You might try down-clocking the processor in the BIOS.
That might not work well..
Had a power event here a few days ago, and my Linux PC just turned off..
No biggie, powered it back up, and it crashed..
Uh Oh..
Was having random hangs on the way up, although sometimes it would boot all the way up and work..
Figured the power hit damaged the MB...
Then, during one of the reboots, I noticed that it said 1500...
1500? It's not a 1.5Ghz, it's a 2.1Ghz..
So I check, and the BIOS was back to defaults... (slowest CPU clocking)
Set it back to where it should be, 2100, and it's booted fine ever since..
So downclocking might not be very stable...
