Looks like steinie (JRS) is the genius, certainly not me. I'm not 100% sure, but I just did a test after setting the main bios options to halt for no errors. It didn't have a selection for halt on all except video. I'll do a more thorough test tomorrow, but this looks really good to me. I did not think that the MB would halt on a monitor not being present after fulling booting into XP. Sheesh.

Most I have seen are set to just stop on Keyboard errors only..

Yours could be set to stop on all errors?


Well, the monitor issue is still open. Tried all sorts of keyboard combinations to no avail. I really don't understand why either the MB or the OS would suspend or just halt with no monitor seen.
