2 recommendations.

Balance both sides of the output molex plugs from your power supply. It has
at least 2 sides.

If you use some form of power removal from the entire PC while its off (good
idea), energize this for at least 30 seconds before turning on the PC.

Firmware is not the same as drivers

IF you're going to reply to me, reply to my post. Not your own post. Then,
I'll consider a reply.

I didnt reply to you, until now, and the contents of my reply (the msg I
replied to) shows that.
If I had replied to you your msg would have been topmost as it is here.

You obviously are unaware of the thread hierarchy in usenet. I wasn't
addressing you at all.
