When I upgraded to the qq bios, the frequency dropped to a couple every 20
to 30 mins until I kicked of a backup, then they jumped to near the
previoius levels. Prior to this I was noticing them in flurries of 12 - 20
every 2 to 5 minutes.
As to temps, at 550Mhz and under heavy load, I was seeing CPU temps as high
as 37 (one is consistently ~1.5 higher than the other. System temps are
consistently ~2.5 - 3.0 higher than the higher CPU. This morning when I left
for work, temps were 28.5 & 30.0 - system was idling and running 366Mhz.
Alarms on all three are set at 50, and nary a peep.
Also, I noticed last night that the machine did not want to power down down
unless I killed it from the back of the machine. This is new behavior
subsequent to the qq flash. I also noticed that the LVD drives are getting
reported as Ultra2/SE all of a sudden during the initial bootup, even though
there have been no physical changes to the machine. This is a real mystery.
Now that I am running at spec, it will shut down and turn off correctly at
any rate. I am running a TNT2 vid card - I'll swap it out & see if I notice
a difference - assuming that I am continuing to get APIC errors.

You sure ? I'm getting an APIC error about every 30 mins or so. It's
2x400Mhz, not overclocked at all. The machine isn't very stressed - every
ten mins or so, I'd do a big parallel make, but that wouldn't take more
than a minute.
wmbp6 reckons that the CPUs are running at 31/31.5C, case internal is
38C. That said, I never saw these till I stuck in a TNT2 video card.
Wonder could they be power related...
