Well, let me just preface this by saying that I'm a computer user with
decades of experience and have updated my BIOS dozens of times before.
 However, when I recently tried to resolve this issue by updating my BIOS I
mis-typed the downloaded filename while using the AWDFLASH utility.
 AWDFLASH hosed my BIOS and the board won't post.  I had to order a new
motherboard after trying to clear the CMOS for well over an hour with no
luck.  I think it would be a mistake to officially recommend a BIOS update
to even the experienced user due to the severity of screwing up.  I'm still
waiting for my replacement mobo to arrive.
