I already managed to OC my cpu with a 0.5Ghz on each core but i want more ( ofc ).

I did that in the BIOS but recently i found a software made by the motheboard's creators - there you can simply adjust the Bus Speed with no more adjusting the core voltage and all other things to make a balance between them ( as i had to do in the BIOS ). The current Bus Speed is 240 but i'd like to go further to a 255-260 but the main problem is that, as well as it does at the current 240, the computer locks up in the "Windows is loading" mode ( it stucks/freezes and all fans go crazy at max power ). It will start after 2-3-4 restarts ( restarts by plugging out the power cable cuz the power and restart buttons won't work ( maniac me ). So because of the restarts, it won't work - it has to full boot from 1st time, something that's impossible atm.

So do you know any way i can make the computer run from 1st time ?

Software used : FOX ONE

MoBo : Foxconn G31MX
 
The E5200 is the baby brother to my E5400 that a I clocked from 2.7Ghz to 3.6Ghz by increasing the FSB to 266 and voltage to 1.4v. Then slowly reduced the voltage until it was unstable and settle at 1.3v, this was done on a cheapo Gigabyte board.

I replaced the stock cooler, with Coolermaster Hyper 212+ to ensure it stayed well below thermal limits and ensured memory remained at 1066Mhz.

Is my little HTPC doing 1080 with out a glitch with a AMD 7750, until I upgrade it it to something a little more power efficient.

Thx for the reply but if i set the voltage lower or higher than in the current position i go in a boot loop and hardly came back to normal and then i have to set them again and again and i won't find any better option ( in the BIOS ) for the Bus Speed than the 240 and the current voltage values i have.

So any other ideas ?
