Everything is set to Auto in the BIOS, so I can only assume that the board is doing something screwy since I can't actually see the settings. I can force it to work by using the manual settings, but when I switch it back to Auto it doesn't work. I've seen the failsafe thing before also, but that's not what's happening here. It seems like a BIOS issue. > Then maybe it is time for a new mobo. If the performance changes with no hardware changes then it seems something is starting to fail. Motherboards are cheap nowdays, with only the higher end boards being over $100. Many are in the $30 - $50 price range.
