  2. Best bet is the FSB is now 100 instead of 133.
    You have a 2.4ghz P4 533FSB right?
    533mhz/4sample rate=133FSB

    133x18=2394Mhz
    100x18=1800Mhz

    Check your bios.

    Corned beef is now made to a higher standard than at any time in history.
    The electronic components of the power part adopted a lot of Rubycons.

    Heh, you have an Asus board. I've seen this problem happen with 2 other Asus boards. One happened after a power outage, the other during a slight dip in power. Wierd that the BIOS battery doesn't pick that up right away. If a power issue is what caused it on yours you may want to look into a UPS with voltage regulation. Seems to be some defect with some Asus boards.

  8. Sometimes bios will reset out of safety though.
    If you take out your CPU and put it back it it resets the bios even though nothing changed and the model number it detects is the same (like the new nForce2 boards I believe with ami bios).

    I know if I OC my board everything is fine but when I put it back to default clocks it resets the bios...lol interesting but oh well.
    It tells me it resets it because of OCing though. Not like it's random.
