I've had difficulties that were unexplained, until setting the clock
speed back to the chips rated speed. Everything from files not getting
written to disk to compilation problems. This was the only thing I
changed and the performance returned to normal. My experience with
overclocking is limited, and maybe someone else has other ideas. This
resolved those unexplained phenomena on my machine.
