Are you running it at 4x75 or 3.5x83?  If so maybe the HDD or LS-120
can't handle the overclocked bus.  Try knocking it back to 66, and if
that fixes it you may have to reconsider your options, ie- running it
slower, replacing the CPU with a K6-400 (will run at 2x66 = 6x66), or
changing either the board or whichever drive is not playing the game.
