Sorry, it really looks like a hardware problem so I don't think there's anything I can do to help you. As I suggested before, try upgrading the BIOS to the latest version available. If it doesn't help, your best chance is to report the problem to the board manufacturer, but as this is an old board, odds are they won't give it a damn. -- Jean Delvare
