I have some issues overclocking my CPU, even if I only change the FSB frequency by 1 I can boot one time, then next I'm getting following error

Previous attempt of overclocking failed, press DEL to enter BIOS Setup or press F11 to enter boot setup

Some AMD stuff all around that text

I did a stability test and it worked just fine at 2.85 GHz

Default clock speed is 2.3 GHz by the way, ignore my sig edited it after the first attempt where it worked fine

my motherboard is MSI K9A2 CF-F

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

possibly its your ram. As your FSB is going to overclock those as well. Try overclocking then run prime95 before you get the boot error and see what happens. If you get rounding errors more than likely that's your ram which is causing problems. If the PC simply BSOD or freezes then it's more than likely your CPU.
