Any help will be most appreciated

I assume your CPU is the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+?
First, download Prime95 and Real Temp.
Then, in the BIOS, find the FSB. Raise that by 10 then boot into Windows, and run Prime95 on Small FFT for about 15 mins, with Real Temp, measuring your CPU temps. If it passes, then go back into the BIOS and continue the same process, until Prime95 crashes. When it crashes, go back to the last stable speed.
With the 6400+, you might be able to reach 3.5ghz max if you're lucky.
