I'm overclocking an Athlon XP 2600+ to 2ghz and, according to cpu-z, it sometimes just decides to run at 1200mhz. When I restart and go into bios the settings are as I left them and, after I do that, it will be back at 2ghz again. I have no idea what is causing this. any ideas?
 
How are your temperatures?

Can you run a benchmark at your regular setting, and when your CPU dips down?

Any differences between the two, or is CPUz just reporting wrong?

I suggest SuperPI 1M
 
Next time it boots as 1200MHz, try right-clicking on My Computer and select Properties. It should show you your current clock speed, and that'll tell you whether or not CPU-Z is reporting the speed correctly.
