EP45-DS3L: Reboot Loop?

Sometimes - not always - this board gets into some kind of loop
where the GigaByte splash screen shows, then it starts booting
again... showing the splash screen again... and booting again.

Can be provoked reliably by plugging a USB drive into the front
panel.

Without the USB device on the front panel, it happens sometimes,
doesn't happen other times.

And sometimes it cycles through a couple of iterations and then
starts Windows.

Bad connection?
Something loose somewhere?

Anybody been here?

Pete,

I recall reading seeing a thread discussing this situation. The fix was to
flash to the latest Gigabyte bios
