I've also had OC'd boxes start failing.  A trusty PPro 233 of mine ran
OC'd for almost 2 years before finally starting to exhibit occasional
flakiness.  I now run it at 200 and it's happy again.  Next to it sits
another PPro which has run at 233 all its life without any problems
*except* during the summer months, at which point things start doing
the sig-11 dance.  I keep it around deliberately in that configuration
to show people who claim that OC'ing is entirely safe and a boolean
go/no-go decision at worst.
