I'd LOVE to change my CMOS settings. I have an Intel D845HV motherboard. If anyone is interested, the CMOS settings can be found here: ftp://download.intel.com/design/motherbd/hv/A6513601.pdf If anyone can tell me what to change, then you are much smarter than I am - I do not see anything that would help... I'm going to muck with some of the halt settings as mentioned a few messages back in this thread. If anyone has had any experience with this board and this problem, I'd love to hear it.
