I've experienced them myself. Anyways, I just put in a new ASUS CUV4X-D motherboard, BIOS revision 1004. Once installed, I ran into a raft of problems when IO-APIC was enabled... and discovered that ASUS had a BIOS update (revision 1007) available. Once the BIOS was updated and MPS 1.4 support was disabled, everything has been working fine, including USB with IO-APIC enabled. I also don't seem to be getting the timer problem anymore. Anyways, if you have one of these boards, you may want to flash your BIOS and see if the problems are fixed. YMMV, but it worked for me. John
