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.
Check your serial port (COM port) settings in the motherboard BIOS. Sounds like you may have accidentially set both ports to the same address or accidentially set the parallel (printer) port to the same address.
If you don't use the serial ports on your computer I'd recommend disabling them.
