Sensitive CPU:XP 2700+ Thoroughbred

[Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com>]

Hi,

A month agao I installed a new mobo(EPOX EP-8VTAI) and CPU(XP 2700+ 
Thoroughbred).

That CPU says NewEgg runs at 2.1GHz. I can run it at 2.3Ghz. Now I run 
it at 1.4Ghz.

I would label it "sensitive", meaning, at certain moments, but I can't 
say exactly when, I get strange kernel oopses.

The CPU runs hot, I guess. The old one, AMD Athlon Thunderbird at 
850MHz. never had a problem like that and ran max 47C. This one runs 
about 10C hotter.

E.g. yesterday on installing a new Sarge system, kernel oops occurred 
during compilation and thereafter in apt-get. Temperature was 46C, it 
was 30C in the room.

Today: CPU temperature was 40C, same process: no problems.

Any similar experiences?

Thanks!
