Aight, this is my 2nd one of these boards. The first one died for no reason at all, and this one was giving me a whining sound by the capaciters by the PS/2 ports. I disconnected my fans temporarily to see if it was the fans, no go, and it was definately coming from that area.

So I try to update the bios to see if thats the problem, and it hangs while updating (booting from floppy). I wait 20 min or so, nothing. I turn it off, turn it back on, and the bios freezes at "6d" (LED indicator).

I clear cmos, remove battery, remove extra stuff, try it again a few times, still hangs at the same spot.

So I guess the bios is messed up on this one? Any help or should I get a replacement (gonna get the DFI when it comes out...but I need a computer!)? Couldn't stand the whining noise anyway, it got quite loud sometimes (whenever some cpu intensive type thing came up it whined, and no it wasn't the hard drive)
