I just reformatted my computer yesterday, and today I felt like doing some benchmarking.

x2 3800 @ 2.4, 7800gt, 2gb ram

I just overclocked the cpu the other day as well, prime stable for over a few hours, I still need to test extended periods of time, however temps are 35c idle, 45-47 full load. I am in the process of improving airflow, as my room is small and tends to heat up.

However, this doesn't seem like an issue caused with the o/c. I've played games stably, and have not run into any other problems. After about 5-10 seconds of downloading a large file, the system locks up, and I have to reboot. This ONLY occurs in firefox 1.5. I'm downloading 3dmark right now on IE.... Anyone else have an issue with this?

1 more thing... I've installed the AMD x2 driver, but no reg fix or anything... Do I need to do that?

Sounds like a problem with firefox's download manager.

Try reinstalling firefox and see what happens. If that doesn't work just use IE or Opera.
