That's rather like a problem I had with a 286. It would happily run 
HIMEM and SMARTDRV when the turbo was on, and thus load the network 
drivers, but froze when it was booted at low speed when it hit the 
HIMEM command.

It's not very helpful, but I changed the motherboard to a 486 and it 
was happy again.
