Hi
Not really done any overclocking before and from what i've read you should first increase the FSB of the motherboard through the bios.
the processor is an amd athlon 6400+ @3.2Ghz, starts with a FSB of 200 and multiplier of 16. as soon as i try up the FSB a little bit it fails orphos stress tess and prime95.
the computer boots and seems to run fine( not gaming) at 3.57Ghz but i really need it stable.
CPU: Amd athlon 6400+ BE
RAM: 2x1GB Corsir XMS2 5400
Motherboard: Asrock Alive SATA 2GLAN (sucks)

just need to know what setting i could try changing.

I have it running at 3.4Ghz right now and was just playing Race Driver GRID perfectly fine, but i tried running orphos and got:

Type: Small FFTs - stress CPU Min: 8 Max: 64 InPlace: Yes Mem: 8 Time: 15
CPU: 3393MHz FSB: 200MHz [212MHz x 16.0 est.]
