Well talking to myself here.... It appears this is a timing chipset and it looks like it may be related to the IDE controller. ??? I'm not sure yet if I have a chip failing yet or not. I just changed some cmos settings and it still hangs in expert mode, and it refuses to do an update. I'm trying a fresh install and it "appears" to be ging fine so far. ?? Weird!!
