Read one of the debug guildes out there, most of them are pretty good and would save me time listing all the things that could have gone wrong, I would like to help but I need more info. First look at teh FAQs if they don't help come back with all the info such as FSB, motherbaord ur using, ram, bios, chip rev etc...

Here's a suggestion. Once you think you've successfully unlocked the bridges then lower the clock multiple. It just may be that your chip actually has a 750mhz limit (I doubt it but it is technically possible). If it runs lower then you at least know that you've unlocked it properly. Also, like train22 said we'd need a lot more info to try to narrow down the problem.

I'm using a penciled 800@1053. I used a generic mechanical pencil, the kind that has replaceable leads. I've never used a MSI socket A board so I don't think I'll be able to help as much as others, sorry.

Good luck.
