P3-500 @ 620

[Stick]

Hi,
I OCed my P3-500 to 560 no problem, no need for a voltage change. I wanted to push it a little bit last night and I upped it to 620... it locked at the POST so I adjusted my Voltage... the first try it locked at the windows ... so I upped the voltage one more time. Well it finally entered into Windows however about 50 files/programs ran at the same time and it restarted. Well it messed up my FAT system Extensively, I salvaged all the Data but I had to reinstall windows. I did an FDISK and Full Format. Today when I tried to install my NIC card after installing the drivers and the restart it once again messed up my directory structure. I was able to fix it with Scandisk and SYS c: . I am at a loss on what I should do... Could I have fried my processor? The Fans on my processor were unplugged briefly, but only when it was at core speed and only for about 10 seconds. I am running my HDD on an ATA 66 card and I am not sure if that could have been damaged.
System Specs:
P3-500 (core)
Abit BH6 V1.0
Windows ME
Western Digital 14Gig HDD
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I am going to cry now...

I donno, but I know that it takes less then 2 seconds for your chip to become so hot, that it can burn you when touched. I wouldnt rule it out, but its unlikely.

you are using a 124mhz fsb which gives you a pci bus of 41mhz, a lot of hardrives and hardrive controllers don't like this speed, try setting your disk mode to a pio mode, this is usually under integrated peripherals in the bios and the setting is pio mode and is usually set to auto, also you need to disable udma on the primary controller (under the same options screen) this lets my drive run on a 41mhz pci bus and I would say that this is what your problem is, you should note that what I have surgested is only a diagnostic as running at a pio mode is not worth the extra clock speed as it is slow, if you still have the problem in even the lowest pio mode then the next culprit is the video card but I would say from the description of your problems it is your hardrive
