I have an ASUS P5k-e mobo that I could not get to POST if I changed any BIOS settings in an attempt to OC. This seems to be a somewhat common occurrence for a number of ASUS boards from what I have seen on various forums on the internets.
I finally found a solution that I hope is useful to others.
1) Before you change anything else, lock the RAM voltage at the manufacturer's spec.
2) Then lock the timings at the spec
I was able to get it to POST fine only after doing this...I then went in and did my mild OC and it worked at long last.
One issue I did run into was with the CPU voltage. When I try to lock it, W7 is unstable and gives BSODs. So...
3) Leave CPU Voltage on AUTO
For your guide, I'm running a Q6600, and using Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2-800. At a 3.0GHz OC, I'm getting Vcore of 1.248 according to CPU-Z so the AUTO setting doesn't look like it's ramping the volts too much.
Also this solution is not original...I read it somewhere and can't remember where or who said it...but props to the genius that figured it out whereever/whoever they are.
Cheers.
