ACK! Overclocking degrades image quality!!

I've had this Geforce3 Ti200 for about a month now. Overall i'm impressed with the image quality. However, recently i started to notice that after either leaving my comp on for a long time, or after playing a 3d game, the 2d in windows (its very noticable on text, especially when reading these messageboards) that the text was actually 'jiggling' back and forth. I thought my eyes were going crazy but i asked my friend too and he saw it as well. I tried a new monitor and the same thing happened.
The last thing i tried was to bring my card back to standard memory/core setting - and that made the screen stable again! I had no idea that overclocking your vid card could cause image problems like this! Has this happened to anyone else? I'm not really pushing my card too far either. Here is what i have

Gainward Geforce3 Ti200 golden sample.
Standard core/mem - 175/400 (no jittering)
OC'ed settings - 210/460 (has jittering)

Considering that i've seen people with like 250/500 or higher here on the boards, i'd like to know if everyone has this problem or maybe my card is defective? I mean, i paid extra money for this 'golden sample' which is supposed to clock higher than a normal Ti200 (which its not), but now its even worse if i can't do it at all because of image quality problems!
 
<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c0c0c0">maybe you should add more cooling to your case or the vid core. try blue orb.</FONT>
 
I have a GeForce2 GTS with it's memory overclocked (385MHz), but I haven't had any problems. It has been overclocked for many months now.
 
SyahM, my point is that my card was purchased under the impression that its 'supposed' to be overclocked, as the drivers that come with it have a standard and enchanced performance setting. I shouldn't have to mod my card to fix this problem...
 
<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c0c0c0">herm, in that case try flashing the vid BIOS is you dont have the latest one. If you consider this method as modding than I guess you need a new card ... some card differ from another.</FONT>
