Hi, Will,
Yes, these changes do seem to work, but my motherboard didn't need them
until about the 5th day I was running it. Makes me wonder what changed. In
any event, there is good coverage of the BIOS displays in the User's Guide,
so on page 42 for the first step, the "Power Management Setup" display shows
the "Power Management Option" as [User Defined] which is what we want. Then
to the bottom "IRQ/Event Activity Detect" press <enter>. That puts us on
page 44, where we go to the bottom "IRQs Activity Monitoring" and press
<enter>. That brings up the display on page 45 where there are 7 IRQs
[Enabled] which need to be changed to [Disabled]. Your instruction, Will,
certainly gets us there, but I thought I'd describe it in terms of the
User's Guide to make it just a little clearer and easier for newbies like me
to dig into it.
Thanks for your help,
Chuck
