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).
