I really need help with this one.
I decided to overclock recently, but am running into some problems.
I currently have a C2D E8400 with Stock Cooling
ASRock P45XE - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157143
G.Skill 4GB DDR2 1066
I can safely overclock my CPU to 3.2Ghz, and my DRAM Frequency is at 593Mhz which I think is DDR2 1183 or something.
Unfortunately, whenever I seem to overclock higher than 3.2Ghz (356Mhz), I get a whole mess of problems.
Here are some pictures of my BIOS screens (The Second picture down on the left is the Overclock Settings)

Whenever I change my CPU Frequency anywhere from 360Mhz (3.25Ghz) to 380Mhz(3.4Ghz), it restarts fine, but Windows never loads properly, I always get BSOD's.
Also, whenever I am changing the CPU Frequency, I either adjust the FSB Strap and change the DRAM Frequency to DDR2 1066 or lower, or I keep it on Auto. Either way, I still get problems.
And whenever I change my CPU Frequency to anything Higher than 380Mhz, my computer turns on, but my monitor doesn't display anything. It ceases from getting signal.
I have tried to change my voltage to 1.175, and that still didn't work, and I have kept it on Auto, and that still doesn't work.
Is there something wrong with my motherboard? Can my motherboard simply NOT overclock that high? [Supposedly has a High FSB (2000 O.C.)]
Am I doing it all wrong? (This is the most likely answer)
Any details on how to overclock would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
