I have an Abit AB-BH6 motherboard with a celeron 366 chip and 196 ram. I overclocked it to 456 by chanaging the multplier to 8X and changed nothing else in bios. The after about a week everything starting going haywire. Fatal errors, antivirus wouldn't run

The multiplier on the Celeron 366 was locked at 5.5

The only way to overclock it is to increase the FSB setting. The Abit BH-6 was not the best for pushing the FSB up near 133 MHz. I could never get mine above 112 MHz and it remain stable.

For some reason, when I try to overclock my CPU via FSB, the BIOS keeps giving me a msg to check my settings. After that, it would run at it's default setting (3x66), even though my CPU is a PII-450 (intel retail CPU), a 4x100 CPU. What gives?

Why do they even tempt us with FSB of 83, 75, and 112 if they wont even let us use it?
