Thanks Steven,

My question is: I went thru CMOS with a fine tooth comb. I set and reset
everything in CMOS I could find (except for the date). I even tried
"normal" as well as "optimal" settings. Could it be that the anti virus
program checks the date to see how old the program is? I know IBM
antivirus used to do that and send a message if you were more than seven
months behind.

Here the program would have been in the future, and I wonder if that could
have caused the Trap 0008?

What do you think?
