"That's the ticket", right?

Alrighty. then. I tried the battery/jumper-cap thingie with great success.
Booted right up, with obvious changes to BIOS and VGA buffers and all else.

Then I made a few of the various previously suggested BIOS changes with
which I felt comfortable and got 1 hr 15 minutes of good, vital work done.

I've had a few different troubles these past few days (months). Tonight I
have tried a various few fixes, and experienced some vexing troubles and
corresponding victories, but I haven't had time tonight to really
stress-test things. I'm not convinced that things are tight yet, as I've
been far too bedeviled in recent days to relax now without several
sessions-worth of hard use.

Gotta session off-site tomorrow (Swen's studio), so I'll be back on my own
rig Sunday (yay NFL football!).

I just want to thank everybody here for their sincere and dilligent efforts
in helping an ignernt fellow like myself. I wish I could make all of you a
big banquet dinner in thanks. I'm a damn fine cook, just not so much a damn
fine computer tech.

I figure I'll start a new thread if things aren't right yet. I got us off on
a defective-BIOS tangent there.....the rig did feel pretty good there for an
hour or so, though.....

Jimmy,

Glad you're getting this resolved. At your earliest opportunity, get rid of
that bios and go back to the one previous to the USB overcurrent warning.
Really man. That bios you're running right now is a disaster waiting for a
place to happen, and happen, and happen again.....I promise. It's going to
bite you at the worst time and you're going to have to continuously clear
the CMOS to get your machine to function as long as you're running that
bios. Nothing worse than a computer that won't boot.

Yeah, once you've had a crappy bios you won't do that mistake often.
It's miserable.

About 8 months ago I was going through this same thing with my ASUS A8V-Dlx
mobo. I must have cleared the CMOS about 20 times and I finally bought
another (identical mobo) thinking the board was defective. These mobo's were
discontinued, plentiful and cheap at the time and were the only ones around
(that I knew of) that would work with UAD-1 cards and dual core AMD CPU's.
Well the bios on the new mobo was an older revision and wouldn't support
dual core CPU's so I upgraded it to the *newest latest greatest* and the
same **** started happening. That's when I started getting pissed off and
figured out that I could flash to an older bios and make the problem go
away. I called ASUS and they wouldn't admit that their new *feature* was a
bug. It's the last ASUS mobo I'm gonna buy most likely, unless I have to go
there for compatibility reasons. Now that PCI has pretty much gone away,
it's going to take some major expense to upgrade my native rig because I'll
have to get a newer version of the Magma that can be used with PCIe. The
good news is that even with these new monster Intel processors, I'm sure
that the older dual/dualcore Opteron rigs will be affordable and work with
PCI based hardware so I'll still be able to crossgrade the hardware while
upgrading the OS to 64 bit. That oughta' hold me for a while longer. Right
now, I'm pretty happy with my AMD 64 4400 x 2 CPU running alongside Paris
during mixdown. As long as I'm tracking to Paris and don't have to have
higher sample rates, I'm good.

I hope Swen still has his floppy drive installed. I've got mine around here
