boot problem with A7V266-C

Hi there,

I am having problems with my A7V 266-C system. Does anyone have any
clue what might be the problem:


System fails to boot up at times. No beeps and Monitor does not turn
on. My 2 Cdroms(IDE1 slave and IDE2 Master) turn on and their LEDs
keep on flashing.

This happens randomly - at least once a week.
Most of the time, I open the casing, check if everything is alright
and turn the system on again without touching anything and all is back
to normal.
When I boot the system after this problem, it automatically shows the
bios settings which are set back to default and have to change the CPU
speed from 1050Mhz to 1400Mhz (AthlonXP 1600+)

I have been using the current configuration without any modification
for the last year.

Thanks
