    Mild OC, 333 w/8x=2664, 1:1 666 w/6 6 6 18. Very stable, gives 2 seconds faster on super pi and about 1gbs more bandwidth, 97ns latency on Sandra over stock.:)
    But. Has just started resetting to default FSB and Memory settings after automatic (alarm) startups in the morning.:( Does not reset manual voltages, and doesn't happen at normal shutdown, standby, or restarts. Have q-flashed BIOS several times with no improvement. I have two different XP Pro installations on two different HDs that I can pick from the BIOS to boot, and both OSs exhibit the same behavior- which only confirms what I already knew: this has to be a BIOS problem. But why, with a fresh BIOS, does it continue?:confused
    I need some ideas, I have run out; and just set my BIOS to the defaults for now.
