Not that I'm positive it's your problem, but that last statement is categorically wrong. If the parts were all in spec to run at 4GHz, it wouldn't be called *over*clocking. It may work on some of these systems, but you don't get any guarantees when you go beyond the specifications (in fact, that's what the word "specifications" means).
