I'm currently overclocking my processor and following an article in *****.net. According to the article i could overclock my processor, a AMd64 3000+ Venice by a whole ghz if i'm at 1.8ghz, and i wouldn't need to change the fan or anything like that.
The result however has been a little different. I've managed to raise the external clock to 230mhz without it fussing, bringing the clock to 2072.7mhz. However on attempting to raise to 250mhz, Windows refuses to run. On attempting to raise to 300mhz, the highest ***** got to, the computer refused to run and i was forced to reduce it.
I don't know whether it's just a fault of my RAM, or something else. Help would be greatly appreciated.
My hardware in full is this:

God knows i probably shouldn't be doing this, since it's my first overclock. But i wanted to try it.
