I just put together a system with an AMD 2100+ tbred w/ Volcano 7+, Asus A7N8X (not delux), 2 sticks of Corsair XMS PC3200 and a Gefore4 TI4200. I currently have the processor running at 166x12.5 and it is completely stable running Prime95 all day long.
The problem is when I shut down the computer and restart after a few hours. I get a bios error message that says something like "The computer was not shut down properly and the bios is currently operating in safe mode. Press DEL to enter bios setup and adjust the cpu frequency to the correct value". When this happens I have to enter the bios setup and then save and exit and the computer will reboot. Sometimes it will reboot and load fine on the first try and some times I'll get the same error message 3 or 4 times before it boots properly. The odd aprt is that if I shut down the computer for only a few minutes, I do not get the error message. It only seems to happen when it is left shut off for over a few hours.
Any advice about this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
