WHat parameters does the BIOS offer for it, and which have you
selected?
I've had that same problem a few times, and each time, it's occurred
when I've selected some setting other than the one the BIOS
recommends, and does NOT occur when I accept the BIOS recommended
setting...
In theory, that should make no difference whatsoever, but in
practice...
Best wishes from Riley.
