Norman,
Thanks for all your help. I tried again with your settings, but it still
hard locks. I also tried running a memory testing program (memtest86),
which you boot directly into and that hard locks too. I'm guessing it's
either a bad CPU or a bad motherboard.
Could also be bad memory. Memtest86 loads and runs from RAM. I have seen
bad memory cause memtest86 to lock up and or show garbage in the screen.
If you have more than one memory dimm, pull all but one, and test one at
a time.
