David,

Have you tried any other anti virus apps (McAfee, Norton AV) for CMOS
viruses? Your other post of losing cmos settings could be battery (which
you replaced) problem or cmos virus. Boot from floppy (write protected)
then use McAfee or NAV. 
Virus won't cause H/W problems(..PRIME95  reports  of  possible 
hardware errors. Is this virus a possible culprit?) but can make system
do H/W funny type of stuff. or check out Symantec's site for Q & A's
http://www.sarc.com/

Good luck
Ron Woods
