If you set it in BIOS, try setting it back to the old FSB and look for a jumper on the motherboard. Some motherboards have a jumper that you switch for the correct FSB for your processor. The choices are usually 133, 166, and 200. It should be at 133 for your 1800+. If there is no jumper, then you need to do it in BIOS like you did (make sure the FSB is at 133).

60 celsius isn't abnormal. Most people want their processors cooler than that, but AMD says that 90 celsius and below is OK for Athlon XP's. Room temperature has a lot to do with processor temperature as well...10 case fans, a Thermaltake Silent Boost and Arctic Silver 3 won't keep your processor cool unless the room the PC is in is cool as well.
