This is odd. I used to have 3dmark2001 score of 16426 at standard 2.4. I overclocked my 2.4 to 3.3 with 5:4 PC3200 and added a new hard drive (not saying that should necessarily speed it up), and now my score is 14246. I don't know if upgrading from 3dmark01 to pro 3dmark2001 SE did it, but something's up. No programs were running in background. Wireless Lan was connected, but not transferring any data.

Could be a driver being corrupted by the overclock.

Reinstall you video card drivers.
