not sure if somebody still wants to hear about this but it is kind of interesting I guess for my understandings in first place the MB and Bios is most important thing and there are vendor bios out which say they support the higher freq CPUs but certainly they don't or at least not all of them even so I gut freezes on all kind of combinations and seems that xorg and it's video drv are kind of very sensitive to certain settings, also with glx and dri disabled I still got freezings sooner or later I got a new monitor this days and that brought the real stuff up, seems that xorg is not liking when the HorizSync and VertRefresh rates are not 100% correct and what then cause the kill. In order to doublecheck this I took my old monitor back with correct settings and i got no further freezes either with any of the CPU/MB combinations I tested before. I have an LCD which can 1280x1024 at 75hz , the former could 1024x768 at 75hz and with both it works now fine with VertRefresh 50-100 HorizSync 31.5 - 82.0 before I had VertRefresh 50 - 90 HorizSync 30 - 75 one thing more I did which caused a sysctl error on boot. There is a funny line in /etc/rc.s/power_profile as 'highest_value="C1"' which I commented out but I guess that has nothing to do since the setting was not accepted anyway xorg seems to have problems when enabling DPMS and returns wrong values. The vesa driver seems to work better or is less sensitive than sis and nv and ati but with the correct monitor rates all are working fine. well, I believe that's it because I have now two different MATX MBs running 24h with Athlon 5000 without any problem, since friday night -- João A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
