Explorer closes caused by OC?

I currently have my 2600-M at 12.5x200=2.5ghz with 1.75v and when I'm in windows, everything works fine, but occasionally Explorer will close down on me at random points and I don't know what's causing it. I'll go to click Start, that works fine, but sometimes when I click All Programs, I get the hour glass mouse, then explorer closes. The most recent was today when I was copy and pasting a word file to another location; I went to paste it, and explorer closed. I have no idea what's going on, but I'm in the process of backing everything up for a format to see if that helps (and my computer is so cluttered with junk, it'll give me a fresh start anyways). Do you think my computer will keep doing this after I format and keeping my cpu at 2.5ghz?

BTW: What is the default multi and fsb for the 2600-M and why when I select a multiplier above 12.5 does it take the overall speed of my computer down big time? I.E. I had it at 13x200 and it was clocked at like 1.1ghz. Whats this all about? Is it my mobo? (Asus a7n8x dlx. w/ 1.007 bios)
 
...can you run standard benchmarks like Prime95 / 3DMark2003 / etc. successfully with the OC in place...??

Prime95 ran for about 16hrs and returned no errors. All other benchmarks ran fine. i.e. pcmark and aquamark. Its only Explorer thats giving me probs. I just finished formatting my comp, so I'll see if it still continues to do it.
