Also, your screenshot shows BIOS 0401 while current is 2401 (oldest listed is 0603)?

I updated the BIOS and it did not go well. It makes it impossible to see SSD's and therefore ba-bye boot drive. So the only way around this is to get deep into the advanced mode and way inside there is a way to find the SSD and force it into the top position. But it completely disabled the EZ Mode in the BIOS.

And nothing has changed in regards to my other problems with this BIOS update.

Right now I have a PS/2 Mouse (talk about old technology) that just arrived in the mail and will see if it acts any nicer.

UPDATE: I spoke with a technical guy at NewEgg and he was MOST helpful. I am a lot further in my setup so many thanks to NewEgg.
