841230 2009-12-20 06:46:00 BIOS update might work. I'll try that next. But how can it explain the system being all good for a month, then suddenly came along this problem? qazwsxokmijn (102)
841231 2009-12-20 06:49:00 Anything's possible :p But as 1602 says compatibility with some memory,which may or may not fix the prob with the ram youre using Speedy Gonzales (78)
841232 2009-12-20 10:34:00 To be fair it probably isn't the BIOS, I would blame the overheating CPU and overworked PSU first Agent_24 (57)

You reckon that could be it?

841234 2009-12-20 13:43:00 I find it hard to say for sure but we know the PSU is underpowered and cheap, we know the CPU heatsink wasn't attached properly, both those are bad and you are having problems with the board appearing to be faulty (some RAM slots and USB ports not working properly)

BIOS\RAM incompatibility could explain the RAM slot problem BUT why only now and not from the outset?
And it doesn't explain 1 USB port acting strange

By all means give the BIOS upgrade a try but it sounds like the board will probably have to be RMA'd
