quake3 and sacred dont like me being overclocked to high speeds, even though i maintain 42c max under load. and games such as ut2k4 and farcry run 100% stable with no quirks.

quake3 will freeze every 2 minutes when im playing online, and then go back to normal. it only does it when im overclocked to a certain speed(barton@13x200). when i underclock(12.5x200), the problem goes away.

also, the game sacred(top down rpg game) has a problem with me being overclocked as well. characters and items will disappear after a couple minutes, and the only way to fix it is to go down to 11x200. its lame because these 2 games have these quirks with overclocking yet its completely stable with games that are much more intensive. btw i have an nf7-s and radeon9700pro if it matters.

but does anyone know exactly what would cause this? like some bios setting thats maybe making the computer choke when it doesnt need to? im out of ideas right now. bah!
