Burning in?

Ok I just got myself an Athlon 1333 TBird and it rocks against my old Duron 800 :-D

But....I've been having quite a few lockups since installing it (today) a few on the XP desktop, but most in games. The game will just bomb out back to windows as if it had never been running, or on one occasion, just reset my machine altogethor.
So I'm wondering if its either:
a) Ye old KT7A mobo can't handle being at 133FSB (ie its stretching the board to its limit)
b) The CPU needs burning in???? (Dont even know what that means)
c) My power supply (300W Aopen) is just not up to the task

Any ideas much appreciated.

Cheers peeps
