I done this test, the score in 3DMark99Max was 5152 3DMarks and 33055 CPU 3DMarks at 800x600x16 (default).

It runs the first Race in the 3Dmark2000 with about 30fps and then crashes or freezes at the 2nd race. Does run the first two heli flights from 3dMark2001SE with artifacts in stead of beams of sunlight and then crashes.
This passed all okay for me so we can rule out incompatibility. The score in 3DMark2000 was 3351 3D marks at 1024x768x16 (default).
The tunnel test with 64MB textures didn't run due to lack of texture memory and I think one
other test after this was skipped but I can't remember to be honest.

In the weekend I'm gonna remove the 10yo thermal grease, which is completly dry btw, and wash cpu the cooler, apply some new thermal and give it another go. Also remove all the dust inside (plenty) and the PC133 128MB SDRAM lose on the inside (?), maybe with another psu.
Your problems may very well be the CPU but there could also be a fault with the IGP overheating?
Some tests include swapping PSU, RAM and CPU to see if the problem is solved but you may also want
to look at the capacitors around the CPU socket and see if they are leaking or have exploded.
For a better CPU you may consider upgrading to the ATHLON 3200XP if you can find one
and is supported on your board.
I done some other tests, and here are the reults:
3DMark2001 1596 3D marks at 1024x768x32 (default).
3DMark03 85 3D marks (most tests skipped) at 1024x768 (default).
I installed some games, some work, some don't. For example "XIII" runs really well and looks great but HOMEWORLD2 exits to desktop without any message when run.
Bye.
