Rixed, that’s a nickname I hadn’t seen in a while (25 years?). You were on Eden BBS maybe? You contributed to Le Reporter didn’t you?

I agree (my fault, sorry) but the fact is that several people are encountering the exact same issue with a variety of motherboards. So either all those motherboards are "defective" or the problem is more complex than it looks. My
