AHHHH!

After updating the Bios to 1004a which I thought I heard someone say could fix the long bootup process every 2 or three boots the PC pops into the Bios screen with a error about the CPU. And sets the Memory and CPU clocks down into safe mode. (lower speeds) Improper CPU Hanging or something it says. This crap happened to me on my old crappy PC-3000 asus board!

Any suggestions!?!

For the love of GOD!

Thanks guys!!

Thanks.

Is your CPU overclocked? If it is, return it to your original settings, and see if that works. Otherwise, maybe you flashed the BIOS wrong, and you are actually seeing an old default BIOS with bugs in it. Try downloading the BIOS again on a disk you KNOW that works, and reflash the BIOS. Hope this helps.

Do you have Speed Error Hold enabled in the bios? Don't know about Asus but my Abit has this feature and if it's enabled and you overclock it will do this.

Im not overclocking, and I will check if thats an option.

Damn, im reluctant to run this system as my main sys, it seems shakey. And why the hell does it take over a minute to boot.

Damn

For the boot question, try checking the Quick Post option in the bios. If it is not enabled, enable it, but I don't see this shortening your boot time significantly.
The root of the problem is elsewhere.
