Doh! That just hit me a while ago. I was coming online to point out the
obvious to my own post.

Okay... thanks muchly for the tips Raymond. I'll give it a go.... tho' I
think I'm going to wait a few more days to do the test. I still haven't
come up for any explaination on why it happens... but for some reason if I
just let the #*%! MB sit for a few days unconnected to any power source,
sometimes it ends up booting the next time I power it on. I'm going to try
the F12 approach of flashing the BIOS if I can get the system to respond on
the next 1st boot.
