Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H

[bubba925]

I have the Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H motherboard and DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2 Black Edition, 3215 MHz (16 x 201) 6400+ (taken from Everest). I am attempting to Overclock the processor to about 3600MHz however whenever I change the mutiplyer from Auto to 16x and the Frequency from Auto to 225 I reboot and get an error saying I should change my frequency. However I press F1 and continue but when checking my CPU speed in Everest it all stays the same as before.

On a side note, if I can get this solved what would be a good MHz to overclock my processor to?

Thanks for all the help!

Have a look at this first.

It could range from a lot of reasons why it reboots from lack of voltage to overheating.

It doesn't reboot, it just doesnt overclock. The settings in the BIOS are there but when I check the Frequency and Multiplier in Everest they are at the original settings. I have a Fan for my processor so I doubt it is over heating.
