Default BIOS Settings Help

Please help me set all these settings in my BIOS. I'm quite a NOOB and this is the first rig I've built on my own.
I really don't have any wishes to overclock. I just want the right settings as when I set me settings to auto I get a BSOD(blue

screen)

What you should know:
I've already done countless Google searches
I have already tried leaving the default(optimal settings), but I get a system crash when it is set to default. It is only when I

change the DRAM frequency to 200MHZ(which makes my PC run slow) that I can run my OS without a BSOD.

I set my timings as follows:
Code:
DRAM CAS Latency: 3
DRAM Bank Interleave: 4-way
Precharge to Active: 3
Active to Precharge: 9
Active to CMD: 3
REF to ACT/REF to REF: 21
ACT (0) to ACT (1): 2
Read to Precharge: 3
Write to Read CMD: 4
Write Recovery Time
I wanted to set my DRAM Frequency to 200MHZ how it should be, but what's weird is that when I run tests with Everest using the

DRAM Frequency: 200MHZ setting it shows me that I'm running at
Code:
Memory Bus    120.0 MHz
DRAM:FSB Ratio    3:5
When I go back into the BIOS and set DRAM Frequency to 333MHZ I get what it should be...
Code:
Memory Bus    200.0 MHz
DRAM:FSB Ratio    1:1



System Specs:
RAM - KVR533D2/1GR 1GB PC2-4200 DDR2 CAS

Latency: (4)
Main Board - PCCHIPS P23G V1.0
CPU - Intel

Pentium D 930 Dual Core



Timings: (Set Values)
DRAM CAS Latency
DRAM Bank Interleave
Precharge to Active
Active to Precharge
Active to CMD
REF to ACT/REF to REF
ACT (0) to ACT (1)
Read to Precharge
Write to Read CMD
Write Recovery Time


Options: (Enable or Disable)
Auto DetectDIMM/PCI Clk
Spread Spectrum
Max CPUID Value Limit
Excecute Desable Bit
CPU TM function
TM Status
C1E Support
Intel SpeedStep (tm) tech


CPU PnP Setup Page: (Enable or Disable/Set Value)
CPU Over-clocking Function
CPU Frequency
DRAM Frequency

The following link will consist of a complete guide to my RAM, CPU and Motherboard including screenshots:

I've had to slow my RAM down too, shouldn't really make a noticeable difference to you PC speed - Winblows can do that
