i assume you mean using the bios and adjusting the option FSB speed to achieve this am i correct? but if that is the case that is one of the options greyed out in the bios if you wish i can post another screenshot detailing what i can and can't do ?

thank you for your help so far

Please do not repost your snapshot of those details.

The only other suggestion I can offer is to flush your BIOS and reload a fresh BIOS. If you decide to do that, I recommend you take your computer into a good computer shop to have it done. Because, if you do not do it correctly, your computer will not work.

Good Luck...

unfortunatly i have already done that to no affect bu**er maybe i should concead defeat or is it possible to flush the bios and then replace it with a bios other than one my manufacturer gives me as asus bios's dont apear to work for reasons stated previously

thank you for you time it's much apreciated

Have you considered using a program that will O/C your processor with software rather than your BIOS settings?? One of my computers has a limited FSB adjustment range so I use ClockGen to overcome it's limitation. It won't work on/with every motherboard, but might be worth a shot in your case.
