In your shoes I would start changing BIOS options one at a time - anything that might have an effect like ACPI, memory holes, making sure plug 'n' play is off. I'm no expert on that kind of thing. If no-one here has any better ideas then you could also try re-posting on the freebsd-hardware list and see if anyone there can help. You could also check that there is no newer BIOS for the mobo. hth, --Alex
