Strange X1800XT/Overclock/Mpeg problem

I have been getting problems with my machine. When i use the startup profile that i have set with ATI tool (625/750) all seems ok and runs games fine etc but then i try to play a mpeg video file (From youtube, break.com etc) the screen just locks up with a single colour (Has been blue, white and black) then after a short while the monitor will power off. I can still hear the video in the background. But then i cant get it back to desktop and have to reboot. But when it reboots the bios just hangs just after the cpu is detected and the only way to get it back is to reset the bios and reset up the options and everything works again. But i have just removed the profile and rebooted and the machine works fine and plays videos with no problems...

Is this down to the 2D/3D aspect of the overclocking?

Why would it effect anything in the bios?

Any help would be appreciated...
