Andy received the power supply Friday, and will start work on it Monday.

Hope this is the right forum!

Here are the pics. Nothing in the BIOS from what I can see…in Device Manager, do I disable the HID compliant mouse?

I tried, using what was available in the BIOS, but I still have that stupid cursor drift issue. :(

Found software to measure CPU temperatures. Here’s a pic…

Any thoughts on the cursor drift? It’s a bit annoying.

I might see if I can contact him within the week!
