the base peed being 216 is a clear case of overclocking, have u enabled auto overclocking or something, and as u have A8N-E i would suggest u overclock, u paid extra money for that board, use it well, and 3000+ is a hell of overclocker, if it is venice u have, i cant understand if u say it's 216 just randomly anytime.

I have not enabled O/C either in Bios or by using any utility of Asus or from others. That is why I wonder how it happens. Also the case was similar with the Transcend 512x2, 2.5,3,3,8 which I was using untill recently. Also I have enabled Cool and Quiet since I want the PC to be quiet. (Also using one Antec 120mm and two Vantec Stealth fans.) With C&Q the normal speed is 201x5=1005 and occasionally 216x5=1080.(But as you know it shoots to1809 or 1944 when Antivirus or Spybot is run) Dont I have to disable C&Q first to O/C?
I have never even installed a game and for the applications that I currently use, the speed is more than enough. I upgraded to A8N-E & 3000+ because my XP1600+ was more than 5 years old.
But as you suggested, I plan to do O/C since I have to do some editing with some videos that I have taken in Mini DV. But generally it is heard that Value Select doesn't permit much O/C.

A similar thing happened to my 2800+.........actually the culprit was MSI Core Center (I think)....
I had enabled C&Q from the BIOS and it used to run at 200*5=1000....
But Core Center Started comtrolling the FSB.....and the multiplier...
So it used to bring down the multiplier and pump up the FSB...and also the memory......and it made the comp really unstable.....And my cheap memory modules could not take that load so it used to crash.....
Ever since I left Core Center everything is fine....and stable.....so i think the culprit was Core Center....

I shall post CPUZ next time when the 216 MHz appears.
BTW in my case there is absolutely no stability problem and everything runs fine.
The chipset driver I am using is from Nvidia but the same thing happened even in my previous installation when I used the drivers from the Asus Mobo CD.

As suggested, I am posting the CPUZ reports

sorry but i still cant figure out the reason for this, have u installed any asus utilities or monitoring software that came along with the ASUS mobo, try uninstalling it, also does this happen when CnQ is off? if yes, go into BIOS and set the frequency manually to 200, dont leave it to auto, and then let me know if this still happens.
