I got in on the 1.6a and P4B266-C action early on, and can run 16x132 1:1 Prime 95 stable, so I have been doin' some gaming with this box. Now I that I may want to sell this box, my old problem of not being able to warm boot is going to make selling more difficult. I tried default 100fsb and every combination of Full screen logo, fast POST, no USB plugged in, and still no warm boot. When I cold boot, (no problem there), after POST, I get a black screen with a flashing cursor up top left of screen then the blue color screen and the password screen, and on into WinMe. When I warm boot, the windows (Me) screen goes to blue color screen and then to the black screen with the flashing cursor, that's as far as I get. Any help from the guru's please? Thanks.

I had\have it set for turbo1. At 132fsb because the best I could do was 140fsb at 1.675v (limited by the Mushkin 2100 ram with Nanya chips :( I think) and although I could run Prime 95 for 8 hrs, I was having blue screens or getting thrown back to the desktop during on-line gaming, (un-acceptable to me), so to get rid of those problems, (I did), I went to 2.112Gig instead of 2.240Gig, (not that big of deal to me if I can stay in a game and not get a 0 score 'cause I had a online game crash). I have also passed Memtest at my current ram timings 2-3-3-5 I think. But re-stalling drivers etc, are a pain when I can't re-boot. I would like to get that fixed and go faster too of course, but re-boot is the big pain now. :D

PS: and at 132fsb 'cause I could lower Vcore to 1.6 stable.
