Sometimes I think you are exactly correct "kitfit1". Is why I usually cold boot from power supply off condition and then use CMOS Reloaded to let the board do its' best to pick the most often used fine delays if set to Auto.

This is something that peeps don't seem to realise. Loading from "Cmos reloaded" with Auto fine delay values, will set different values than starting from scratch in the bios. This can then make "a stable clock", look unstable.
