Default Northbridge - Please help!

Hi, i have a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P Motherboard, with a Phenom 550 running at 3.7Ghz.
The problem is that everytime i try to raise the northbridge over 2000 i get a post error and the entire bio reverts back to stock settings!
Strangley this only happens from a cold boot. If i cold boot and the post error comes up, if i hit the restart it will post fine and run ok. But its just annoying knowing something isnt right.
Any ideas?

all thta i can think of is if you have the money buy a new board if you dont then make do with what u got and save up for a board

thinking about it if you bought a new bridge cooler it might boot because it wont heat up as fast so the board wont clock back to defualt settings
