I _guess_ so, but it seems strange to me for several reasons. I have
not changed BIOS settings or upgraded the BIOS since the days when
this was working flawlessly. Also, as I asked in my 3rd post (which
you may not have seen yet), does it make sense that the BIOS setting
would be changing rapidly? Seems to me to point more to acpi or
something, but I'm not sure where to look yet.
