I visited the Averatec website today and noticed that a BIOS upgrade was available for the C3500. This file was update on 06/09/05.

As per the Averatec website it states "This BIOS is not a critical update, but may solve various issues with usage". Nothing like a blanket statement, especially where some users are experiencing issues that could possibly be attributed to the BIOS. However, some further explanation of the BIOS fix would have been quite helpful, since most major computer corporation’s state at least what was addressed and fixed.

Once I downloaded the "patch" I snooped around the new BIOS and the only attributable difference that I could notice is that the user now has the ability to switch from either 32MB shared video memory to 64MB, everything else looks as though it stayed the same.

Anyways, for those of you that are experiencing problems, downloading the BIOS update may cure some of your problems.

Best of Luck!
