You know I had this kind of problem on a brand X (unkown and not here AMI
bios) 386 except that firing up windows in the slow speed caused it to lock 
up. Couldn't even warm boot. It would just dit and beep at you. If you 
switched back to high speed it would work. Disabling the hardware switch
fixed this also.
