Computer becoming unstable

When I first built my computer it was fine. Nothing wrong. But now it has become unstable. I have an AMD 2100+, Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo, crucial 512 pc2700 ram, ati sapphire radeon 9500 nonpro, 450watt power supply. I have the AMD oc'ed to 2700. Temp is staying at low 30C 32-36C. What could make it unstable? Thanks
 
is the computer stable when running at stock speeds? if so, the instability is due to your overclock. you could try increasing the voltages that you're using or relaxing your memory timings to see if that helps. sometimes a machine will seem to run an overclock perfectly fine for a while, then will begin to show signs of instability. i have a rig now that used to run fine @1.33 and above and now isn't happy at anything above 1.3. also, try testing your ram and your PSU to see if they are still running within spec.
 
It only becomes unstable during games. BF1942 was the first game it was unstable at so i increased the voltage fine in everyone other game but still it freezes every now and then. But now it has become pretty regular. Voltage is at 1.675
