Cant overclock my new set up with dual core Athlon. Not even 1mhz

[thomasj]

I just got a new AMD Athlon 4600+ x2 and was hoping to get some pretty good numbers out of it. If I over clock by just 1MHz I get a screen at start up that says " Warning system running in safe mode please re-setting cpu Frequency in CMOS set up" or something like that. It says press F1 to continue, delete to enter set up. If I hit F1 I can start windows with no problems but when I check the CPU it is running at 2411MHz. So my changes are not being applied. I have never had this problem before. How do I get around this or what do I need to change?

All I did was swap out a sempron 3400+ 1.8G for a Athlon 4600+ 2.4G. Before the swap I did reset the factory settings in the bios.

I had my Sempron 1.8 running at 2.43G problem free and never passed 33*C.

I must be missing something simple. I hope
