Faraday Cage?
xmenxmen:
Ever tried contacting Gigabyte to see if they will exchange it for you. Generally if a manufacturer cares even a bit, they will take care of U especially when it comes to these type of problems. Give tech support a call even if it's not under warranty.....
Otherwise, throw it out, cheaper to replace the motherboard then then make all the changes to try to eliminate the EMI.

Right. They may swap you a motherboard just to have yours to research the problem. I don't know that much about wireless frequencies, but it seems like with all the different types of devices affected that it would be interfering with devices using a range of frequencies. Very odd indeed.
Just the fact that it causes this much interference would cause me to search out a new mobo. I think I'd definitely get a different model if not one from a different manufacturer.

i have it on good authority that a faraday cage made of aluminium foil, and roughly conical in shape placed on your head will stop these problems. please post pic when you are successful (",)

I think I may go the "talk to Gigabyte" route. If that fails, I'll likely replace the motherboard. But who knows, tinfoil hats have worked in the past for the alien cat problem I was experiencing back In San Diego. Damn KittyBorg were everwhere.
