PC Freezing again!...

My computer freezes when ever I run my processor at its true speed. Any of the lower settings and it's fine. I have an Athlon XP 2000+ running on an Elite K7S5A. My temperatures are stable and well within limits at all times and I'm not overclocking at all. All voltages appear to be steady as well as I've got a 400watt Enermax one. I've also run a complete memory test with memtest86 and my RAM comes up clean. Any suggestions as to what is causing it? Cheers!

How fast are you trying to run it at? What speed is it stable at? The Athlon XP 2000+ runs normally at 1666 MHz.
