Try 260MHz FSB and see if you can boot. Make sure your ram doesn't get overclocked too

How do i make sure it dont change the RAM aswell, doesnt setting FSBRAM to 1:1 mean as i overclock the CPU it overclocks the ram with it?
Yes, well any ratio you set will overclock the ram. What you have to do is set a ram ratio that makes your ram run at a slower than default speed. I've just taken a look at your other CPU-Z screens and it seems fine. What spec is your ram?How do i make sure it dont change the RAM aswell, doesnt setting FSB
dont know if this helps mate.

That's just fine. You can go up to 400MHz FSB and the ram will be fine (ie not overclocked). So try 260 if you want. I've seen other users requiring 1.45v for 3.6GHz so maybe 3GHz will be a nice setting to aim for.
Just wait for IntelBurnTest to finish then il head up to 260. just out of intrest what advantages are we talking about here from 2.0 to 2.8 meaby 3.0 if im brave enough?
You get quite a boost in performance in quite alot of apps. From there onwards the boost isn't as big. There was a thread on XS about this before and the biggest boost was when the CPU's (Not yours specifically) was clocked to 3GHz.
in games i assume it wil give a slight boost aswell, quicker loading times, maybe some extra FPS, im also tempted to by a new cooler for the CPU just to be safe? any recommendations?
The Xigmatek thingy is a decent one. I'm sure the others know the exact name but it's one from Scan around £25~ (fan included). TRUE and the Noctua's are also good but more pricey.
Yeah, done it passed 25 out of 25 on full stress levels and temps have go down from 51/48 at full load to 35/32, time to go to 260.
Once you have got your maximum stable overclock with IntelBurnTest I would use the blend test in OCCT to check stability of your overclock and your RAM for one hour. Once this is done use Orthos overnight(for at least 8 hours). This means for most normal usage your computer should be stable.
Another layer of testing would be to run a couple of loops of 3DMark06 and the Crysis Benchmarking tool as this will indicate whether your system will be stable during gaming.
Did you upgrade your PSU BTW?? TBH if you can get your CPU to between 2.6ghz to 3.0ghz it will be fast enough for most normal usage. Saves money on a CPU upgrade!!
I think apart from the PSU the RAM will probably be the only other upgrade which will be useful at the moment.
The AK965 will do the job nicely for under £15:

It has got many good reviews and will be more than enough for am overclocked Celeron.
The OP can qualify for free postage from Scan for orders over £20(excluding VAT) so if they need to get extra RAM and a newer PSU(the OP was looking for a new PSU in another thread) they can get this all from Scan.

ok I think I've buggers it changed it to 260 and saved it pressed f10 to save and quit the computer makes all the normal sounds but my screen don't change from No Signal ohh dear
Phew it sorted it self out I took the ram out which was quite warm and put it back in turned it back on and it told me thecprevious overclock had failed and returned to previous settings
