So the bum VGA did something to your mobo?
Yes. Well, not physically, but it does seem to have introduced some BIOS corruption. However, that's not the VGA itself.. it's the driver crashing that does it. The how or why, I am not sure, and will have to get ASUS to look into this.
However, the driver crashing on the good card, when pushed too far, will do the same thing, although this one crash messed things up in BIOS far worse than I have experienced before.
For example:
Now, I can reset BIOS. CPU voltage does not get reset. Multiplier does not get reset. I can change options in BIOS, they will save, and when I enter the BIOS, they will appear to have taken, but go back into Windows, and no settings have changed.
What is going foul here, I have no idea. Other boards will have the BIOS reset form time to time, but nothing like what's going on on this MVF.
