I've tried changing settings on the bios, no effect.

In any case, your advice does not apply to this case, I have been using
this machine for many years without problems, in fact I bought it
*especially* to be able to use OpenBSD, since until then I had not been
able to run OpenBSD on any hardware.

I have had little to no success lately on these lists on many issues
that I have put a lot of time and effort into, I hope to be heard this
time. :-)
