I tried changing it to 150 and got the message > "warning -- the CPU has been having [sic] overclocked!!!!" It sounds stupid but try the option for "restore factory defaults" in the BIOS. After that add your personal tweaks. There are parameters that can be reset in the BIOS but do not have user interfaces. I had no end of trouble with an Asus P6NP5 and its floppy interface under FreeBSD until I tried that on a lark. Of course it worked fine with MS stuff all along. It does sound a lot like your BIOS and CPU don't like each other. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
