Also, it picks up my e8400 at 2.04 GHz even though thermal management options are not showing in BIOS, which is the least of my worries, but most options in the bios do not have an "enabled" options showing.

So weird, and I loved this board but I am about to snap both my dead ip-35s in half at this point.

Edit: found a native ps/2, and with all sata drives disconnected, I was able to work at the command line, and flash the BIOS back to 16. Great success!
looking at your specs in your above post i see a mulitude of hard drives attached...i've heard a few instances of people having trouble with the Raptor drives geting recognized...might want to try swapping out sata cables to see if the helps.

you do know that there is an "OS" or "BIOS" option setting for the USB mouse and keyboard...i would put those two into the "BIOS" mode 24/7
