bsods with oc using 1T

until recently i had the computer set to automatically restart instead of display a bsod when there was a critical error. whenever i overclocked my memory t 210 mhz (stock is 204, cpu would be 210x10), 2-3-3-10-1T (2-3-3-6 is spd timings for this ram), 2.8v (board overvolts to 2.89), the computer used to restart a lot.

when today i decided to allow bsods so i could investigate any my crashing problems, i decided to try this oc again. note that my computer will not even post past 210mhz, 1t for mem, and i have to use 2t. once computer had booted, i ran firefox and almost immediately was greeted by my first bsod since using win me. it said:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

***STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x222c0003, 0x0000000A, 0x00000001, 0xF7AC4312)

***USBPORT.SYS - Address F7AC4312 at base F7AAB00, DateStamp 3d6ddc31

What does this mean? how could i prevent it and allow this oc (it's not exactly a major oc, but it uses 1T, and i can't get stable oc results that match the mem perf of 1T even if i use the relaxed 2T, though cpu perf is greater)?
 
Sounds like your USB ports didn't like being overclocked. Does your board have a PCI/AGP lock?
 
how could i confirm that? it's a via k8t800 pro chipset, which is suppossed to have working locks, and my mobo is rev. 1.1, which made the locks work.
