When I switched Motherboards, I had some problems with some jumpers. I think one possible cause for this is having the power-save feature for a CPU turned on when you don't have a power-save feature on your CPU. Also, there were some CPU/Bus speed jumpers that had two positions that made sense for my configuration, but one did this, and the other didn't.
