OK, this *SCREAMS* bad CPU. If normal clocking causes lockups, but
under-clocking is mostly OK, I'd suspect the CPU more than the MoBo. It
could just be that the heat-sink (as per your analysis) isn't good
enough, but I doubt that - I've had P2 and P3 systems run for days
without fans, and the abuse I witnessed in IBM test labs was astounding.

I have a known good CPU, but the cartridge and heat-sink were
disassembled with little care take to insure that it could be put back
together properly (by the original owner). I think we can work a deal.
Contact me off-list for trade day/time info *grin*
