It was skipping between 4.5 and 5, its the official bios, isn't up to date, by no end of troubles i mean, it stopped working after an electrical storm, replaced the psu from generic 500W to OCZ powerstream 470W, now I can't get to a single OS that runs from a harddrive, leading me to think the board has major drive read problems from both the VIA PATA+SATA and Promise PATA+SATA controllers, note that it worked perfectly before the storm and didn't have any problems with any of its hardware, but now post storm I think a lot got messed up, and I even had the pc plugged into a grounded outlet..ground musn't actually ground on that outlet and just have the 3 hole deal..I don't know..I've sorta posted this before but here LeeJend see what you thik
