It's now been a month since I flashed the bios & win 7 is running like a bought one .... many thanks for your efforts.................
Added SLIC modded bios for Gigabyte EP45-UD3P rev. 1.x, Bios version F10 forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/7500-All-Slics-2.1-(Modded-Bios-List)-Note-For-requests-use-Bios-Mod-Requests-section?p=292299#post292299
