CLEAN install, not a fresh install.  If you didn't specify "clean
install" during the procedure, then there was carryover between the old one
and the new one which could be responsible for the problems.

The battery (and entire board) was taken from a 160. It worked en that
machine yesterday, so I would think it would work in my 180 today.

I tried to install SuperClock!, but no change :-(

BTW I tested the machine with TechTool Pro 2.5, it found two errors in the
FPU (the log2 and exp2 operations, they may be unsupported), _all_ other
tests passed (RAM, ROM, chipset etc.)

And for Paul Nelson:

It was a fresh reinstall of the system, from the downloadeble 7.5.3 cd
image, updated to 7.5.5 (with 4 floppys). I didn't reformat the HD though.

Thanks for the help so far!

Magnus
