I too can vouch for this happening. I've been chasing it down and I

don't think its entirely the BIOS. I've tried two very similar machines

with AMI BIOS and AMD386 chips (33Mhz and 40Mhz). One one ctrl-alt-del

is fine (the DX40), the 33Mhz 386 however locks up solid. Interestingly

enough a ctrl-alt-del from windows 3 has the same effect.


I'm beginning to think its a chipset problem - unless you all happen

to have a WD8013EB card in the machines which lock up ?
