SYSTEM:

Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz
256MB DDR266 (Gave mom my 768MB DDR400, getting DDR400 1GB soon)
GeForce FX5200 128MB Dual monitors
DVD Drive
52x CD Drive
Pc Chips P25G Skt 478


I just crashed again. It has been doing that before, freezing right before HALO load screen, restarting randomly, around 1-5 times an week.

No BSODs though...

Just checked temps in BIOS - 37-36C idle, 38C board

Cooling shouldn't be an problem... right?

1x Side intake 80mm
1x Rear Exhaust 80mm
Copper HSF with 43CFM fan.
Arctic Silver 5
1x addon 40MM 5CFM Northbridge fan
2x PSU exhaust fans
1x GFX fan

Could I have damaged my board or CPU because of overclocking? Where can I start?

If your trying to run Halo 2 then your system does not meet the minimum requirements of

Video Card: DX9 graphics card: WDDM driver, PS 2.0/32BPP, At least nVidia 6000 or ATI x700 or above.

If it is the original halo, then I would suggest that you turn down your over clocked settings for your video card or CPU. Turn it back just a little bit and test, if it becomes stable then your ok, if not turn it back just a little more and try again.

Run the ATI tool for checking for artifacts, see if your over clocking allows it to run for a couple of hours with no artifacts.
 
Origional Halo. Halo 1...

I already underclocked it. No difference. I'm getting worried....

ATITool? It works on Nvidia cards?
 
Sorry for late response..

Amazingly... I gave me 256 + 512MB to my mom, and placed 256 + 64 in, DDR333.. it seems to have it's old power back now.. amazingly.
