> We have a similiar problem here: Asus SP3G-II (Neptune II chipset), 810, Quantum Fireball, but I'm not sure it is related to the 810 in any way. > > It hangs sometimes on reboots, after clearing the screen. However, when it does, it corrupts the BIOS nvram, so I have to re-enter all BIOS settings :-( > Same problem here: I issue a 'reboot' (or a 'shutdown -r') command. Disk synchs up. Screen goes black. Machine is dead. When I do a cold boot the BIOS nvram is hosed.
