Reply #11: Well, as already mentioned, if it ain't broke... [View All]

but having said that, I'll admit to being the first in line to try to fix unbroken things, usually with success, sometimes not so much.

For years and years I would play with my BIOS with impunity, I never understood what the big fear was. In fact, as far as the BIOS settings go, I still feel that way. Flashing, however, has it's risks. Even so, I flashed and flashed and flashed many times before I ever had a problem, but when I finally *did* have a problem, it took my BIOS chip with it and I've never been able to recover it (yet--although I did finally acquire a second mobo with the same chipset so when I get around to it, I may try to reanimate it; if you have a second nearly-identical mobo on hand, you can play without worrying as much)
