Whenever I boot up, I get an error message that says: "Cpu is unworkable or has been changed. Please recheck - CPU SOFT MENU." What does this mean? Eerytime I change something in the bios I cannot restart be computer, I just get a black screen (no video signal.) But when I descahrge the cmos the compuer works fine but the error message shows up again. The cpu does not seem to be overheating too much. It stays around 22 C. I do not know if it is the mobo or the cpu itself. Please help.

Hmm, another KT7 bites the dust. Thats similar to what happend to my KT7, except mine was starting to show signs of instability before it went. Put all the same hardware on my MSI K7T Pro2-A and it's running strong as ever, better actually.

and of course, if you are overclocking, be sure to set "speed error hold" to Disabled.
