OCing problems on 2600-m

Alrite, just got my 2600-m, and im having some problems overclocking it. I set the FSB to 200mhz, multi at 10x, and bumped the Vcore up to 1.6. Doing this, it always hangs on the Memory check screen. So I then bumped it up to 1.65, and tried again. Then, it will go thru the post and all, but when it should get to the part where it displays the windows loading screen, its just black. I stopped at that point, because I thought that I should have been able to hit 200mhz at 1.65 vcore. Is there anything else that could be stopping it? or should i take vcore higher, rest of specs are:

NF7-S rev 2.x
512 OCZ pc3200, 2336 @ defualt voltage (2.6 maybe)
 
I'd suggest backing off on the FSB until you get a stable boot. The NF7's are notorious for problems with FSB settings, so that could be the problem. You may not get a major OC on the thing. I'd suggest visiting Abit's website and their forums, where people have discussed this problem to exhaustion. They could help you a great deal.
 
Should be able to handle 2000 on default voltage (1.45), obviously. So there is definitely a problem. I would suggest trying to run the chip stock (15x133) and also make sure to reset the BIOS first.
 
no no, i can hit 12*166=2000 at1.55vcore, but i cant seem to get 200fsb, just wondering if i should ahve been able to at 1.65vcore
 
ill just guess that you hit the wall on your chip somewhere between 166 and 200 then again maybe its the board.
