help, i can't raise my fsb....

right now, i have my 1gig duron running at 1150. right now my multiplier is at 11.5 and my fsb is at 100. i do not know why, but i cannot oc by changing the fsb. for example, i lowered my multiplier to 6 and raised my fsb to 133. my computer won't even start. by the way, i have a soyo dragon+ with nothing in my pci slots except for my ultra geforce2 video card.

EDIT

well, my 256mb pc2100 ddr memory is crucial. so overclocking should be possible.
in my past two years of overclocking, i haven't had this problem before. generally, i would just lower my multiplier until i can get my computer to start. for example, right now, i have tried lowering my multiplier to 6X and have raised my fsb to 133. this adds up to 798mzh. this is technically not overclocking and so i do "expect" my computer to boot at least. moreover, i know that my computer is overclockable right now because it is running @ 1150mhz. i have discovered that i can increase my fsb up to 107 or something around that but i cannot increase it anymore than that. i have tried unplugging my ide's and pci cards, but that does not work either. i do not think it is my visiontek ultra geforce2 because i have overclocked with it before. shouldn't i at least be able to do fsb133???? especially with my multiplier at 6X???? i had done fsb150 with my prior motherboard(FIC AD11) and currently, i am using all the same components except for the motherboard and the cpu.
 
flash to latest bios? ^ so at least some of the experts over here will see (hopefully I will learn something too 😉 )
 
"expecting" to be able to overclock a processor is pretty arrogant. The processor in question was made to tun at 10X100. If it does work outside those parameters good, if it doesn't well then you get the 1Ghz you pay for.

But like the other guy mentioned, if your memory is the PC100 version, you will have problems OCing it, especially if it is generic, and not a good name brand memory.
