I can only oc my e6600 to 353 fsb. Any higher, and windows bsod s. The computer will actually boot at 3.7 ghz, which is more than 400fsb, i believe. What can be the problem? I have read that my mobo does not have the bios strap to any thing over 350mhz fsb.

Here are my specs:

PSU: Antec neo 500w
GPU: EVGA 8800gts 640mb
CPU: Core 2 e6600
RAM: 2GB CORSAIR XMS2 CAS LATENCY 4-4-4-12 pc6400
Motherboard: MSI P965 PLATINUM
Cooling: Titan Nikita water Cooling
HD: 2 western digital caviar 250gb raid0, 1 western digital caviar 500gb
CD drives: 2 LITE ON DVD burners

Have you tried lowering the CPU multiplier and increasing the FSB beyond 353?

If this works, then you are having CPU overclocking issues.

If it does not, you are likely having component issues. (Chipset, RAM, etc..)

I have ruled out the processor as a problem (i swapped in another one).
I lowered my ram frequency ratio so that my ram is not overclocked. It runs at 740 mhz versus the 800mhz it is supposed to run(pc6400). The only thing that I think can hold me back is the power supply or the mobo. I have heard some bad reviews fro my specific mob on the forums. Any suggestions?
