I posted a couple months back about an issue I was having in which I was getting BSOD's nearly every hour, on the hour. A simple CMOS reset cured the problem, but since that time it's been all I want to get within 200mhz of where I was stable before. Figured I'd try some other BIOS versions but that didn't change anything. Is it possible there is an underlying corruption of XP from the blue screens that is limiting the overclock?
 
Well, didn't really want to go that far at this point unless I got some feedback that it was a distinct possibility XP was the problem.
 
I am having a similar issue. Did you ever get yours solved? Here is a rundown of my issue:

My board was running great at 335Mhz FSB with 1.45vCore for a few weeks, well I decided to try and get a little more out, so I increased it until it wouldn't boot up anymore. I reset the CMOS using the jumper, put in the exact settings I was using previously, and now it is VERY unstable! I even increased vCore to 1.5v and it is still unstable. I am quite certain that I entered the settings the same as before the reset.

The other oddity I notice is that on the POST screen, it reports the FSB incorrectly as 334mhz, when it is clearly set to 335 in the BIOS. It did not used to do this before.

Is it possible that something was damaged when I reset the CMOS? What should I do?

P.S. Memtest runs fine, so it's not the RAM.
