Sounds a bit like the mobo on my current main system - a GA-785GMT-UD2H. Not sure how old it is - it has an Athlon X-III and DDR3 ram, but it keeps on forgetting its settings at boot (resetting to default), and I gave up updating gentoo, because when I retired my Athlon Thunderbird system, I could no longer get the updates to run without crashing. It's crazy - I used to cross-compile on the Thunderbird, just to get it to build successfully!!! I've now got a new system to replace it, but that's still a project... Cheers, Wol
