I'd say that you having to increase that RAM speed is what's causing it. Are you sure your motherboard supports DDR400 RAM? If it doesn't, then that could cause issues. I'd try putting a different stick of RAM in it.

I just checked the info on your mobo, and it does support PC3200. But you still shouldn't have to increase the RAM speed like that; it should autodetect it.

Is the motherboard still in its RMA period? I'd seriously RMA the bitch back and get an ABit NF7-S Rev 2.0 motherboard. It doesn't have on-board video, but you won't find a better Athlon XP motherboard out there.
