Gary, Updating the 10/18/99 BIOS to the much more mature (by two whole weeks) 11/01/99 BIOS helped, but did not completely eliminate the panics. However, reverting back to the "failsafe mode" BIOS settings as well did the trick. I was then able to complete an installation of FreeBSD 3.3. Later this week I'll try some stress tests to check the stability of the CPU/MB combination. Thanks, Scott ____ On Mon, 03 Jan 2000 22:25:04 +0100, Gary Jennejohn wrote: / Scott Bolte writes: | > The constants are the Athlon 550 CPU, the sole PC100 128MB | > SDRAM DIMM (with or without ECC enabled), the ASUS K7M | > motherboard, and the Antec 300W power supply.
