I have a A7N8x-e Dlx mobo with a AMD 3200+ CPU, Kingston KVR400X64C25/256
and /512 DDR. BIOS ver. 1008

About 20% of the time I get a POST message that says "System failure due to
overclocking, Operating System now loading" About 2% of the time I get a
Post message that says "Operating System Now Loading, Operating System Now
Loading" The rest of the time I get the normal post complete os loading
message. No matter what the POST message is the OS still loads and
everything works OK. I am not overclocking and all the BIOS settings are
at their default values. So since everything runs fine after the OS boots
I am assuming that the POST is OK and that it is just playing the wrong
messages.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Same here.
But I have stopped worrying about it, since everything works fine.

I hope they can fix that in a future BIOS release.

perhaps update your bios? but it all works in the end, why bother with even
that?

Yes, get it occasionally, and I'm UNDERclocking at 195mhz, 11x,
100%FSB so the thing doesn't crash. This is the best I've gotten with
Corsair TWINX1024-3200LL matched pair.

BTW, as far as I can determine Bios 1008 is the latest official bios
for the -E mb.

Not a real happy camper at the moment.......

Same curious POST messages, so, I definitely disabled them
by the way of the BIOS setup...

Yeah, but not recently. Well, not since I turned the voice reporter off.
Found it to be somewhat annoying, as well as incorrect.
