If so, try disabling it. I have known this cause problems (on other boards - no experience with this one). Quick Boot seems to do a quick and dirty setup and doesn't fully initialise all of the devices. This may be why you are seeing it boot OK if you remove the power - the devices then either get reset to their default states or the BIOS has to set them up. Regards, Richard
