Also, it seems that when i overclock too high, my video card loses signal and then my computer obviously wont boot. is this because the cpu is overheating or what? right now i have it overclocked to 2.07ghz from 1.9ghz and thats about the most i can do which isnt a whole lot lol. im usin stock heatsink in it right now. Is it that my mobo just cant handle higher speeds. I was only trying to overclock to like 2.3ghz.

Have you tried upping the VCore? It's also possible that your mobo is overclocking the AGP bus and that's screwing things up.

For the heatsink, just find one that looks good and seems to cool well. If noise is a factor, you could consider Zalmans.
