I can overclock my amd cpu from 1800+ > 2200+ at 133mhz, but i can't go further to 166mhz which is to 2800+. Every time i set 166mhz bus frequence and it runs normal when i turn on computer and that display its 2800+, then loading the window xp startup screen and suddenly the blue screen has shown on my monitor and its said somthing error... i don't know what the problem is...can anyone tell me?
System Specification
XFXFORCE NF24-ALH Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (Currently using 2200+)
RAM 768MB DDR 2700
GeForce FX5200 128 Graphic Card

A few more details needed.
Multi setting
Is your 1800+ a t'bred or palamino?You need to reset the bios/cmos.
Remove the battery or set the jumpers(not sure with your board).Is your cooling up to the job?
Tt Lanfire
nf7-s v2.0
XP-m 2500@209x11
SP 97

Jou Jye 550w psu
FX5600
WDCaviar 160gb sata;~}

The multiplier on my 1800+ is unlocked...I'm guessing that your's is too.
Don't try for max CPU speed, shoot for max stable FSB. FSB is where the performance is. I have my 1800+ at 1680mhz (8 x 210mhz)...that's roughly the same clock speed as a 2000+, but 210 vs 133 FSB is a significant difference.
Your PC2700 is gonna hold you back, so chances are you won't be able to hit 200mhz FSB...but here are a few suggestions to get ya going. It's all trial & error. Be aware that you may have to raise the CPU voltage (vcore) to allow your system to run stable:
10.0 x 166 = 1667mhz (2000+)
9.5 x 175 = 1662.5mhz (2000+)9.5 x 180 = 1710mhz (2100+?)
10.5 x 166 = 1750mhz (2100+)
10.0 x 175 = 1750mhz (2100+)11.0 x 166 = 1833mhz (2200+)
10.0 x 180 = 1800mhz (2200+)This will give you an idea of how I attacked my overclock:

Asus A7N8X-X
1800+ @8x210mhz
512mb PC3200
Ti4200/8X 128mb
WDC 60GB

your pc2700 ram is definatly holding you back.
I run my Tbred "A" 1800+ at 11.0 X 166MHz . I use 1.6 VCORE and generic pc2700 ram. I also water cool to keep the temps down to 40 degrees idle, 50 full load (on die thermister temp)
