. I believe the PCI bus other runs at 100mhz. When you overclocked, it may cause the messages sent along PCI to gain dropped and ignored on cycles where on earth the FSB and PCI don't match.



For example, a 400mhz FSB will allow the PCI bus through once every 4 cycles, overclocking to read aloud 533 may cause it to miss some cycles.



I don't recomend overclocking, buy yourself a nice processor next to lots of cache memory (like a P4).
ask a proffesional
