CPU or Mobo or me?

The specs:

939 3200+ Winchester
K8N Neo2 Platinum
1GB Patriot RAM w/XBL


Alright, I was following Zebo's excellent guide and could only get the FSB to 230 and could go no higher. I took the CPU and the RAM out of the equation as he said by setting them low, however no matter what I have done, it won't go higher than 230! Now, I know this is messed up given that every thread I have read on this combination or close to has been reaching up to 250 and higher. Is this really my cap? Am I stuck at 2.3Ghz? (300Mhz o/c) Is there something I am doing wrong? WTF? Any advice or assistance would be much appreciated.

-Thanks in advance.
 
Yeah, I am using both a 74G Raptor and a SATA Samsung HD.

Edit: The vcore is already at 1.5v
Edit2: Bumped it to 1.525 and nothing...same thing happening.
 
You know, when it hangs up, it always says: Detecting IDE drives ...

It just sits there saying that and then after about 10 minutes, it reboots and does the same thing over...won't even let me enter the BIOS.

 
Just to add in real quick...I did follow Zebo's guide and the HT is at 3x and the RAM is at 100Mhz. Also, a new problem has come up. When at 2.3Ghz, it runs fine in Prime95 without errors (tested 20 hrs), however, when I restart the computer, it hangs up with the same message: Detecting IDE drives...

Really confused. Is this a motherboard problem or something else?

Thanks in advance.
 
Put your sata hardrive conections to sata spot three and 4 on that mother board i was having a hard time overclocking and when i did that everything worked fine.

Yeah, the reason being that ports 1 and 2 don't have a lock, and SATA is extremely sensitive to overclocks.
