mains location variation screwed my overclock

hello

i recently changed location /power source for my PC. i connected up my machine to the new mains socket and my overclock failed on prime ..ooh nooo i damaged my computer in transit perhaps?? i alter the voltages up on cpu and nb fsb ...down and up . still failed sometimes fast or somtimes at 1hr 30mins aprox ...so finally i change the fsb a few notches down to 402fsb instead of 406...and the overclock worked fine. weird...i had it set great before...it's as if the the mains power over here is slightly different?. i thought the psu on my machine would prep the power source for me and make it sweet? it must have just moved me into a dead spot with those settings.

just thought id mention ...worth checking your overclock each time you switch power source location perhaps!!??!!
