Darren,

My response assumes that this has happened since the board was first used.
I suggest that there is a problem with either the BIOS chip, or the software
itself.  First, flash the BIOS, even if the flash is the same revision that
currently resides in it.  If flashing the BIOS does not work, the only other
thing I can think of that will fix it is to replace the BIOS chip, which
could be more trouble than it is worth.  See if you can get AOpen to
exchange the board on warranty.  Hope this helps.

Kyle
