I have seen this behavior when one of those was fried by such. Otherwise, I agree with Rick, it sounds like something is wrong with the motherboard. Have you checked all the jumpers to be sure one isn't set incorrectly for your situation. Usually, they are listed in the MB manual and the selection position and its meaning are described. Perhaps one came off inadvertently or wasn't put on. Maybe you got a returned board, that when they tested it showed good, so they just put it back in inventory, but there is a flaw in it. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
