The Unreal engine is notoriously unfriendly to overclocking, from what I've heard.

I was having the same problem with lockups on my system, and after a lengthy troubleshooting session, I found out that it was a memory module causing the trouble. I replaced the module, and haven't had a lockup since.

This isn't anything drastic, but it fixes a bug or two, and enables trilinear filtering, which was missing from the original OpenGL renderer.

There is a project to update the UT renderer:

but it's mainly improvements for ATI cards, and it's got a bunch of Windows-specific code in it, according to the author.
