Maybe something got corrupted in the cgminer (or related cgwatcher) settings? Perhaps it's worth trying a 'clean instance' of cgminer, first by itself without cgwatcher. You may want to raise this at the DrillbitSystem forum where it may get more exposure/response from fellow drillbit users/developers.

already tried it yesterday made no difference, now the strange part been running the whole day on 54:2:850 and tried 52:2:950 again now....... now the bloody thing works?! running 5min 19 -23 GH/s 32C hw 1.15% now at 0.75%

What temp should the board be and which temp is high?

ed. fan(s) on heat sink a must but fan on otherside recommended

JBT,
Congrats, persistence pays....

I agree about the cooling, now have 3 fans 'surrounding' the drillbit8 board. My board was previously connected directly to the PC USB2 port, yesterday I tried it through a hub with other devices and it worked fine with int:53:2:950 (has been running now for about 9 hours). Temp reported by cgminer 3.8.5 is 32.1C. I think that this board reached something like 36 C with poorer cooling and some people on the drillbitsystem forum http://drillbitsystem.com/forum/index.php?topic=230.0 show higher temps. In general running it hotter would reduce reliability and possibly trigger some on-chip protection mechanisms.
It would be interesting if you find some consistent method to reach the OC settings reliably.
Cheers

HA! spoke to soon after a 5min router restart cgminer disconnected due to no internet no asic timeouts no hashing so back to 54:2:850

Maybe it's just a dodgy internet connection?!
I guess that you need to keep exploring it if you want to get to the bottom/cause.... try the 'divide and conquer' approach, start with the simplest configuration available (single PC, one miner, direct USB connection, just cgminer etc.), change one thing at a time, document your steps so that you can retrace your path....
Good luck
