F2...

I'm running stock optimised bios settings.
With BIOS F1 I had to activate sound over HDMI, but with F2 it's now automatic.

In this PC I swapped the board (G35 based) using a 9400GT card for the
gigabyte 9400 based one ; the only thing I had to worry about is
changing the network configuration.
Absolutely everything worked out of the box with this board ; same for
getting nvidia drivers working.

Installed 180.29 and off I went

Sound like you have a lemon ...

I've been very happy with this board so far...
everything work perfectly.
