All,
I bought an abit BE6 on which I ran a celeron366 at 550mhz for about 3 weeks.
 I tried overclocking further w/ no luck, and at one point I ended up
clearing the cmos with the jumper (all cpu settings are done through the
softmenu option in the bios so no jumpers there).  After clearing the cmos I
got a "CMOS checksum error - loading default settings".  The system hangs at
this message and it won't let me into the bios settings.  I tried a new
celeron, but no dice.  I ordered another BE6, and am shipping the other one
back.  I just tried it out.  It wouldn't boot the first time, because the
default cpu setting in the softmenu is 266mhz (the chip is a 366).  I cleared
the cmos with the jumper and tried to reboot and am getting the same CMOS
checksum error and can't get into the bios!

Anyone ever hear of such a problem?

Thanks,
Bob
