hello. im a bit new at overclocking so please bear wth me. just recently, i overclocked my athlon xp 3000 from 2.1 to 2.3ghz. i ran prime95 and after 6 minutes, it said there was a stability issue. the temps seem to be fine: 27c at idle and 38c full load. i cant seem to figure out what the problem is.

Remember that his core is 130 nm or 180 nm based (cant remember which), so they use alot higher stock voltage.
