What mobo do you have ? It's very important to know before providing any further information.

Unless you have an nforce mobo your RAM and CPU speed are linked by a ratio...please specify your entire config....If you have an intel rig then there will mostly be an option in the BIOS called DRAM:FSB ratio...If you can change this to 1:1 then you'r RAM speed will always be twice your cpu fsb...eg: 400fsb will give you 800mhz RAM speed, so if you have DDR2 800 RAM then theoretically you can go to 400fsb without overvolting your RAM.

sorry for late reply.thanks friends for your responses.well i have asus p5gl-mx mobo.and 2gb ddr ram.
well what actually i want is that is there any software with which i can bring the value of the ram to its normal value from the desktop.

actually i think the ram is not letting the processor to get fully overclocked.
the system shows blue screen or freezes at a little overclock.where as other people can overclock it at a much higher value.
