Sounds like a power problem. Perhaps bad electrolytic capacitors. Check the caps near the CPU socket to see if any are bulged, and/or have discoloration on the tops and/or bottoms.

Thanks ICee.
I inspected the caps, and it they look very suspicious. I had the board delivered with a PIII-933 and it wouldn't boot. Put in a cely 900 and it booted, but I got the reboot problem instead. Furthermore the MB sometimes doesn't recognise the CD-ROM player and sets the clock to 99Mhz instead of 100. My guess is that these problems all come from the bad caps. I will replace the bad caps. Is there a specific brand/type I should use?

Adrian Yes, there is a specific brand/type that is used, although I'm not sure what it is. The web site I pointed you to for the picture is run by a guy who frequents these NG's. He repairs MB's with bad caps, with an average turn around time of 1 to 2 days. He also has premade capacitor kits for various MB's, if you would like to 'DIY'. Here's the kit: http://www.motherboardrepair.com/index.php?sec=capkit and, if you want him to do the work, just check at the home page: http://www.motherboardrepair.com/index.php?sec=home I have not used his service, but I have seen posts from many satisfied customers in the Abit and overclocking NG's. Good luck.

That's great news! The SE6 lives again! Thanks for the update. "ICee" wrote in message ... adjev wrote: Thanks ICee. I inspected the caps, and it they look very suspicious.
