I overclocked my Pentium 4 516 CPU from 2.93 GHZ to 3.41GHZ and I was playing BioShock and I noticed a 1cm x 1cm black square pop up for about 30secs is there anything to prevent this from happening again other the down-clocking ex. (raising voltage maybe (AND IF I HAVE TO HOW MUCH)) and am I damaging my system?
 P.S. (My OC CPU idles at 54C and at max load its at 60C) |

The peak temp you're seeing is near the thermal shutdown temp for your cpu. I believe it's around 68c, so that's a tad worrying although it shouldn't produce artifacts by itself.
What voltage are you running for your oc? P4's are generally good for around 1.35-1.4v (check Intel's site to be sure, due to the importance of these figures don't go on my memory). Due to being 90nm based your cpu does require quite a bit of juice at stock.
