great suggestion I actually have those adapters...I didn't think of that. If this doesn't work...then I am going to proceed as a new build and get the MSI motherboard and see what happens. For years I haven't had any problems but over the last couple of years both ASUS and Gigabyte I think are slipping a little. The rock solid realiability just isn't what it used to be. Just my two cents from my many hours of spilled blood....
