Hi, I would to learn and how to overclock my cpu

spec

-hd 5450
- Intel core duo E7400 2.80ghz now clock to 3.5ghz and temp was down 60 and having (game crashes and pc goes to blue screen of death when gaming)

Thank you !

Yes, more than likely it's looks like it's a voltage problem, but your out of luck. Your motherboard will in no way allow you to add voltage to your CPU. You would have to change out the motherboard itself, which is a whole other story. I think it's best if you just stick with 3.3ghz, which I believe you mentioned was stable.

Crashing typically means your overclock is not stable. This occurs because when booting windows and running small tasks such as browsing the internet your cpu isn't being pushed. However in game play the cpu is often being ran harder causing it to crash. Did you change your vcore at all? If so what was it before and after? Did you stress test? What cooler are you using?

im using stock cooler with some dust and i dint put silicon paste . but im goin to buy it tomorrow. what is vcore? btw im going to buy some extra fans and going to clean up and put some silicon up. but why is always crashes and what is vcore?Did me stress test? nope.

I dont mean to come off as rude but you need to do a little more research before you overclock or you risk destroying your cpu. My recommendation is to undo the changes you made and watch a step by step youtube video on what to do.

New thermal paste and fans will only reduce temps, they wont make your overhead stable.

Vcore is the amount of power running to your cpu. For the most part if you want to overclock you must increase the vcore to make it stable, however be warned because increasing the vcore too much will increase cpu heat killing the chip slowly and increasing the vcore way to much will kill it instantly.

Please watch a video, you cant overclock without knowing what stress testing is.

I dont have the same cpu as you so I cant show you off "facebook". Just watch a youtube video or search google for a guide. Good luck.

Im not gonna do the work for you sorry, you gotta teach yourself and do the work yourself, or bring it to someone in your city to overclock for you and pay for it.

Did you follow a guide on how to overclock your processor or did you just use a program or your bios to overclock it? Overclocking never should be done with a stock cooler, also are you sure the stock cooler didnt already have thermal compound on it? They usually come with compound pre applied. Buy a cpu cooler, NEVER overclock that heavily with stock, stock isnt designed to handle any kind of overclock higher than maybe .1 Ghz . Vcore stands for voltage core, when you overclock you have to allow more voltage to your processor, it depends though, if youre using an auto overclocking utility in your bios i dont think you need to worry about it

I'm overclocking with bios.

 
You really should do some research online before "jumping" into the world of overclocking. If you don't learn the basics of how things are done/need adjusted you can become easily overwhelmed. If you start playing w/ voltages that you don't understand what you're doing, you can easily fry or at least partially damage components in your computer. You need to know what settings you should adjust with your particular motherboard/cpu combo. The settings change a little to a lot with each generation of INTEL/AMD Processors. Just some quick browsing will get your started. I could be more helpful with software and settings to use, but I would feel somewhat responsible if I gave you the quick & easy method and you ended up damaging your computer. Once you learn a bit on your own about what your getting into, come back here and I'm sure people would be willing to help.

in my bios i dont found vcore adjust place. my vcore was 1.240 at 3.5 clock i think the vcore to low?

here the pic of in bios and other..

yes that one! ratio dram . but why vcore adjust was not on my g41m p33 combo.. were is it??

 
You should download CPU-Z and run the program to see what your actual ram modules are rated at before adjusting settings further, then you can narrow down whether it's your cpu speed or your dram speed that could be affecting stability. This is where the dram ratios come into play later. Take pics if neccesary.
 
Did some more quick research and you may be somewhat out of luck. It so happens that your motherboard does NOT allow you to change the vcore. You can adjust the FSB speed which you've been doing to try to get to 3.5Ghz, but you cannot raise or lower the vcore voltage. FSB x Multiplier is how your CPU speed is derived. You can try to disable Intel EIST and C1E support as those will dynamically adjust your CPU speed based on load and adjust power savings, sleep states, ect. These options can affect overclocking stability when turned on. Without knowing right now what your ram speed is rated at for stock speeds, I can't say whether you need to adjust your FSB/DRAM ratio. If disabling EIST and C1E doesn't help, try lowering your setting "Adjust CPU Base Frequency" from 334 to 324. This would lower your speed to 3.4 Ghz instead of 3.5. This may be more stable since the voltage would be the same and you can't change that. For stability, try some gaming first and report back what happens.

I found it. it has
1:1.25
1:1.50
1:1.67
1:2.00
1:1.00
1:1.20

which one?

and I disabled the intel eist and I get 10.5
and disabled too the c1e .
 
You'll have to be running CPU-z in Windows to read the information. 10.5 is your CPU multiplier. What your listing is the actual dividers. But we need to know the speed of the sticks to pick the correct divider. Since we don't know for sure, try these ones to be safe. Also, did you try lowering your CPU base frequency from 334 to 324 yet?? Your screenshots above show it at 334. I would still try this first and check for stability. For the dividers, I would try 1:1.20. This would make your ram run at 800Mhz rather than 837.

i do what u say. and its stable.. but i wanted at 3.5 ghz.

here some pic of cpuz and the bios settings

I'm glad to hear you got things stable :) But what your asking may simply not be possible. You might need more voltage to get 3.5 stable which you cannot do. Your motherboard in your computer doesn't allow you to change the voltage at all. Since your not stable at 3.5 and you seem to be stable at 3.4, that might be as high as you can go. Only a few more things to try. Can you click on the SPD tab in the CPU-Z program and take a picture of that. That will tell us your actual rated ram speed. In the mean time, if you want you can try changing the 324 number a few higher and keep checking stability. Even though 3.5 isn't stable, 3.49 might be. In other words, instead of 324, try 326. If that is stable, try bumping up to 328. If that's stable try 330, ect. until it becomes unstable. Then we'll see where were at.

okay. here the cpuz at spd tab

i have only one ram btw. 2gb
