Try prime95, and run it on torture test. Most intensive stability test I've ever seen.

I had tried a handful of stability programs when I first overclocked my cpu, but honestly the one program that would find a weakness if one existed was Unreal Tournament. I'm running a celeron 566@933. I was able to run it at 952 with everything I tried EXCEPT UT.

I agree with airjrdn - at 800, everything was stable (seti, cpu testers, genome@home, folding@home, winamp, icq, many IE windows, and all the usual junk), but UT demonstrated quite clearly that my cpu was unhappy with its temp :)

heheh damn look at me, coming here to find cpu stability tester and finding UT players

im a hardcore UT player (I'm in DS, #3 CTF clan on OGL, I go by BlackIguana and Panopticon), and thats exactly what im trying to solve, random lock-ups in UT

i found out that turning off AGP 4x helps alot...and i seem to be running stable now, but theres nothing worse than being in an important match and having the thing lock on you
