thats alittle too vague.

what CPU are you using?
what voltages are you trying?
divider?
videocard?

have you downloaded the 4-1 drivers?

theres alot to consider.
need more info if you want advice.
theres plenty of people that can help here.

4 in 1 drivers are not needed for an nforce2 board.

more system specs would be helpful. if i remember correctly, your power supply is most likely not cutting it.

If I where you I'd check out the A7N8X thread big read but worth it.

ok my specs are

A7N8X
Xp-2000+ Tbred( factory unlocked)
Gainward GF3 Ti200
Corsair PC3500 256MB RAM


both the GF3 and Xp-2000+ are watercooled

now any FSb above 200MHZ is not stable i was having this same exact problem on my KX7-333R now with the ram i got it should b able to do an easy 220MHZ FSB i dont understand why i cant overclock on these boards maby it is my cheap 300W PSU?

try a better psu and then check back with us.

some AGP cards have a tendency to mess up at certain OC's.
the 9700 for instance in my case goes nuts around 196.

that may be part of the problem.

are you sure that 2000 will run 211 FSB? Is that the same CPU you tried to OC before but could not hit 1800 MHZ?
