The  answer is that it doesn't like the CPU when you go from 1066mhz to 1333mhz fsb.   Only 1066 Mhz , 800Mhz, 533Mhz FSB cpus are supported in this model.  Intel® Q965 (ICH8) Express Chipset

Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 965
Graphics Core Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000  

There is no support for this there is no Help for this.
