Funny you should mention this.  I had a monitor failure a few weeks 
ago and had to reboot and I ended up with the same message the odd 
time.  I never thought much of it as the monitor problem was #1 
priority.  I have the same board as you.  I am going to check the ASUS 
WWW site for a bios update before anything else.

I am about to put a new UPS on the system so I will check it as well.
