Well, regardless of what happens, this is my last hurrah. I'm going to get the most out of this hardware before calling it quits with PC gaming.

Ultimately, I never really understood why I spend the money on it. This current PC of mine I bought purely for gaming. I almost didn't go through with it. I don't think I will be replacing it once it goes or gets too old. It may be especially the case now that I have a PS3.

I guess this is why I want the motherboard to be okay.

Considering what's happened, I doubt it has to do with the BIOS. But who knows? Like I said, I don't really know what it is or what it does. Though I'm a bit familiar with hardware conflicts and system buggery.

Don't go out of your way just for this. Although I was really looking forward to playing Age of Conan at setting higher than "low," I can wait. I still have Dragon Age, the Witcher, and L4D2 single player mode, not to mention about six titles I'm working on, on the PS3.

If you'd come over next weekend, that would be great. We can do our guitar thing once you take a few minutes to run through some troubleshooting.
