After spending hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my motherboard I've come to the realization that Supermicro BIOS doesn't support 1024x768 which is the 1U monitor/kb station I have... I snagged a Dell 20" and just plugged it in and it worked just fine.

I've notified SuperMicro.

I also couldn't figure out why the reset button wouldn't work, and then realized randomly it was rebooting by itself too... turns out the SWITCH on this cheap-ass case was bad, yanked the wires and 0 problems since.

That's not a bad switch, it's a feature :) Glad to hear you got it fixed
