Why isn't this overclock working anymore?

Hi guys

I overclocked my 6600 to 3.0 ghz the other day by increasing the FSB and also increased the voltage slightly and it ran very smoothly, no problems at all. After turning my computer off, the next time I turned it on, it started to reset after about 10 seconds, then rebooting by itself. Now when I try to overclock (using the same settings) it starts rebooting and won't load windows. Hmm... :confused:

As mentioned previously, I'm using 6600 processor and the memory I'm using is G.Skill PC2-6400 - 2 gig. Any advice?

Maybe the overclock wasnt 100% stable try running orthos for 12hours and run memtest to make sure your memory is ok.
