alright, system setup is 2 celerons on a bp-6 with lots of cooling

i had the cel's oc'd to 552 (92*6) and they were running stable for a couple days at @34degrees. however, i started having a bunch of lock-ups and recently the system has just been restarting by itself at very random times. anybody have any kind of idea what's going on? i don't think that it's the head, it could be but i'm pretty sure that's not it. I put both of the processors back down to 400 and still had to try about 5 or 6 times before the system would actually go into windows. also, when i bump up the voltage, how much damage does this do to components? is this the last alternative. thanks to anybody who can help!

Your power supply may be failing http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif I would test that before changing voltages. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

That started happening to my system recentaly.. Once I got a Live! and a GeForce DDR it started rebooting randomly. Turns out my OLD network card was sucking power like a friggin Voodoo 6 or whatever the hell it is. Anyway, I bought myself a D-Link and now I'm good.

Ohhh, I forgot one thing.. I suppose I should have just replaced the powersupply, but that would be one pain in the *** with the way my system is wired (lots of electric tape and wire nuts). Funny thing is, low system power dosn't really cause lockups, it casues hard reboots.
