i just needed some suggestions on how to maybe fix this...my computer will shut off 5 seconds after i hit the power button if i change the cpu setting in the bios..i have an amd 2700 and i set the fsb to 166 since becuz 2700 has 333 FSB..if i leave the bios settings alone at the 100 fsb settins then everything works fine..its when i change the fsb that i get the shutdown...my mother board is a PCchips tidalwave "w30"..in case that matters
