Well it looks like your OC isn't working out to well and it's defaulting back to 100FSB and with your 10 multiplier you get 1ghz. Back off your FSB a little and see if you can eliminate the problems or relax your ram timings to see if that will help stability.

I have a NF7, AMD 2500+ Barton, SB Live also. What BIOS version are you at? Mine came with the original one and would not recoginze my CPU. I had a LinkSys 10/100 LAN card but am using the N-Force one and it is all working.

Did you do a clean install of Windows? I did not the first time and had problems with running. You might do that also if you have not plus update to BIOS 1.7 or 1.8 (make sure you get the correct one from Abit's site) for the Rev. 2.0 board. Hope this helps....

It could be your CMOS battery try replacing that or updating your BIOS

i have tried to flash to ver. 1.8 (stock was 1.6) i did a clean install
but it still happens so i think it might be the power consuption (psu) thats the problem im gonna go out and buy an antec 430 watt psu becuz mine also has crapy voltages too
will post back after i get the psu (might get it this weekend)

your problem is weird. Maybe the heatsink is not attached well enough so it was warm and then you hit the power back up, it reset the speed to default so you won't burn the chip?!?

YES I FIXED THE PROBLEM the whole time was this p2p thingy or what ever its called ill look it up again.
but when i set it to 1ms it fixed it i thoguht off this last night when i was at abit forums i heard about hdd coruption sounds like me so it fixed it
