Athlon XP-M problem

[DuD3]

Hi.

Last time I have bought an Athlon XP-M 2800+ (AXMJ2800FHQ4C). I also bought an Abit NF7-S v2.0 mainboard. But the CPU doesn't work as it should. It is very unstable on all fsb/ratio settings. I checked it on 100x6 1,6v , 133x16 1,6v and 166x13,5 1,7v& 1,725v. On all this settings windows runs, but i can't run some programs, because of crashes, and the 3d objects in games are deformed. (some games doesn't even run, or the computer resets when i try to run them) On the Prime95 tests, in the first 'test number', test stops. On my old mobo (GA-7VA) it was so too. I don't know what should i do now. Is it possible, that thoes unstabilities are caused by damaged CPU? Or they are caused by wrong settings?

Here is a screenshot of Prime95 and CPU-Z when the error appeared

Propably overheating or damaged core - chipped. Clean core from thermal paste and check if it is complete or damaged.

I checked, it's not damaged. The CPU temp. is ok too (~30-40*C).

Have you tested CPU on two motherboards with same RAM and PSU ?

Maybe reinstall the OS can solve the problem.

If you are getting artifacts in games, have you tried checking the video card?
Maybe that's it...

Look for "video card stress test", if it doesn't pass could be what I suggested.
