Hey

I used to be able to overclock my processor to over 2.33 GHz. I don't know when it stopped but I always put the clock down to normal when I install/reinstall windows...I'm guessing about a month or two ago. Now I cannot get it past 2.23 Ghz without windows messing up and then me having to reinstall windows because it wont work anymore...any suggestions on what this might be because of?

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2,330 MHz 10x233
ASUS K8V SE Deluxe
512 MB Kingston PC3500
Sapphire ATI R9800 Pro 128 MB
80 GB Seagate ATA133
80 GB Hitachi SATA

A o/c'd chip does loose it's top end after pushing its thermal limits long enough, and even its back end sooner or later...
