Boot problem.

Something wierd just started happening with and older WINXP box I have. When I go to boot up the second it starts to scan the SCSI drives it dumps, everything goes dead fans etc, except a blinking green power led. Hold the power button down to kill it and reboot. It then boots to the BIOS setting telling me there was a problem with the CPU external power settings, so it has changed them to safe mode. Save and exit. Box boots fine, runs all day no problems. This only happens after a cold boot, Everytime, reguardless of saving the setting etc. Any Ideas? CPU going? The motherboard is a ASUS A7M266, I have an AMD 1800 in it with 3 SCSI drives using a adaptec controller. Been a long while since I've been inside this box, So if I have to pull it apart to find out specifics I can tonight.

THanks for your time.

If the PSU was dying it probably wouldn't run fine afterwards. Typically the only thing that will allow a system to perform perfect after a boot error such as that is a battery in BIOS/SCSI adpater, etc.
