Hello All,

I am having trouble with the set6x86 program to "halt" the cpu on IDLE.
It seems I get a lot of crashes (system restarts) when this is invoked.

I could be working away normally - then bingo - the screen goes blank
and the PC reboots.

Is there a difference between a IBM and Cyrix 686. Mine is labelled as a
IBM 686 p150+ 120mHz

The obvious answer is not to use the program - but - what results have
other people found?

Thanks,
Col.
