looking for some things to try

I'm at my wits end with my motherboard.....

my system specs are in my sig, and I'm having a problem with booting. When powering on my computer, it does the "double boot" thing that many people have reported, however, almost EVERY time I boot the system, it switches itself on and off 3 times and then goes into overclocking failsafe mode.

I leave the BIOS settings as they are, save and exit, and it typically then boots fine, it then proceeds to run 100% stably. Occasionally it repeats the process a few times if it's being particulalry troublesome. Sometimes it sets the northbridge and southbridge voltages to the maximum value for no reason....

I'm running bios version 1.5, 333x9 @1.325V with the memory on a 1:1.2 ratio at 1.95V.

If I set the thing back to default values with no overclocking, the problem persists.... I thought it could be my ram, so I swapped it out and tried my old computer's ram. It booted fine 3 times in a row, but then the problem started again.

Can anyone help?

only thing i can think off is a full cmos clearing pull battery and put clr jumper on 2/3 for a full ten min.s or so make sure you unplug ps from wall hope this helps you
