AsusA7M266/1.2Ghz266 cant get passed 1.39Ghz, it drops back to 1.36Ghz!

I oc'd the board via the fsb up to 149Mhz(1.39Ghz) with some errors. Tried going up to 150Mhz, checked Sandra and WPCUID and they said 1.35Ghz! So I maxed the Vcore voltage, tried again and it said the same thing, 1.35Ghz. Why is it doing this?? I have the VIO1 jumper removed to set the memory voltage to 2.5volts, since this is the Crucial spec. MY VIO is set to default(3.30v). Should I increase the voltage for the memory too? . My temp was around 44C. Please help. Thank you.

I tried setting the VIOI memory voltage to 2.8V, but I had the same problems.

Try dopping the speed down to where she is stable. Burn it in for about 12-16 hours and try again. Maybe that will help.

It also could be your ram. try setting the CAS latency to cas 2.5. Maybe lower your voltage a little bit???

For it going back down to 1.36ghz from 1.39, i have no idea why. Hope i helped a little bit.

MY CAS latency is at 2.5T. Don't know what els to do . Lowering the voltage didn't help.

I give up, nothing is helping.

I'm also getting a lot random errors in a bunch of different "modules" at default settings. These errors occur sometimes after boot up when I try to open something or when I've been running a while and attempt to close or open a program. Is all this related to the above issue as well.
Is anybody there???

I would take everything out but the video and see if the issue remains! could you back off the ddr cas-to-ras to like 3 or is that not possible with your bios!

My bios does not have the option of 3.
