How about YOU, firstly, save that HP BIOS with 'WinFlash' and then OVERWRITE it with a fresh copy provided from your motherboard vendor - straight from windows.
Overclocking is not such a horrable experience with a doomed end.
However, just have to agree on the PSU part. But as of a again, it all depends how far are you going to be pushing your system.
I'd say giving that P4 a lift on default volts wouldn't be that bad.
Get EVEREST - report your motherboard's model. Take a look at your RAM - any information gathered (like marking on ICs) would help a lot. Same for other components.
