Settings:
Core: v 1.4
DRAM: v 2.2
Mult: 9x
FSB: 333
Timings: 5-5-5-18
Temp Idle: 42C
Temp Load: 51C
-------------------
CPU: e6600
MB: D975XBX2
RAM: TWIN2X2048-6400C4D DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 2x1GB

What frequncy is the RAM running at right now in it's OC'd state? I found that my corsair XMS2 2gb kit ( PC-6400 ) wasn't stable at all above its rated 800mhz.

What you could try is throttling the RAM back to 533, pop your e6600 back to stock, and then over clock from there, so the CPU and the RAM are running 1:1. you might have better results that way. Also, i found that the badaxe doesn't like to run my RAM at 1.9v like the specifcations on the RAM dictated, i had to manually set it.

Now when i Leave RAM 800 MHz in Bios, and set FSB to 400, system passes POST, and restart as soon as mouse pointer shows up in windows. What can I do. I can see that temp's are not an issue for me to ahve it at 3.6 Ghz. Thanks
 
Well 400x9 would be 3.6Ghz and you may not be able to run that. Although, if you want to try I think it will need some more voltage.
 
Hello, I'm new to overclocking but from what i've read so far I think Vcore might be your problem.

Have you upped your voltage a bit since you first overclocked it? If not, try giving it just a little more voltage and try again, be sure to watch your temperatures though.
