When you increase the FSB, you also invertantly rise the PCI and AGP bus speeds, which should be locked at 33mhz/66mhz when u OC. PCI is the motherboard's audio and harddrive controller (responsible for DATA transfer) and AGP is the motherboard's video(graphics) controller. So if 33/66 go higher then a certain limit then what u experienced starts to occur.
We only buy hardware so we can run software on it.

Some motherboards allow the locking of the PCI/AGP speed...some don't. As Quantum-1 said, the default speeds are 33/66mhz. Generally, 38mhz is considered the safe max for the PCI bus...AGP would be twice that, or 76mhz.
Check your BIOS settings to see if you're missing the adjustment. There's also the possibilty of a "divider" setting, or a "ratio" setting
