i have an asus M3A78 mother board and am trying to overclock my cpu. my cpu is a phonomIIx4940BE i currently have it running at 3.4 Ghz using only the multiplier. if i try to up the FSB my computer restarts wen i try running prime95. i trie the fsb at 204 up from 200 and the multiplier at 17 and i start prime and almost instantly it restarts the computer. my cpu temp readings are in the 48-50 degree range wen this happens. so i dont think it is a heat issue kuz iv ran prime with the temps around 65 b4 and no restart then. i have beewn told to try to adjust my cpu voltage but i cant find a place in bios to do so. i found a place that has settins like + 50mv,+ 100mv & + 150mv. not sure but i dont think this is what im looking for. i also tryed to run 3.5Ghz with just the multiplier at 17.5 and i had the same issue restarting and the temps were similar to the 48-50 when it restarted on me. any help please? i would really appreciate it.

Thanx,
Sporky
