Wow, I was a victim of this about 2 years ago. I had started one of the original threads complaining about this issue. I was instead traded a RS 800 BLK for my BE750G which I'm happy with. My RS 800 has treated me well except for the insane voltage readings in the billions and trillions of volts.

So were you guys told what the exact problem was? What was causing the communication issues? Glad it was fixed by software though.

In case you want to see my frustrations back then, here's the thread link I created back in 2007 about this hehe

My event log proves that it was an ANNOYING problem! Thanks! It took a while to fix but umm.. It's fixed!! That's what counts! Keep up the good work!

Too bad I can't test drive this patch for you since I no longer have a BE750G.
