Phil:

I had a similar problem with my setup (listed below).

My system was unstable over 180FSB and would produce errors randomly in IE.

My solution to the problem was 3 things....

1) replaced my Enermax 550W PSU with the Antec True 550W.

solved HALF my problems.

2) Moved my DIMMS to the closest slots to the CPU.

3) Restored my OS from a disk image I had before I started OC.

YOu can see below what became of those changes.

I would recommend that you replace your PSU; that should help a LOT with stability.
