I have a motherboard by PC-Chips (ahem!)

anyway, i have read a lot into overclocking and everything seems to refer to jumpers on the motherboard. I have my manuel and there is nothing on these particular jumpers.

However i have my multiplier, voltage settings in the BIOS (AMi)

Do i use the BIOS as if it were the jumpers? i have tried this and overclocked it to a 400MHz, this showed up as 366MHz in windows, but was very unstable (mostly IE)

Hi!

The PC-Chips mainboards are jumperless so there are no jumpers or switches on board and all CPU parameters controlled via BIOS Setup.

It's normally, that your system is unstable after overclocking. Some CPU chips don't support overclock. You may try to slightly raise the CPU voltage, but beware about overheating. You also must have a really big CPU cooler.

Also, if you change the FSB frequency, then may be some parts in your system don't want to work on non-standard bus frequency (especially SDRAM modules, video and on-board IDE controller). Any of my advices based on the my understanding of facts you supply.

Thank-you for your help.

I think i will buy a new processor, AMD are very cheap.
