Unfortunately no luck with that.
I'll try to upgrade the BIOS and see if that bring anything.
If not, than this mainboard goes in the bin as I've about had it with this
board (too many problems and it's already the 2nd board because the first
one I owned didn't boot at all).

Well, flashing the BIOS did the trick for the powersaving. It works well now.

btw: for those Linux-only users who need to flash the bios, this may come
handy :

For those without a floppy disk drive, you can make your own bootable CD and
add some files to that :

$mount ubcd.iso tmp/ -o loop
$cp -R tmp/* bootdisk/
$cp -R filedir bootdisk/
$cd bootdisk/
$mkisofs -N -J -D -V "UBCD" -o /home/me/flashcd.iso -b boot/loader.bin
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 .

I saw some messages about long file names, but at least it booted and worked
for me. I simply ignored the messages as I have no idea how to solve it.

Marcel
