Also FWIW, this does not seem to be a UEFI machine. The BIOS seems to work just like all the old BIOSs from before, with text windows and arrow-key cursor selections - no GUI, no mouse.I've seem UEFI boot machines which do not appear to have anything other than a text BIOS screen, so may be worth double checking for a 'legacy' or similar boot BIOS option...
Yeah, I looked but no "Legacy" option or anything similar.I've just about given up. Found a local distributor that has all of the components I need for a clean build in a new box. It will have an Intel i5-4640, so not quite as energy efficient as I would like, but at least it should boot. :)
