FSB goes up, Win XP Says NO! What do I do now?

[Lonemagi]

Got my new XP1800+ Havent unlocked this one yet, was hoping not to. The last one was just so much of a pain in the arse. So I tried upping the FSB on my Abit KG7, started out low, from 133 to 138. I had it running at that for a while before quite nicely. But now when XP Pro boots, I get an error message on a pretty blue screen that reads:

IRQL_NOT_OR_LESS_EQUAL

I havent seen this before, and have had my FSB up way higher and still got a boot into Windows. For some reason, I cant even have it up to 134 mhz. It still crashes. Any suggestions? I got my timings at 4:4:1, the only other option is 3:3:1. I even tried playing with the voltage, upping it one incriment at a time.

Is my only solution to unlock the XP? I really dont want to pull the thing apart till I get a new case, but will do it then to OC.

After thinking bout this a bit, I decided to reset the bios via the jumper on the board. slowly but surely, I am able to OC via the FSB, just dont know how high. At this point, I am running stable at 135.7 Mhz, (I know, whoop de do)Which brings me to 1.56ghz. Ill try some more tomorrow, and put up the results.

Well, after some playing around with settings, I disabled the memory hole at 15-16 in my bios, and upped my voltage, now just increasing the FSB the system is running stable. No more boot errors or anything. I have it at 138mhz, and my 1800 is running at 1589mhz. I am guessing to see a larger increase, I will have to unlock the chip. I dont thing my FSB will go any higher than 138. Although I am in the midst of replacing the chipset cooler, I am going out to get a new case tomorrow, so I figure I will do everything while its already open.

PS: Looks like I posted this in the wrong place to begin with, sorry bout that guys
