Hi,

I have a AMD Athlon 2800+ processor and ASUS KS8MX mother board.
The computer starts normally, when I restart the computer, the
BIOS screen shows "CPU Over voltage. Press F1 to Resume".
This happens even when I restart immediately after booting up.
ASUS Probe shows the CPU is operating normally.
What shoud I do ?

Yor default voltage is set something high and arbitrary.... just change voltage in BIOS or load defaults if u dunno how to change...
BTW ur cpu is functioning normally and it is not working at those high voltage because it was not possible to se that voltage... and same is the reason for that message...

Check properly if there is any over heating, and if not then you can you can switch of the CPU voltage check from the bios

OR

Check the DIP switches if they are maching your configuration, verify it from your manual !!!
