After searching these forums for flashing caps lock problems, it appears most of these issues were related to memory upgrades and people not installing the new modules correctly. I did upgrade the memory many weeks ago and haven't had any problems until I upgraded to A07 BIOS. It's happened only twice in the last week but I'm begining to get concerned. After powering down and back up it seems to go away.

Has anyone else had problems with BIOS upgrades?
