Whats most likely happened is that your system has built up a lot of dust. Dust as you know counters the performance of all hsf combos. Clean your mc462 with an airspray cleaner, and you should be set to go again.

If you are still freezing, your ambient temps may have gone up due to case ventilation or just weather. Check all case fans for dust.

BTW 1533 TB doesnt compare to a 1800 (1533) Palomino. The inbuilt TLB and SSE instructions make the processor a lot faster at certain things.

Good Luck.

Hmm, this could be an os issue. What os do u have? Tryed to re-install? Or u did any driver update? If u underclocked, and it still freezing, it could just be software problem. Or, unfortunately, you got an stressed piece of hardware.
Oh! How do you closed the L1 briedges? If you unlocked it with pencil, try redoing the job, or using that "magical repair pen".
