alright this is ridiculous!

I'm trying to OC my Athlon 1.4, I currently have the FSB at 145, I can post at 155, but I can't get into windows. I have CTL sticks. I tried bumping down the timmings, that doesn't do anything. I removed my SB live card, nothing different. My BIOS sucks because I can't manually control the PCI clock ratio, so I just have to OC all my PCI stuff, but that shouldn't matter when their's nothing in there. Anyone know how I can get my system running at higher speeds?
Any help at all is appreciated. PM me if neccesary.

With no FSB:AGP:PCI ratio control your hard drives may suffer at high PCI clock speed and die.

Did you lower the CPU multiplier and try as high FSB as possible with standard clock speed?

Did you increase Vcore and possibly RAM Voltage?

vcore is severly limited I can go up to 1.85 from 1.75 in increments of .025, or something like that, and I have no RAM voltage control whatesoever, DAMN YOU ASUS!!!!
Multipliers make no difference.

Look at the left side of the AGP slot, there should be 2 jumpers for RAM Voltage sitting there.

thoose are AGP/PCI voltage, but I did get my FSB up to 160 now

so I'm kinda happy, I get waay better IQ in all my games, but benching doesn't seem to show any promising improvments. oh well 8741 in 3dmarks is ok i guess.

I meant the right side of the AGP slot, sorry. There is a jumper to set for RAM Voltage. You can choose between 2.5 and 2.6.
