A7n8x-e Deluxe POST msgs

[Rod Tilley]

I have a A7N8x-e Dlx mobo with a AMD 3200+ CPU, Kingston KVR400X64C25/256
and /512 DDR. BIOS ver. 1008

About 20% of the time I get a POST message that says "System failure due to
overclocking, Operating System now loading" About 2% of the time I get a
Post message that says "Operating System Now Loading, Operating System Now
Loading" The rest of the time I get the normal post complete os loading
message. No matter what the POST message is the OS still loads and
everything works OK. I am not overclocking and all the BIOS settings are
at their default values. So since everything runs fine after the OS boots
I am assuming that the POST is OK and that it is just playing the wrong
messages.

Has anyone else had this problem?

perhaps update your bios? but it all works in the end, why bother with even
that?

I get the "System failed due to CPU overclocking" occasionally as well. I
am overclocking, but everything is working fine.

I also get the double "Computer now booting from operating system" from time
to time as well. I figure its just a hiccup. Everything works fine anyway.

Same here.
But I have stopped worrying about it, since everything works fine.

I hope they can fix that in a future BIOS release.

Yes, get it occasionally, and I'm UNDERclocking at 195mhz, 11x,
100%FSB so the thing doesn't crash. This is the best I've gotten with
Corsair TWINX1024-3200LL matched pair.

BTW, as far as I can determine Bios 1008 is the latest official bios
for the -E mb.

Not a real happy camper at the moment.......

Same curious POST messages, so, I definitely disabled them
by the way of the BIOS setup...

Yeah, but not recently. Well, not since I turned the voice reporter off.
Found it to be somewhat annoying, as well as incorrect.
