Ok, while the rushed BIOS flash may not have helped the specific problem I was having, I did find the solution. The problem, as was suggested, was the fact I had not patched the copy I had of Battlefield 1942, the game that brought about my bringing the computer back to work. Sadly, the settings that the board found all by itself when I booted it up post flash were the same as when I originally got the system, and the problem of rebooting was quick to return. Thankfully, I was able to, upon reboot, clock the RAM down to the safer 133MHz, and go back to normal function. I am back online now, but didn't have time nor patience to blog, but the posts are drafted, and will be posted ASAP. Unfortunately ASAP is looking to be 2-3 days away.
On the upside, I was checking my webalizer stats and as you can see(scroll down a bit) this site has a new record for visitors in a day, and that is 1112, up from 1036 the month before and putting the month so far only a few hundred away from beating last month, on track for 23-25 thousand visitors. Sadly, the server only keeps the stats for 12 months available, and therefore the stats for my first few months are lost, ut I know that 800+ average visitors a day is a lot of visitors for one blog that is not even listed in most people's top 100. That honor is reserved for the likes of scripting.com, boing boing, and evhead. Well, I am off, but I will be sure to toss up something soon.
