motherboard asus p5k,

when every time i tired overclocking cpu from 400-540 MHz, after re-boot, i keep getting " blue screen of death / blue screen" if not that then windows keeps restarting over and over!

Is that your RAM that you are trying to OC there? 400FSB would be 4ghz, 540 would be 5.4ghz...

Cpu!
i have tried 395mhz, it ok even without any coolings.

You need a cpu cooler or your computer will over heat and crash. I would also suggest manually setting your voltages, should help get the system stable.

take the time to read this guide in DETAIL...

I can already see several mistakes you made that the guide warns about... there is no point in even trying to help you until you take the time to give yourself a basic education in overclocking.

My first time overclocking ever was using that guide... and I got a nice OC very quickly and on my first try thanks to following it.

and it been stable and but it hard to notice any change!

your memory is running slightly out of specs

just crank up the voltages to the max allowable by your mobo. that should do it!

I should point out this is a sarcastic comment. Don't do this.

Put everything back to auto then follow the overclocking guide.

You really need to read about RAM and Double Data Rate.
