First of all I have a BIOSTAR TForce TF720, a Athlon 500+ BE OC'd at 3.0 and 2 GB of OCZ Platinum Revision 2 RAM running XP
Last night I was messing around and decided to see if I could get the cpu over 3GHz. I just tried to see if I could get it to 3.2 but when I set it up there was a BIOS error and I quickly reset. When I turned it back on the same error was there and it was unresponsive and I had to turn the power supply off. When I turned it back on I was able to set the clock back down to the stock setting of 2.6 and it booted normally. Then I put It back at 3.0 and there were still no problems and I went to bed. Today I started to play morrowind and when I started it up it was only getting 5 FPS! I had the graphics in creased using various mods but I still was getting around 30 fps with the on board graphics. I fiddled around for a good while with all the setting and even reverted the quality back to the standard quality but to no avail. Even in other games the frame rate is horrible (HL2 it flashes between 1 and 34 to 64) I put the settings in the nVIDIA control panel to performance and that helped a little. I then updated my BIOS hoping that would help but it didn't and I put it back down to 2.8. I then updated my graphics drivers but nothing else has improved really.
A few more things the drag movement or windows has gotten really wonky and sometimes the sound clicks and pops during certain intensities of noise
