Start by resetting to all defaults.. ;-) Many motherboards these days
support "unsafe" settings (overclocking, etc.) and warn you that you
can destabilize your board. If you, or anyone else, has ever tweaked
those it may be unstable. So try all defaults, or "safe settings" first
if you haven't already.
