Hello once again.
I have joined this community in search of help, for I'm unable to Overclock my PC at all. what ever i do my OS wont boot-up (Win7 64bit)
so here are my PC spec:
MB: MSI P45-8D memory Lover Model No. MS-7532
CPU Intel Core2Quad Q8200 2.33Ghz
( I would Like to pull at least 2.5Ghz from it tho I'we seen people pushing it to 2.8 or even 3 Ghz.)
RAM: DDR-2 Kingstone HyperX 2x2Gb (KHX8500D2BK20)-B stands for Black Edition
(at the moment my RAM memory is working on 800Mhz while it's supposed to work at 1066Mhz , but my MB states 1066 (OC) I guess that means only overclocked... )
GPU: ATI HD6950 2Gb (has two BIOS on it one is changed "unlocks" the GPU to 6970 version- using that at the moment)
PSU: Chieftec 600w (CFT-600-14CS)
I have tried a lot of stuff pimping out the voltages up..example
default:FBS 7x 333
i changed:
CPU vcore:1.26v -> 1.3v
MCH:1.1v -> 1.26v
Vtt: 1.1v -> 1.4v
ICH(not sure if it was ICH or something like I/O) : to 1.6v (possible range 1.5v to 1.8v)
now i can change the FBS up to 340 and Windows boots ... but anything more then that windows doesn't boot ... I even went up to 400 FBS.. and manually changed my memory ticks to 5-5-5-15 2.2v and the memory Frequency went up to 1066Mhz... PC boots normally , but instead getting a normal Windows loading screen ... I get a gray old looking loader..with "Loading Windows Files" text above it . and when it finishes the PC restarts and i get the same thing over and over again
I found a thread here that made me register and post this one ( https://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/ddr2-ddr3-combo-mb-msi-p45-8d-memory-lover-performance-test-t3717900.html ) he had tested the same MB and CPU and boosted it quite up so mine is confusing the hell out of me ^^
Please Help me to get this old friend of mine overclocked because he and me still want to be together
If you need any more info please ask
oh one more thing i notice options:
^ I think I missed some options .. that are not enabling me to OC my Machine.
In Advance Thanks to everyone who give's me Help, and share there knowledge

oh one more thing i notice options:
- ClockGen Tuner
- Adjust PCI-E Frequency : auto (auto; 36 or 42).. not sure if those are the only options i'm supposed to have there... in most of the threads people are saying that that should be set to 100Mhz but i only have those two possible low values.
- Auto Disable DRAM/PCI Frequency : Enabled
^ I think I missed some options .. that are not enabling me to OC my Machine.
