Faulty mobo or CPU?

Hi
I just invested in a L7VTA to support my Athlon Palomino 2100+.
Now the machine continues to hang every few minutes.
I've tested the CPU with one of those freeware tools, and it repeatedly
reports errors during execution. I've tried to increase the voltage and seem
to have deminished the number of errors, but they still occur. I've lowered
the CPU clock from 133MHz to 100MHz and that has allmost erradicated the
misbehaviour. Apart from switching CPU does anybody know of a way to tell
wether it is the MoBo or the CPU that's going astray?

Usually, insufficient voltage to the CPU, especially when overclocking,
result in errors. Run both the memory and FSB at 133MHz,(13x133MHz for the
2100+) with stock voltage to the CPU at 1.75V. Ensure you have a decent
quality power supply. Also, test the memory with Memtest. Note: if the power
supply can't be counted upon, diagnosis becomes much more difficult.
