Thanks for this additional input.

Rather than reload the mobo bios, I rebuilt my machine (about three
weeks ago) using a new mobo, cpu, etc, etc: after all the old one was
old(ish).  So I cannot comment on whether a bios upgrade would have
cured the problem, sorry.

For what it's worth the new config seems fine and here is stuff from
current sysinfo:
