They look okay, and fairly secure.

I have a feeling this is related to another issue I've had with this mobo. I
can't boot up a Linux CD. I get a bunch of "Buffer I/O errrors on device
fd0" before being dumped into initramfs. I managed to get rid of those by
turning off one of the BIOS settings, but all that did was dump me into
initramfs without the error messages. So I started over and installed from a
flash drive.

I think that's a clue.
