Do I have to set the FSB or something?

I have finally solved it - basically there was a second 4 pin ATX 12v power
plug I didn't plug in - doh! What's worse is that if I had done this first
time round I may not have had any reason to remove my 3.0ghz cpu causing it
to be damaged. 2-29 in the manual in case anyone's interested.

Could be a failing or low quality (unstable) power supply unit.
