They were similar, though this time there was mention of CAM in them (which I
assumed was the result of using the CAM interface). The trouble is they roll
by quite fast and I'm unable to stop them from scrolling.

If this wasn't my most critical system I'd try debugging it more, but I really
can't afford for this machine to be out of service. I was hoping that someone
with one of these same motherboards:

http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Motherboards/db-d525mw/D525MW-overview.htm

in a less critical situation might have also seen the problem and been able to
do more debugging of it than I am inclined to.
