hmmmm, sometimes stuff works fine, then you reboot, and it dont work.

think the problem can be traced back to me modding my case by putting castors on it. when i putth castorson, it pushed the tray my mobo sits on up slightly, and i think its bent the cards/board ever so slightly and thats whats causing the problem :(

am hoping a new board and new case will cure most of it, howver, i aint too hopefull at the mo

toodles and thanks :xsofa:
