Prime95 in WinMe and WinXP

[Ren2610]

I've been running my P4 1.6A @ 163 FSB for about a week now, and ran Prime95 in WinXP Pro for 24hrs straight to check the stability. I also tried 166 FSB, and ran Prime95 for 12 hours without any problems, but 3DMark2001SE shows a few visual anomalies when I loop it, so I went back to 163 FSB.

Now, under WinMe, Prime95 locks up the system at 163 FSB after 15 mins or so. I dropped down the FSB to 150, and it seems fine now. Prime95 has been running for about an hour so far.

Is the problem WinMe? Prime95? Or the chip at that FSB? The mobo is an Asus P4B533.

I don't believe that's it. I dual boot between XP and Me, and in XP 163 FSB is fine... in Me it's not ( when running Prime95 ).
