Hi and thanks for all the help i got about the problem. It looks like i'm going to get a new cpu afterall. But they tell me that i cannot get a new motherboard cause it doesnt support BSD, even though it destroyed 3 Cpu's they regret to change it. ABITS AP5T doesnt support BSD. It works fine with Windows 95 was the answer i got. If this is the case, then what motherboard do you recommend me to buy ? I'm going to use FreeBSD and Win on the same machine.
