You should be talking with the chip manufacturer, that's who will resolve your problem ...

Default OK. Too much caffeine.I Agree with Al. Call AMS before you do anything else.

Pinging could result from a number of issues - none of which is easily diagnosed from your drive-way. Keep the romping to a minimum until your chip manufacturer resolves the prolem.
