Ah, you mention uGuru so you're overclocking it. Looks like you
overclocked it a bit too much and may have fried the chipset or your
RAM.

I think you've just been taught a lesson.

As a Brit I'd like to thank the Americans for their help in the war
against terror because if they'd not funded the IRA for 30 years, we
wouldn't know how to deal with terrorists.

I wouldn't trust anything that is marketed like this:
ABIT ?Guru is a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers for
use only on ABIT motherboards and which allows end-users to reach a
higher state of hardware awareness and enlightenment.

I'm guessing that the software is automatically overclocking, changing
voltages, etc and your system can't handle it. Then when you reboot it
still can't handle those settings. On the second reboot your BIOS
notices this and tells you to use the default settings (ones that
apparently work). Then you run this application again starting the
whole cycle over.

It doesn't sound like a BIOS issue at all. Just don't use that program.
It could also just be a bug with that particular version.
