I'm currently encountering some problems overclocking my 939 Athlon 3000+.
Firstly I'm using:
Sapphire Pure Advantage Mobo: PC-A9RD580Adv
AMD Athlon64 3000+ (Winchester core) w/Artic freezer pro
Sapphire ATI X1800XT 256mb w/Artic Cooling Accelero X2 (dual screen setup)
2x512mb PC3200 DDR Ram (Just cheap stuff)
1x 80GB Seagate (8mb cache) Sata Drive
1x160GB Maxtor (16mb cache) Sata Drive
2x NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A
Tangan 480watt PSU
I've had my system running stable with the following overclock and it's been tested crunching prime numbers for over 8hours with no problems at all.
However I didn't notice that when I turn the PC off it would refuse to boot up unless you press the start button followed by the reset button. I tend to leave my PC on 24/7 with occasional resets so I didn't notice this for a while.
Anyway after reseting my bios back to defaults and testing if my PC will properly boot after each individual incremental increase I've found I'm fine until I try to go over a 220mhz FSB: (see image in link for all stats)

Any one have any idea why this is happening?
Do I require a better PSU? (I want a modular one sometime soon mind)
Also I'm baffled as to why when ever I try to increase my CPU voltage the multiplier resets itself to x4 even if i manually set it to x9.
Any help would be much appreciated.
