I have gotten this motherboard to be quite stable thus far. I did have this video blank issue occuring with the DVI port coming out of standby - where the CRT port would always work.

Anyway, I found that the A04 bios is the culprit. Going back to my "saved" A03 is all around better. Faster POST as well since it does not have the AHCI bios loader crap that is in A04.

Multiple reboots and going in and out of standby seem to be working well... (knock on wood). No more problems with lost video...

I am attaching a zip file with an "unflash.bat" file that I ran to "unflash" back to A03 (booting off of a USB flash drive created using the HP format tool and an image of Win98 DOS). The file called "old.bin" is the bios image that I saved prior to flashing to A04 (it is A03 dated 10/2007)
