Just wondering about my motherboard doing some wierd things lately. I
have had this system for about a year and it's been real stable until
now. I was going to get a 3700 San Diego CPU so I went and upgraded
my BIOS to the latest and greatest; 1014 from 1008. All hell started
to break loose, lockups, blue screens. Rather than fight and try to
see what values I needed to change, (nver had to do that on my older
BIOS's change) I went back to 1008. Had to reset my CMOS and I thought
all was okay after I verified and changed my setting to the proper
value. Nope, I've been having an occassional freeze which I can only
clear by a power reset...
Okay now for the power question, using ASUS Probe; I have seen my
VCORE setting vary from 1.454 to 1.486 (sometimes 1.512) . The
hardware monitor shows it to be 1.504 to 1.536 . I see VCORE swinging
with Motherboard Monitor as well but it's reading what the BIOS
monitor is reading...My 12V is also swinging from 11.904 to 11.968...
I am hoping it's not my regulators on my motherboard...
Any help would be appreciated as to why I am seeing these freeze-
ups..
My RIG...
ASUS A8V Deluxe Rev 2. BIOS Ver. 1008

Antec NEOPOWER 480W Power Supply
Antec 1040BII case, with 3 80mm running (2 rear, 1 front)
Case is going to be replaced with a Thermaltake Tsunami 3000B....
Thanks for any help,
