I have had a problem with my system for some time now with freeze-ups/ lockups.System is:
P3-600e@800mhz fcpga w/ golden orb
Soyo 6BA+4
128mb pc133 Mushkin HSDRAM
IBM 20gig 7200 hd
Creative Geforce DDR
Soundblaster Live X-Gamer
Intel 10/100 nic
Antec case and Antec 300w ps
4 80mm fans- 2 intake, 2 exhaust
several clean installs of Win98 se (no help)

These freeze-ups occur randomly. Sometimes during web browsing, playing games, occasionaly during startup just as it is going into Windows. I had upped the V core voltage to 1.75 from the default 1.65 in the bios but it still was doing it. I wasn't sure if I was getting a true 1.75, it showed it in the bios, as I use an Iwill sloket II and I had not changed the jumpers on it to the 1.75v config. I did that yesterday but the lockup happened again tonight. The only way out of the freezeups/ lockups is a press of thr reset button as esc and ctrl-alt-del do nothing. Any ideas on this?

Again today when I started my system it locked up while loading Windows this time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Listen to Ladi. The motherboard you have uses intel's BX chipset, meaning when you overclock your 600 (100mhz bus) CPU to 800 (133mhz bus) you are also overclocking your AGP and PCI bus. Try it at 600 for a little bit and see what happens.
