You'll notice, in another post I announced that problem may have |
| 24 |
unexpectedly sidestepped. |

Thanks, when this roles around again sometime I'll have some idea what |
| 32 |

I'll say though, and as reported in OP, I once had a very similar |
| 35 |
problem that turned out to be a simple bio setting. It was not so |
| 36 |
simple to find the setting, but still just a matter of enabling or |
| 37 |
disabling something.... I hope I find my old notes soon. |

I was hoping someone might recognize the problem and be able to |
| 40 |
remember the bios item[s] |
