I got a question. Today I was fulling around with over clocking my CPU. its a 5000+ Black Edition and I managed to get it stable to 3.1ghz ran Prime 95 24 hrs on it with no problems. But I then decided to see if I could get it stable to 3.2ghz so downloaded AMD Over drive and over clocked it with over drive to 3.2ghz and my PC restarted then came back up. So I decided (Since I was running Stock Voltage to try upping the voltage a little. It was set at the stock 1.32/1.33 so I upped it to 1.34 will it seem to run pretty will for a few hours then suddenly Prime 95 flipped out on me and started saying hardware error and just acting funny. So i decided to Clock it down to 3.1ghz where it was stable. Will when did and changed the voltage back to stock it didn't change on processor CPU-Z shows it still running 1.34 volts and So does motherboard. So I tried to ignore it thinking maybe a sensor issue or glitch but it seems like my PC is still extremely unstable. So I returned it back to stock speed. its still extremely unstable at stock speed and shows the 1.34volt vecore ever thought the motherboard is set to 1.32. I have also noticed it will spike to 1.36 volts. The only way I have gotten everything stable was to under clock processor down to 2.1ghz and Vcore of 1.21 volts. My question is does this sound like a fryed processor or have I missed something?

So far I have tried reseting the BIOS, Clearing CMOS, Updating the BIOS, Uninstalled Overdrive, and Reinstalled Windows XP.

If it does need a new processor I am currently looking at

seems to be the about the best thing i can get for my extremely limited budget of 70 dollars yes I know its a little over :p

I do want to say I am extremely sorry about my spelling :( Normal i spell check these post with word first.
