Ha!
Clearing the CMOS helped in Adko's case with the random reboots too. I
have to make a mental note to myself to tell people to first clear their
CMOS when they're reporting strange issues related to BIOS.
Btw, I'll chalk this to whatever the monkeys have been smoking at the
time they've been writing your BIOS. Boy, if I could get a cent for
every BIOS bug out there...
Great, one more bug fixed. Thanks.
