Ever since I overclocked my AMD Athlon XP 2500+, my computer seems to be hanging at random intervals for no reason. I have plenty of sufficient cooling, as the processor sits happily at a pleasant 44.0°C.
I had originally overclocked it to be at 2.09GHz, but I keep lowering the FSB every time it hangs (haven't messed with the multiplier). The last setting at about 1.98GHz just hung my computer without even being at a medium processor load (it was 4-5% processor usage at the time).
After I reboot the system after it hangs, the CMOS appears telling me the processor settings are incorrect, although they work perfectly well through strenuous applications such as 3DMark03 and Counter-Strike: Source.
In advance I appreciate any assistance given on the matter.
