well guys im starting to understand this overclocking stuff and how it works and i got my system to overclock from 3.0 to 3.2ghz so fare and everything seems good so fare but my question i have is anytime i go over 3.2ghz i get a black screen with this message (reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key) and when i go back into my bios it dose not detect my hard drive or 1 of my dvd burner it just shows 1 burner could this be a psu problem like not getting enough volts because i have a 460 watt thermal take psu

A little more information on what system ou are running would help. Thermaltake are good though, so I wouldn't automatically suspect that. After the failed overclock attempt, did you load up the default settings in BIOS, or even reset it with the motherboard jumpers?
