No, I don't think I had CONFIG_USE_OPTION_TABLE before, so when I enabled the 
"Use CMOS for configuration values" I suspect it did change all sorts of 
settings.

Thank you for confirming 1.5V is ok, it's much appreciated.

Unfortunately I have had no joy in getting this system stable when I have 
enabled "Use CMOS for configuration values". I have tried it with and without 
the "Load default Configuration values into CMOS on each boot" option.
I have also used a range of permutations of the cmos.default file, beginning 
with the original default and extending to modifying some of the options 
Taiidan indicated worked fine for him (memory_speed_boost, 1394 controller and 
SATA ALPM).
I am flashing the BIOS with my beaglebone and am ensuring the CMOS is reset on 
the board before every boot with a new BIOS.
Each time it either resets halfway through booting Qubes (before getting to the 
disk unlock screen), or if I take my SSD out, it hangs in memtest after 3 or 4 
seconds.

I am wondering if I have somehow selected some other incompatible option 
alongside the "Use CMOS for configuration values".
I have attached a text file with an overview of all the options I have selected 
with the nconfig utility, on the off-chance someone spots something I have done 
wrong. I have also attached the cmos.default file  in case it is helpful.

Kind regards,

Pete
