Stabilizing an OC at a lower VCore

What are some methods I could try to stabilize the overclock on my PII 940 at a lower VCore? My sig is out of date actually... I was running 3.8GHz at 1.475V, ran it on OCCT 3 Linpack for some time and everything ran fine, but then the next day I go to boot it up and the thing blue-screens on Windows startup. Lame. So in any case I bumped the VCore to 1.5 volts. What BIOS optimizations can I do to lower this and still stay stable? NB and HT are both at 2.2GHz, Memory is at 2.1V and 1067Mhz, ACC is on Auto.

Well, I'd start out by finding out exactly what is failing (CPU, Video, Memory, NB, etc.) and then addressing that.

If you can't/won't do that, then just lower the overall overclock.

try backing HT to 1.8ghz it gives no benefits in performance, NB speed helps greatly but usually means more volts/heat for the same core OC.
