Could V5 be causing crashes after FSB OC?

Sorry for the long tag, folks. I have an Iwill KK266 system with 256 MB PC133 RAM, T-bird 1.2, and a Voodoo5 5500. I ran completely stable at 147x9.5 for a while and then, right after i tried pushing my V5 to 169 Mhz, the system would not boot into Windows. Now I can't take my FSB over 133 without errors. What I want to know is if it's possible that the Voodoo5 can't handle the increased bus speed, and if so, will it help to jump the AGP speed down to 2x or 1x on the mobo? I haven't heard of this happening before...
 
I had a V5 5500 pci..it was causing me enomorous problems with my 1.2 and A7V133...I could not get it to run hardware accel 3D....It may be a driver issue...it maybe a power consumption issue...

I removed my V5 and run a G400 and can run stable and do 3D accel...9.5x147...best I could do with my V5 9.5x146 but no hardware accel. 3D...

Note a fsb of 169mhz is 84.5 agp bus and the V5 may not like being out of spec...

oops...did you overclock the V5...to 169...if it crashed...check the overclocking tab and restoe to default the V5 probably does not like the high fsb with O/C core.

Also I would set the card to 1x AGP and make sure AGP texturing is off and AGP fast writing...the V5 is not a real "AGP" card...

Does not do the fast writies and AGP texturing...

Can you run 3D games with your V5...what drivers are you using???
