Of course, the minute you mentioned a Softmenu-III board, the problem
was obvious :(

Call Abit and RMA the board.  it's defective--the problem is an
incompatiblity with the PWM voltage regulator and Geforce2 boards.
This was eventually acknowledged by Abit, and the newest revision
BE6-2 and BF6 (i believe, all boards made AFTER July '00) have fixed
this problem.
