Hey!
I've a AMD 64x LE-1600 CPU.(Its 3 yrs old).
Its normal speed is 2.2 GHz.(pretty slow)
But I was able to overclock it to 2.8 ghz but after 2 reboots it shows overclocking failed. (ASUS M2N68 AM PLUS mobo). Now @ just 2.5 ghz. i have stock cooling. WHAT TO DO?:(
 
More than likely you will need to arrange for better cpu cooling.

A good way to let us see what is happening, follows.

Makes answering about overclocking an AMD cpu easier.

And this is screen capture of HWMonitor (free version) from CPUID com
HWMonitor has been scrolled enough and large enough to show Min/Max of Voltages and includes the CPU Core Temps; which are n0w called Package Temps, fully visible.

This capture is made of HWMonitor after it has been open on the desktop logging Min/Max temps and voltages while Prime 95 was running Blend Mode test on all cores for at least 20 mins and then the capture of HWMonitor was made and it shows the Min/Max temps and voltages before P95 Blend was started and while running P95 Blend mode and gives much greater insight into how the system is performing without guessing.

In order to attach screenshots of INDIVIDUAL images as suggested, first crop and capture the images with Snipping Tool found in Windows Accessories or equivalent. Then click on Go Advanced, a button at the bottom of every new post window. Then click on the little paperclip tool at the top of the Advanced post window when it opens. Clicking on the paperclip tool brings up the file browser/upload tool and the rest is fairly obvious.
