Hey OC forum!
I could really use some help on how to set this up, so far system is clocked to 225Mhz with a 14 multiplier, all voltages set to auto. I have an awful AMIBIOS and its a pain in the neck to get my head around. Any advise is helpful!

maximum built in OC is 10%, which is 220Mhz, I have managed 225, but after that the PC restarts on stress tests using Prime95, so is auto voltages using too much power for the PSU? I do intend to upgrade it when I can, but for now I just need to work around it.
 
i'll pull the brand for the PSU when i can, but its bad and only rated at 400w i believe. i use the stock cooler for the processor, which from what i hear can actually be quite good
 
okay

as i said, its the annoying AMIBIOS, so i'm not entirely sure on what settings are the FSB, is it just the base clock?

this is a photo i pulled from google, its not the right page, but this is the BIOS i use
 
ah i see
my reference clock atm is 225hz, using a multiplier of 14. so do you suggest i drop the multiplier and work on the ref clock? and as for mem clock, do i drop a frequency level down, say to 533mhz, and work on the FSB clock so i don't go over 1600? i'm using 2x8gb on 1600mhz so i guess its a 800mhz base frequency for each stick?
 
what voltage should i set for it to begin with? it should be capable at 1.4, is that safe to start? and increase ref clk until bsod, then raise voltage?
