Because this was what I tried before just to verify it wasn't the overclocking that is causing it except that the only thing I can think of is that there is no L2 cache in the Celeron 266 which might be the problem. To be honest, it seems like everything since the Pentium and up has L2 cache. Only the Celeron's don't.
