my other thought, what hardware do you have installed?...any special audio cards, raid cards something like that?

I ended up fixing it again. I did a mish-mosh of suggestions I found on the web. I manually set all cpu parameters and voltages, FSB ratio, vdimm, and turned off all "shut down if there's a problem" features and hit save changes, and this time it saved successfully and let me reboot. If anyone else ever runs into this, that's what I would recommend.

Thanks as usual Ace! :-)
