Be aware, Intel indicates there is a latter BIOS update for your board.

Where? I couldn't find it.

Further tests I am currently doing seem to indicate there may be a problem with the BIOS

Even though I'm a bit apprehensive to do it, perhasps I'll flash the BIOS with the newer version.
(I did it once before - successfully - on another computer.)
BTW: If I screw up totally on flashing the BIOS, I understand that my computer is then only useful
as an anchor.
Is that true, or can some part be replaced?
I think I understand that the BIOS is software, but in which piece of hardware is it located?

Thanks for your insight!
