Based on the first few minutes of testing this works perfectly! Thanks a

PS: Does it make sense to contact my shop and/or Abit and/or VIA
regarding this problem? I don't want to pay money for broken hardware.

I suspect VIA may be the best place to complain to, it is most likely their breakage. I don't know how responsive they are to such things however.
