Just a thought along another tack: have you verified the hardware is good? That thouyght strikes me because of the nature of the messages you are getting. I have a mainboard with the VIA 8237 chipset and nvidia graphics (I don't recall which model ATM) and run 5.x w/o problems. If the unit has been around a long time, try re-seating all the memory, cables, PS connectors, etc. Have you run a memtest86(?). Does a visual inspection show any signs of distress on the board (discoloration of capacitors, leaking, etc)? Check BIOS settings too - maybe something set wrongly? Is the CMOS battery good? Do BIOS settings hold? > > Regards, > Alain HTH -- Bill
