i recently bought an msi kt4v-l mobo with an xp2200+ chip. i have 512 pc2700 ddr ram with an 80 gig maxtor drive. i want to overclock my pc, but when i get mf fsb past 151 it freezes and all i get is a blank screen and i have to reset the bios on the board. right now i have it at 146 mhz. i want to get more power from it but i am sad to say that i cant get it any faster. is there anything that i can do to increase the speed? and do i have to "unlock" my chip to do that? i dont want to mess with anything other than the fsb without getting any details first. thanks in advance.

your multi should be unloked already, you need to lower it...
read some of the stickys about other factors that would hinder your OC, such as cooling, your PSU, and your RAM, and what the PCI divider is...

if you change that to manual do they not appear
and your cpu uses 13.5 so you will need to wire trick it before changing the multiplier

It might help to know that the PCI bus on that board is not locked and when you go aboce 145 I belived your pci speed hits 40+. My little bro has this board.
