Why does my phone keep freezing while in Android?

---

I was able to boot into android perfectly fine until about a week ago where it would just hand at the boot screen. today i tried to fix it by formatting my sd card and doing a clean install. now i can boot into android perfectly fine, but if i leave my phone idle and let it sleep, after a couple of minutes a green led will turn on and my phone will not wake up and i am forced to reset my phone.

anyone know what the issue could be? i flashed a new rom today, but i doubt that has anything to do with this.

is my sd card bad?

Do you have it overclocked in your startup.txt? That will cause this issue.

ahh yes, i overclocked it to 700mhz. so basically, i cant overclock at all without facing this issue?

Does anyone know if the Windows Mobile ROM on the phone affect how high one can go with an overclock? Like would using the stripped down ROM help to achieve a higher clock speed as opposed to using a loaded ROM like EnergyROM?

Yes, it seems the OC will crash android once it tries to sleep. One workaround some people have said works is add "htc_battery_smem.fake=1" to your startup.txt cmdline. Your phone will not crash anymore, however your battery life will be a little shorter due to the fact its not sleeping as deeply.
