GA-EX38-DS4 Overclocking issue

[Vercinaigh]

Ok so here's the deal....I'm not bothering to post my specs yet as i wanna know more about the board itself. The clocks are all stable, I pass like 17 different stability tests, you name them. I have never had corrupted data, freezes, or BOSD's related to hardware malfunction. Yet for some reason....and sometimes way more often then ohters...this mobo decides to reset clocks during a REBOOT, if i simply shut her down then turn it on, no issue, but since i am dual booting Windows 7 and Vista, this is quite aggravating. i guess i should post my specs anyways but meh.

E8400 @ 3.82 1.375v(I know pretty high for this clock, not sure why, likely bad chip, could also be reason for random resets of clocks for no reason.)

Geil Value 4GB(2x2GB) DDR2-800 @ 850 and 5-4-4-12

HD4850

HTOmega Striker

Seagate 7200.11 500GB and 320GB

Lian-Li P7B + 120 Side fan Add-on with all after market MassCool fans

PC Power & Cooling 610Watt Silencer

Tuniq Tower 120 @ 100% fan speed & Lapped with MX-2 thermal paste

The only other odd issue is random small lock ups..like...half a second or a second, then resumes as normal. This only happens overclocked....i again blame a bad CPU batch for this. I have building PC's especially enthusiast/professional.gamer rigs for nearly 10 years...so maybe I'm missing something here, but i doubt it. Help!

My board does this as well. Not sure what it is. The only thing I know to try would be to bump the chipset voltage just a hair. I am still running stock voltage, so this may not have any effect.
