I just changed my mobo to an Asus P4V800D-X and its running a 3Ghz P4 478S. In the bios there are options to auto overclock 5%, 10%, 20% and 30%

Set to 5% the system is stable but when set to 10% it boots up to the message/post screen but wont boot windows, Any Ideas? could it be my ram i have 256mb Kingston and 512mb crucial running on each channel to give a system total 1.5GB.

Also the manual that came with the mobo is crap it doesnt explain the bios features very well i hope someone can shed some light on what i should be looking to change.
 
Oh yes, now running the 3Ghz P4 at 3.75Ghz and it seems to be quake 4 stable but it finds errors on Prime 95. load temp 65c

the ram is ddr400 pc3200

any ideas what to do?

i have already locked AGP/PCI to 66.6/33.3, disabled spread spectrum, the RAM timmings are still on auto but have set the RAM frequency to 266Mhz instead of 400Mhz.

I have benchmarked after every change and i have noticed a little drop in the ram benchmark but its allowed me to clock the P4 to 3.75Ghz

this is my first overclock so i'm still not realy sure what i'm doing, i have read through every intel overclocking guide i could find, but i could still do with some advice from someone with the same or similar mobo :D

GAMEfreak any more advice on this mobo? what cpu & RAM do you have & what sort results did you get?
