I've sent an e-mail to ASUS. Asked them what the resistor did or controlled and is it paramount to the boards working. Asked about warranty too, just in case they are sympathetic, no crossed fingers though why should they be!

The fan plugged into that connector near the broken resistor is running OK as far as I can tell, latest BIOS '0702' was flashed in a well over a week or so ago so lucky in that respect. Chassis intrusion is always off so will never use that jumper, so if it's something to do with that then I can live without it!

Apart from that one problem not had anything go wrong since. Tried about 45mins on GTA: San Andreas and game ran fine and general windows functions are running OK as are all the programs I usually run, so can only hope it's not as serious a problem as first imagined.

So just have to wait for ASUS to reply now!
