Overclock is slowly killing my computer
My specs are Athlon XP 1600+ w/ Ti4200 64MB and some cheap PC3200.
When I first got this computer I overclocked it from 1.4GHz to 1.63GHz (FSB 133Mhz --> 155MHz)
Increased voltage a bit and everything worked fine, very stable.
A few months ago I was getting stability issues and lowered it to 1.60GHz. Everything worked fine. A few weeks ago I started getting BSoD all the time and had to lower it to 1.585GHz. Is my CPU dying? My temps are 47-49 idle. Is this too high for a Palomino?
Same is happening to my graphics card. I overclocked it 250/513 to 268/552. Worked fine and very stable. But today I was starting to get artifacts. I had to lower it.
Seems like my components are all gonna die

About 5 months or so. But it is from 2002 I think.

I don't think the previous owner overclocked it. All I know is that it was running at stock speeds when I bought it. It has only been overclocked for the time I own it.

I could replace the PSU, but I don't have time for it. My PSU is only about 4 months old.

It's probably the PSU, or the memory. Or even the motherboard.
