ok, to be honest, what i did was found someone else's patch for a different mobo but with the same chipset as mine, as I have no clue as to what patches are needed in general.
But now you've told me, i've still got the original DSDT file so I will apply those patches you've mentioned.
Is there any other patches i need?/How do you know in general which patches are needed? (This is a big question i know, so i don't really expect an answer.)
Thank you for getting back to me again.
cheers.
