So I am overclocking my q6600 on my P5b-vm-se Asus mobo. I crank the FSB to 333Mhz and save my settings in the bios. When I reboot it says to insert boot media, so I check the bios and it turned out my Sata hard drives were not listed. I bring the FSB back to 320 and then they reappear.
Is this a motherboard problem?
You've hit the FSB wall.
Solution: get another motherboard, that one sucks.
(P5QL-Pro is a great solution!)

Darn, If only I knew that when I bought it. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, no problem.
The same thing was happening with my old shitty Gigabyte GA-945G-S3.
Few mhz more overclocked, SATA drives dead.
QPI for the win, FSB is old and it sucks!

What does this have to do with anything? I doubt you even know what you're talking about.
OP, does your bios allow you to force the PCIe to stay at 100MHz? If so, try that.

It gives me the option, but whenever I try to set it to 100 and restart it gives me the overclock failed notification on the motherboard splash screen.
I'll retry it again.
Edit: Didn't work

You can overclock QPI bus based CPU without worrying devices at PCI/PCI-E bus start failing due to increased frequerency.

You can do the same on older motherboards with FSB. :colbert:
If there's no option to manually set the pcie frequency, then you just have a shitty mobo.
