I had a similar problem with my 25Mhz 386AT one day. The problem turned out to be that something had corrupted my CMOS settings. What I did was go into the CMOS monitor program and play with the clock settings. At least on my machine, you are allowed to select sys clock, sysclock/2, or bus clock to run the bus and memory. You might try it.
