Correction to my mail -- the OP states his problem is with a MSI Neo-F P35, not a Gigabyte board. I'm not sure where I got Gigabyte from... Someone may want to involve MSI in this ordeal. Their generic technical support team probably won't be of much assistance; we'd need to find someone in Taiwan who is more familiar with the engineering side of things. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
