Hi guys, back again with a bit of a problem. I have the Asus AM1I-A (mini itx mobo) for the Athlon 5350 and seem to be having a problem overclocking this little guy. I have the multiplier set to x21.0, RAM set to 1599mHz at a 120 bus frequency with +0.12500 on the core voltage to bump it up to 2.52gHz. I am aware that it can go about as high as 2.72 at maximum stability but I can't even get it to 2.52 without it immediately going into a BSOD the second I start it up. I have two system fans running and the AM1 Arctic M1 cooler on it and at idle it sits between 22*C and 28*C. I can't figure out why I am having such a problem with a simple overclock. My RAM is Corsair Vengeance 1600mHz 8GB. My storage is a 256GB SSD, power mode is set to balanced, and windows is installed on AHCI which I thought could've been the initial problem as I was able to overclock this on an AM1 ASRock motherboard just fine on IDE. Can someone help me with this and why this is causing me headache after headache. I currently have it sitting on 105 bus at 2.2gHz so far so good but it doesn't seem to go past that. Any information would be great.

But when I boot, it says "Inaccessible Boot Device" on the BSOD every time. Like I said, there are people who get this thing to +2.6gHz on this mobo. I just don't know what's happening particularly with this. Maybe I should try resetting the OS to IDE because that worked before on an ASRock board.
