Awhile back I was having trouble getting through kernel compiles, the
machine would reboot during the compile.  Someone on some newsgroup said
"are you overclocking?".  I checked my settings.  No, I wasn't
overclocking.  But my voltage setting looked wrong.  It was set at 2.2
volts or whatever and I thought it was supposed to be at 2.4.  So I
changed it to 2.4.  My problem was solved.  I was flying through the
compiles.  Then I was looking through my motherboard manual and realized
that it was supposed to be set at 2.2 after all.  I prefer it the way it
is though.  Do you think there is anything wrong with that?
