@ klx300r: Please be so kind as to update this thread though and let us know what the problem
was  :-)

@ F0LLET: Just curious... so you're saying the board and CPU are not overclocked via the
traditional means(multiplier jumpers)?  I'm not saying this is the issue for sure, just wondering
if the 800mhz CPU "chip" is of a different mil spec that allows for easier/more successful &
cooler overclocking or what.

of course I will :-)...amiga.org has helped me out tremendously with all my classic hardware & I hope to get this issue solved soon to help out other future Sam owners with the same problems

Thanks, I saw post #8 after, . This thread has gone off on a tangent regarding overclocked CPU's.

On the CPU subject I will say this,
I have setup alot of 800MHz SAM MB's and never once had 1 single problem. Every sam gets at least 6 Hours testing.

ticket sent at amigakit.com..here's hoping for a quick & easy solution :-)

Check your ticket, try that and see how you go.

Let me know what happens.

The CPU is embedded and designed to run cooler. The 733MHz, only gets to 34.4 Degs C, and thats with it running all day. The 800MHz was around 34 to 35 Degs C.

PROBLEMS SOLVED !!!! Yahoooo....did 2 things..1-i noticed the jumper on the back of my hd was loose..so i replaced it with a tighter one and 2- i replaced my LG DVD with a new LiteOn DVD & works like a charm :-)...
(...seems my Sam didn't like 2 new LG DVD drives so I would stay away from them if your'e thinking of getting one for your Sam)

thanks to AmigaKit for the support!!!
