Pentium III overclocking -Help-

I recently upgraded my mobo from an ABIT VH6 to an MSI 6366 Apollo Pro 266 board with DDR Memory. On my last board, I had no problem overclocking my 933 PIII up to (7*143=1001 Mhz). On this board, if I set it at this, it takes forever to boot, and when it does get to windows, my USB devices are all disabled. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? The benchmarks in Sandra are pretty consistent with a PIII 1 GHz processor.

Thanks for the help
 
Hmmmmmm Are you running an NIC card? If so, did you give it an address in Network Neighborhood? This slows down boot quite a bit, as the OS is looking for an address for the card, and if you feed it 1, the system will boot quicker. Check in device manager for a conflict in Irqs.
 
Thanks. I use the AT&T@Home internet service, so my Network card is always in use. There is a setting in my BIOS that says "Assign IRQ to USB", I have this set to disabled. Could that be the cause of my USB devices not working when the system is overclocked?
 
Yes, it's fine when not OC'd. It just seems strange that it would do this to USB and everything else works fine.
