I have been having some problems ever since I built this computer about a month ago. Every time I boot up, it takes about 5-8 seconds for my video BIOS info. to be displayed. This is not a big problem, but it slows boot time down a lot. My biggest problem is that my computer frequently goes into BIOS setup by itself on boot up. It takes me into BIOS and the choose CPU speed box comes up like when you first install a CPU. It says that my system hung on boot up while detecting CPU speed and it has me choose between 1050mhz, 1400mhz, and manual. I have tried 1400mhz and manually setting it to 10.5x multiplier and 133fsb but I still get the error sometimes. I dont know what part is the one causing the error. Can someone please help me? It is driving me nuts and I am planning on selling my computer and want to fix it before I sell it. Thanks
