Hello Dominik
Here are some news:
Today I've written a mail to Medion where I asked for a new BIOS. But I have just a slight hope to get one. I will see and wait.
I changed two settings (self-explanatory) in the BIOS:
QuickBoot Mode = Disabled
Boot-time Diagnostic Screen = Enabled
Now I can see the following boot message from the BIOS directly after power on my notebook:
***********************************************************************
* *
* An incompatibility between the system and CPU FSB has been detected.*
* You have installed a faster CPU into a system incapable of running * * it as fast as the CPU is capable of. * * * * This CPU is not running at it's peak performance * * *
***********************************************************************
Maybe this is related to our problem? Meanwhile I guess that WindowsXP has the same problem, but I'm not able to verify it reliable.

This is very likely relate to our problem -- it basically tells us "the BIOS isn't really aware of the CPU and doesn't know how to handle it". Amazing the notebook got selled this way... So, any news from MEDION?
