Athlon XP2600+ Barton stuck in Safe Mode (1250MHz)

I have an old XP2600 as my main box. Been running great on an Asus
A7N8X2 MB at 2.0something GHz. A few days ago I looked up some numbers
to try overclocking it. I got it up to 2.33MHz but after a day or so
it began locking up. When I tried setting it back to the original BIOS
numbers it complains at boot time and goes in to Safe Mode. Can
someone tell me what the "basic" numbers are for vcore, multiplier, fs
bus and such to get this back to 2GHz, or a good OC site? Or have I
toasted something on the CPU?

thanks,
