Thanks BenchZowner for the voltage read points and thanks webwilli for the chart

....big snip....To make matters worse when I use my BFG 8800 GTX GPU to boot into the BIOS or Windows to update BIOS from the version 0402 that the mobo shipped with I am told that, ”ROM ID in the file is incompatible with the existing BIOS"? The only too available ROM versions are 0508 & 0601.bin, neither of which seem to be compatible with the currently installed version 0402. So I’m caught in a loop, anyone got any ideas as to what the hell is going on?....big snip....

I, at the direction of others here (you should read this thread from the beginning, it's not sadistically long yet, and there's some good info....not a dig, just a suggestion, I know you're frustrated....I am too, having RAM problems....anyway), I had to use awardflash to flash the 0511 and 0601 BIOS the "old fashioned" way.

NEVER use the windows flash utility.

Can't help you on the other stuff. Sorry and good luck.
