Got my athalon 700 rig out to finally troubleshoot it. Turns out the bastec 250w wasn't any good. Put in an Allied 300w and it's Rock solid now

best board I ever had for 775 was honestly a Gigabyte P965 DQ6, it pushed my first Q6600 GO to 3.8 pretty happily, granted the 965 chipset lacks alot of nice stuff later chipsets brought though
