Actually, my problem came back again. I tried resetting ESCD to no avail. I thought
that it might have something to do with how the motherboard set the voltage level
for the processor. I have an 1800+ and it used to run at 1.5v. The supossedly bad
board ran it at like 1.8v so I thought that might be it. Since I couldnt adjust
the voltage, I decided to go to a local parts store and try a motherboard in their
service area. That seemed to fix the problem even though the new board had the voltage
at 2.0v! I returned the supposedly bad board and got my money back. I havent had
any problems since. So the strange problem really still seems to exist at least
in some capacity.
