Hello guys, I'm new in this community, so Hello to you all.
I have a problem, which I hoped you will help me to solve.

I recantly bought mb - asus p5p41c, was trying to oc my e8400, but even if I want to get 3.2ghz, but after restart there's only black screen. I know it's a p41 chipset, and it's not for overclocking, but with my last g31 chipset I was able to get 3.6ghz. So kinda hoped, to get with this one too, or a little bit higher.
The bios version is 0502, strange thing is that I can find any information about this bios, and on asus support site it's not available.

Here's screen from bios.

I thought that maybe downgrading bios will help, but ez flash wont allow it. And for some reason afudos and awdflash doesnt make any response to changing it to older 0402 version.

So, I hope that you can help me.
 
That was kinda nice, that they released new bios version today. Updated it. For some reason I start to think, that I dont know **** about overclocking. In this bios, ram frequency automaticly jumps 2x fsb, in old one there was just 400,667 and 800.

Anyway, cpu frequency 400, dram frequency 800, vcore voltage +150mv and memory voltage 2.0000 didnt work.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong ? Here's some specifics:

Cpu frequency no 200-800
Ram frequency no 2xfsb-1100
PCI express frequency no 90-150
Memory voltage max - 2.4450V
NB voltage max - 1.51875V
VTT voltage max - 1.59375V
SB 1.5V voltage - [1.5V] [1.6V]
CPU vcore from +50mv to +150mv
Auto PSI [enabled][disabled]

I have DDR2 800mhz ram.
