Not very helpful I'm afraid. We need to know what the motherboard model is.

Download CPU-Z and report back with what it says under the 'mainboard' tab

What's the exact make of your RAM?

From the sounds of it as well you would really benefit from reading the overclocking sticky too at the top of the page

I'm assuming you have a dell or hp, emachines etc. If you bought a pc from a place like this you cannot OC. They are too junk of motherboards, psu's are terrible and the hsf would not allow it even if you could.

They simply are not going to sell a product that by tweaking you could f-up and then turn around and blame them for it.
