P3V4X Mobo Problem?

I was just wondering if it's just me, but I recently just upgraded my Dream Machine with the following specs:

Asus P3V4X Mobo
PIII 667EB Mhz Slot 1
MicroQ (I think, generic?) 128MB PC133 SDRAM
CL TNT2 Ultra 32MB AGP
CL SB Live! Mp3
CL 56K ISA V.90 Speakerphone Modem
CL Encore 2X DVD with Dxr2 Decoder Card
CL CD Writer 8432

Everything works fine except if I leave the computer off for longer than 5 hours and I turn it back on, it goes into the BIOS and displays the following error message:

During the last boot-up, your system hung for an improper CPU speed setting. Your system is now working in safe mode. To optimize the system performance and reliability, make sure the CPU speed conforms to the specifications of your CPU.

Now the strange things:
1. This machine is NOT overclocked.
2. The system did not crash/hung the last time it was shutdown.

Anyone have similar problems?
 
Check your settings dealing with the CPU in the BIOS and on the motherboard DIP switches. Also check all the jumpers on the board to see if they are correct especially the JEN jumper at the bottom of the board near the ISA slot, especially if you are using Jumperless mode.

Oh I just remembered also after seeing that you using a flip chip. Make sure that adapter card is seated in good or change it out for another brand. A lot of unusual things have been happening involving the adapters and changing it out usually causes good things to happen.
 
Another obvious thing to do: upgrade the BIOS to the latest version. Mine did that occasionally when I first got it too. It hasn't done that in a long time.
