It is odd that when i O/C my Cele above 2.70 Ghz my sound stop working and windows says that there is no sound device installed. any help would be handy. and would i see more performance out of a faster cpu at the moment. just in general gaming  ;)

And sound card in realtek ac97 onboard ;)

I don't do much overclocking, so I don't know why it would cause your sound to go out. Even though the drivers haven't passed MS's signature program, you should still be able to install them.

Check the BIOS for PCI Latency and set it to 64 or 128 and try again

Losing sound with overclocking on an older baord can require a bus latency change however it sounds to me like you are pushing things too far and without voltage increases to stabilize the board.

Voltage increases mean upping the CPU and memory voltage SAFELY.. but yes the PSU not being powerful enough can play into that
