Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

E4300
2x1Go PC5300 Crucial
LeadTek 7950GT 512 Mo
I've tried everything I have found on the net, everything but using an old PCI VGA card
What happens is once I exit the BIOS, the mobo powers off, then powers on, and then powers off...
