Now I am having again the same problem as before with P5B Deluxe BIOS 1226...
I set 8*500MHz for example, with proper voltages (cpu 1.352V, fsb termination 1.30V, NB 1.45V) and sometimes, like 3 out of 5, when I get to XP login screen, i type my password, hit enter... and it all slows down... after like 30 second only the background appears, no icons, no tray no nothing... tough mouse is still operating , and the keyboard as well, but still, the only thing i can do is reset....
Sometimes, it enters desktop all right, and I can run anything, prime95 small ffts, games, dvd, it doesnt matter, and it work like a charm, no errors, no freeze, nothing...
Now why is that...?
Like I said it happend to before with BIOS 1226, but guys here on XS adviced me to change back to 1219, cuz' its more stable, and better for OC...
Now same thing happen with this BIOS rev as well...
Any ideas?
Settings are the same, the ones worked well before, now doing the same old

I had similar issues when my memory was overheating, i added active cooling to it and everything then worked ok.
