Default PCI-PCI Bridge re-install on every cold boot
My Avast stopped flagging the BIOS update for the PT890T-A motherboard as a trojan, so today I downloaded and installed the ECS 070807 BIOS, then updated to the latest driver versions from the ECS homepage.

The good news is that the BIOS update did not brick my machine. The bad news is that it didn't solve the PCI-PCI Bridge reinstall problem either. Everything worked fine as long as I restarted. But when I shut down and did a cold boot, Vista reloaded the PCI-PCI bridge drivers, PCI card drivers, and onboard audio drivers as it had done before the BIOS update.

Any suggestions (other than the obvious; replace the motherboard and never buy from ECS again)? Has anyone else tried this BIOS update? Did anyone receive a different BIOS after contacting ECS support?

Thanks.
