sounds like you're hitting a fail safe feature where if the board won't post, it automatically defaults to the factory settings....I assume that you are upping the voltage, etc. you need to start with a small fsb overclock and see if that sticks and then work up - not sure what kind of oc headroom those chips have but you might run over to anandtech or one of the boards where they have worked with the high end chips and see what kind of settings they were using...generally the larger the cache the more trouble you have in getting a stable oc and the FX series I believe are already clocked pretty high

em what kind of memory you got if its ddr400 then then stock is your limit everytime u up the fsb u up the bus on the memory which causes system crashes.
