I didn't replace my motherboard, I changed CPU's, but perhaps more importantly, removed my network adapter. I have not put the network adapter back in the system, because I don't really need Ethernet connectivity for a system that old, so I cannot say for sure that there wasn't some conflict between the GUS and the network adapter. Although, for a while they coexisted harmoniously and the problem only "suddenly appeared".
