AGP vs. FSB Problems!!

I have a Soyo SY-6BA+100, pIII 667, 256mb pc100, v5500 agp, 4 ata66 hd's (6,6,8,15). I have had numerous problems with this setup. First one would be the FSB vs. AGP. At 133FSB, the only choice on the Soyo for AGP is auto(88), 88, or 133. /1 and /1.5 or something. Everything runs fine at this speed, but when I run any game, guaranteed a crash within 2-5 minutes. If I put in my old v2, I can run all night. The only clues from readme's and soyo is to upgrade the ram to stablize the overclocked agp slot. Im eyein the Mushkin pc133 rev2. This can run at 2-2-2, and the 133 speed should help keep things stable.
Has anyone else had problems with 133FSB and the BX chipset limiting the AGP ratio? Ive also tried booting up as a 500 (100fsb 66agp), but it never makes it. Are the 133 cpu's locked in at 133mhz or higher? Has anyone had problems with the v5500 and oc'n?
HELP!!
 
Plain and simple. You're overclocking your video card. It was designed to run on a bus of 66 Mhz. You are running it on a bus of 88 Mhz. Some people have luck running their video cards there and some don't. The BX chipset was not designed to run a FSB of 133 Mhz, therefore it doesn't have the needed AGP dividers built in. The only choice you have is to find a video card that is stable at this speed. You'll have to see what other people are running successfully. And Good Cooling is a must.
 
From what I've read the 5500 doesn't take high agp speeds very well. Try getting a PCI version of it or submit to NVIDIA like I did.
