<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">I had another thought. Last resort, and a wild thought at that, you could gently remove the heat sink and remove the CPU and check for bent or broken pins on the CPU. Do NOT pull up on the heat sink without releasing the CPU latch (which is almost impossible) or you WILL bend the pins. I did that once and had to spend an hour with tweezers fixing the pins to avoid wrecking a $ 250 chip. You could also have a defective CPU, or memory.<br>

<div>I think I've got some other problems now. I had updated the BIOS and now the PCIe bus is hosed so I only have 1 slot working that's on the PCI bus. Both ethernet ports are gone and it's now failing Memtest86+ miserably where it ran it fine before the flash update. I can't find a way to use the previous version. Doesn't MSI have that capability of Dual BIOS? I though I saw something to that affect, but can't find it.</div>

<p>Either that, or you're just really lucky and have found two boards that vexpose a bug in the kernel. I'd say its time to go a-huntin'...</p></blockquote>
<div>That would be my luck,,,, I am going to try flashing my BIOS, as near as I can tell I do have an older version. MSI's site is kinda cryptic, but it sounds like the newer version is processor centric, so I'll pass on the info. <br>
