Default PC reboots when FSB is increased !!!!

Hi
I recently bought a new Jetway Motherboard and an Athlon AMD 2.6.xp
The RAM is 500mb DDR 400 and is new. The power supply is 450w.
Everything is fine if I set the FSB to 133MHz (default) but when I
increase it to 166MHz the PC reboots when I run a demanding program
i.e game, video editing etc. The CPU temperature is about 50c and the
system 40c.
Am I supposed to do something in the BIOS after I've changed the
hardware FSB jumper?(the current setting is "optimum") There's nothing
in the manual about it.
Thanks for any help or ideas.

What's the temp of the video card GPU?

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end
of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many
people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please

My video card is a Geforce 440. I don't know how to get a temperature
reading from it. There's nothing in the software.
My PC uses DDR 400 Ram and the video card SDRAM. Could that be the
cause of anything?
Thanks

The system temp is high. Is that the temp at idle or at load? Try running
with the case opened and see if the temps go down and/or rebooting problem
stops. If it does, you need better ventilation.

Well, is it a 266 or a 333 FSB 2600+ XP?

Nah, and old card like that shouldn't be overheating unless its fan has
died, assuming it has a fan.

That never hurts.

Did they even make any Thoroughbred (133/266) 2600+ CPUs?

Well, if they didn't then there's some sellers who're going to have a heck
of a time providing what they're advertising.
