All you peoples who do refurbishments and such, what is your gut

Sounds like a fried BIOS maybe? Does this Gigabyte board of yours come
with dual BIOS chips or something?


No - the same model but with a few more thingies does have dual-bioses,
but not this one (GA-7N400-L).

Anyway, went interstate yesterday, dropped in to my favourite shop to
get some additional RAM and casually asked if there was a mobo lying
around at the back of the workshop which would replace my (assumed)
fried Gigabyte mobo. As it happened, there WAS a working pre-loved, top
of the range, ASUS mobo at the back which would replace my (assumed)
non-working mobo - but which would also give me better performance.

Tonight the old Gigabyte mobo, with it accoutrements, was removed and
the new ASUS will go in tomorrow.

Pictures are 11.
