Ok heres the deal.

Ever since I installed my athlon 1.0 with Iwill kk266-r mobo I have been having problems. I do not know if I has to do with overclocking or drivers or what but heres the situation.

1.System works great in safe mode, so I figured I didnt burn anything out by overclocking.

2.System will load with selective start, as long as static vxd drivers are unloaded.

3.When system loadsup regular style...it will lock up with a line across the top of the computer right after most of the drivers load. Its different each time...some times it will let me play for about 10 seconds and lock up and other times it will not even load and immediatly restart.

4.Also my internet will not load anymore even though the addresses(ip, domain, ect) are correct. I checked the drivers and it says im missing 3 windows drivers, but those are the ones disabled with selective start.

Additional info: I have overclocked and my temp is around 42-46 stable, but has gotten above 50 and shut down with reg errors. I dont know if this is what is causing it, but i lowered it back to 1000 with 1.75v and it does the same thing.

I cant figure out why it is ok in safe mode but not in reg.

If ANYONE has any help for me I would REALLY appreachiate it very much!!!!

This could be a case of a bad or underated PSU. Although initially the system was stable overtime the PSU will give in especially if you are OC. Using Hardware Monitor or similar programs, check the 5.0V output of the PSU. If this is less than 5% of 5.0V or 4.95V you will need a new PSU. I'll try reformatting first though and go back to basics before jumping on the replacing the PSU.

first off, what OS are you using?
could you post a little more details of your system as well?

I narrowed it down to a probem with my ethernet card. Those drivers disabled will allow the system to boot and not lock up...so i replaced them and restarted but it still lockes up. Could this be a card that is burt out? I have had it for about one year. Its a linksys 10m card.

Get a different NIC and try it out. If the problem stops, keep the card. If it continues, take the card back - it is a different issue. If it is the Ethernet card, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the manufacturer for your OS?
