homonculus - I have tried that and it prevented the computer from posting. Something interesting happened, though.
I had to do a clear CMOS to get the computer to post again - a whole bunch of Checksum errors came up, even the date and time was reset. After setting the system up with CPU at "Auto" the fsb was not at 266, but 253 or 25X. And the memory frequency was not correct either.
Ok, went back in BIOS, make sure that you set the CPU to Async - NOT Auto, and have your memory set to ddr400. Don't forget to check your DIMM's voltage setting.
Not to mention all of the other settings, I/O, Raid, AGP, etc.
Saved changes and restarted. Ran CPU-Z. Got that 4:3 for the FSBRAM ratio and 199.6 for the memory frequency. And proper speed for the processor.
So, to sum up. Clear your CMOS and reset everything in BIOS. CPU at "Async", DRAM at DDR400 (for those like you and me with DDR400), and double check all other settings in BIOS. Save changes and reboot.
Damn, simple troubleshooting. It's late/early - gotta get some sleep....
