Assistance w/ e6550 overclock

[Gepidae]

[*]Full description of the problem and symptoms
So I had this computer for about 8 months and I figured I give overclocking my comp another chance. I cannot for the life of me get my computer to not freeze during a prime95 run with FSB 455. Prime95 doesn't even have a chance to run before the computer freezes.

[*]My software:

• Windows XP Professional Edition with SP3
• Norton Pro. antivirus

[*]My hardware

• IP35 NOT PRO with the latest bios
• e6550 Stepping B
• 8800gts 320 mb
• G.Skill 2x1gb DDR2 800 5-5-5-15 at 2.0 v
• OCZ 600 W

[*]I already tried these steps:
My stable configuration is w/:
FSB 445, CPUv 1.370, DDR2v 2.0, VTT 1.2, MCH 1.25, ICH 1.50, CPU GTLREF 63%
14 hrs prime95 stable @ 63 degrees C


I tried increasing the following (this is the max value I've used so assume I've used all the volts in between):
MCH 1.370, ICH 1.60, CPUv 1.410, DDR2v 2.10,

NONE of these configurations worked and as soon as I try to run prime95, the comp just freezes. I do NOT get a BSOD though.

So then your motherboard isn't cut out for running 455FSB. No big deal. Try a slightly less ambitious overclock instead, like 400MHz.

You dont think its possibly due to another factor that Im missing rather than just my mobo cant go further?
