To clarify, I believe the BIOS issue is isolated to the USB keyboard and USB mouse being plugged into the upper two USB ports on the motherboard itself. I did reflash the BIOS to version 2333, and then back to version 2395, but this did not solve the problem as the BIOS continued to lock up...

I must extend my utmost thanks to moosey at the Anandtech forums (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=29&threadid=1981009&enterthread=y). So far, it seems that he is correct about a USB keyboard causing this problem. I disconnected both my USB keyboard and USB mouse and plugged...

I was a little unsure by what you meant specifically, but if you were referring to performing a BIOS recovery as described in the manual, I did not attempt that yet as I thought it was a little excessive if the procedure has to be repeated for every BIOS update. Could you be a little more...

This issue isn't a system-breaking problem as the PC runs flawlessly in games and has not crashed or given me a BSOD once, but I am just concerned for the overall health of my new system. I have read that thread vanilla_guerilla, and pretty much anything and everything else related to the...

A few days ago I built a new PC with the D975XBX2 motherboard. I booted up initially and flashed the BIOS to version 2333, which was the latest at the time, and have since flashed to the most recent version 2395. The system (E6600 CPU, 2GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5 RAM, WD 250GB HD, X-Fi...
