i'm glad you got your problem resolved.
reading your post however, only reinforces my opinion that soyo boards should be avoided. IMO, soyo has seen their market share drop in the last couple of years...i don't have any hard numbers to back it up. just that i see fewer and fewer posts of people doing builds with their boards. that and fewer and fewer reviews from many tech sites as well.
it isn't that soyo makes bad boards...just that if you want a bargain board, there are others brands doing a much better job in that niche. and for those looking for a mid or high end board, there are other choices as well.
cheers.
