Default Overclocking Radeon leads to game crashes

I had overclocked my ATI Radeon 7000 64MB to 171MHz from 153Mhz. It seemed
to run stable in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for a week. However, starting
last night, whenever I enter a level of the game, the game crashes with a
"memory read error" out to Windows. However, the screen is now a few shades
lighter then it should be and it stays that way until I reboot (then it's
fine again). I uninstalled the overclocking software and everything in
running status-quo but I'm still having the crashes. Might this just be a
problem with the game (that reinstalling may fix) or did I damage my
(crappy) video card?

Thanks for your advice,
Mitchua

Try reinstalling your drivers and/or the game. I've corrupted a few
drivers, and game files, this way.
