is your PC a brand-name unit like Dell? If it is, you can't really, unless you see an FSB setting.

Yeah your BIOS is probably locked to prevent overclocking. Most pre-made PCs like those are, to prevent extra warranty returns...

it probably is locked, because when i go to the BIOS, it only states the FSB speed and voltage, but i cant change it
so i guess this means there is no way to overclock it?

you could try clockgen but you will only get limited results because of your bios settings

@marsey99, Mind if I jump in, While following the guide on Clockgen, I put in the correct chipset and ticked the IGNORE GSB/PCI then pressed READ CLOCKS as described...almost instantly the monitor shut off while the pc appeared to still be going. So after about 30/45secs I shut down and rebooted, all seems well, did I do something wrong? was it really supposed to what I described? or was I a little too impatient, and perhaps shut down unnecessarily?
Cheers.

that is exactly what happened to me. the screen went blank but the light was still green (on) i reset the computer and everything was the same as before.
were we like supposed to wait a little longer for the change to take affect? As it says on the web site, the change seems to be almost instant.

Ok, now I'm getting panicky...LOL
I simply followed the same directions as yourself and presto, that's what I got. I'll do a reboot later and see what happens. Can't wait for an answer on this one! :)
Cheers.

I'm almost certain of the selection. ICS 952607 is what's in the PLL Setup box at the moment. This should correspond to an ICS 865PE-A chipset. If you disagree, please correct me.
Cheers.

The model according to the manual is 865PE-A, but here's a screen shot using CPUZ, if you need more info.

All appologies, I've stuffed up big time, no wonder I confused you.

It's an ECS (not ICS) Elitegroup mobo (see sig).

You probably kicked up the AGP bus too much when you raised the FSB. Unless you can lock it at 66/33 it may give you problems. See if it offers you the option in the set-up. On-board video almost always gives this type of problem. My AGP X800GTO will not work above about 3.3 unless I lock the AGP/PCI buss at 66.66/33.33! It should be listed as AGP/PCI Frequency in the set-up, if it has one. If it does, it's probably set on auto. Just set it to 66.66/33.33. That should lock it!
Happy Computering,

Hi theonejrs, where do I go to check the frequency?

You're overclocking an ECS? Good luck! You may need it....

@sammorris, There's that deja vu thing, I remember that you said that to me some time ago, oh crap! I'd forgotten all about it. Well, I've still got an old P3 to keep me going if the ECS won't. Fingers crossed.
Cheers.

Yeah, by all means give it a shot, but don't expect any major increases, and don't overdo the voltages. In fact, if I were you to be safe, leave the voltages alone.
