I'm suspicious of my Asus P7P55D motherboard. It seems just fine with Gentoo, and it has lots of tuning methods built in (over-clocking etc.). I've never used those facilities because the box is already quite fast enough for me and I value stability. But, as I've mentioned here recently, every other distro I've tried hangs randomly - even the live CDs. Someone on an Asus forum suggested I change from PS/2 to USB keyboard and mouse, but meanwhile I've tried switching various things off in the BIOS, and this may be working: I now get at least a few hours with "Asus Express Gate" switched off (whatever that is). I'm just one among many, of course. -- Rgds Peter
