an faulty asus board (with via chipset) around here resets the FSB from 133 to |
| 21 |
100 at every reboot. You have to cold boot it instead. There was nothing |
| 22 |
that could be done to stop that behaviour (it was an old one and worked fine |
| 23 |
for some time for it first user). |

Maybe the bios-battery got weak (we ruled that out here, but is maybe your |
| 26 |
problem)? |

|
| 28 |
For the unplanned reboot: maybe it is time to remove dust from the |
| 29 |
cooler/heatsink? Or check the PSU that it got not weak? |
