I recently had a similar error with an ASUS TUSL2-C motherboard (Intel
815E chipset, Award BIOS) and a non-overclocked Intel PIII 933MHz
processor.  This was not the only symptom.
As usual, the apparent demonic possession ended up being bad RAM.
memtest86 flunked the RAM.  I replaced the DIMMs and it appears to be fine
now.
This is, of course, completely unrelated to FreeBSD, but I thought I'd
share for the archives.
