Starving 125 mhz to 600 mhz for battery conservation

Then I broke the USB connector on my phone and sent it back to Nokia for in Warranty repair/replacement.

My brand new/refurb? N900 I received as a replacement reboots within seconds if I run ULV, XLV, Ideal, or Starving! I have settled on:
LV 125 to 805 mhz for primary profile
LV 125 to 600 mhz mode for battery conservation

Device reboots if I take the LV up to 1000 mhz so I have:
LV 500 to 900 mhz for more speed
Default 500 to 1000 mhz for max speed

I am still fine tuning but I must say I am a little disappointed this device is not as stable at even Ideal voltages. My battery life isnt quite the same as my original device.

This brings up a question: My old device was used for months before overclocking and undervolting. Maybe this one will get better after some use? Do the chip sets "break in" after some useage?
the exact thing happened to me. My older unit would do ulv 500 to 1000 or ideal the new one I recieved from nokia reboots above anything lv, maybe its power kernel version related?
