Awhile back I was having trouble getting through kernel compiles, the
machine would reboot during the compile. Someone on some newsgroup said
"are you overclocking?". I checked my settings. No, I wasn't
overclocking. But my voltage setting looked wrong. It was set at 2.2
volts or whatever and I thought it was supposed to be at 2.4. So I
changed it to 2.4. My problem was solved. I was flying through the
compiles. Then I was looking through my motherboard manual and realized
that it was supposed to be set at 2.2 after all. I prefer it the way it
is though. Do you think there is anything wrong with that?
