Zogthetroll, I hope my trouble was worse than Yours. I also have a 1800+ and used to overclock it (phat watercooling, looow CPU temps). I had increasing instability issues with a KT266A based motherboard. Reboots under load, blue screens during startup (The bootable media could not be read, or something like that). Reinstall of the OS didn´t solve it, heck, reinstall even failed, bluescreens etc. I replaced the motherboard and the troubles disappeared. I guess I fried the chip set.
Expensive hobby.
Try with another MB, factory default speeds.
regards
Mikael S.

edit: OK, that was quite cocky of me, my water cooling isn´t by far the phattest around here, not even close.
