I got this board to go with an Antec Sonata Case so I can use the front firewire port. But the case wire has 6 connectors on it while the board has a 10-1 pin connection. I've figured out where the 4 data pins go(TPA + -,TPB + -), but the board has 3 ground pin and 2 12v power pins and the case...

Hello, What is known about stray electricity in (computer related) circuits ? Is there a special electronics term for this phenomenon ? Leakage maybe ? When one turns on the power is there a risk of stray electricity going through the circuits and possibly damaging something ?

I am getting ready to upgrade my system. I am looking for an Asus mobo, with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (perhaps Quad core, but probably not). Anyways, I tend to stick with Intel Chipset mobo's. Anybody know if Nvidia's nForce chipset is any good? Slow/fast, stable, etc.. ? All the Asus mobo's...

Dear asus motherboard experts, the asus p5w-dh seems to me a very good motherboard, but I've run into a big problem: - I set up a RAID-1 on EZ-backup (success, win xp install and booting no problem) - I switched the IDE-settings in the bios from "IDE standard" to "RAID" - I created a RAID-5 on...

This isn't an asus-only question, but I am using several asus boards. I have several old socket-A boards that I'm using for some file servers. One is used for storage only, and has a Sempron 2200. Works fine, performance is adequate. It has 5 drives in it, ranging from 120 to 160GB. I want to...

Hello, I'm getting loads of dropped frames when i'm trying to capture DV through Firewire. I've just done some searches on Usenet archives and i've discovered that this problem has been reported several times. Hasn't it been fixed yet ? Would i have to buy a PCI card ? The output disk are two...

I have a A7N8X Deluxe and am using the built in sound. I have used the nForce control panel before but now it won't come up when I choose it either directly from control panel or from the shortcut I created. Any ideas? I can reinstall it but I'm wondering what may have caused this? Tia Gary

Hi! I have Asus A7V600 and I meet a problem with front panel audio. I wanted to connect front panel of my casing. I have 5 cables out of my casing for it: white - EAR R, black - GND, green - EAR L, black - GND and yellow - MIC IN. Along the manual I had to remove jumpers. So I connected it like...

I've been anointed to supply a PC to a close family member who says they want to do web mail.... period... I'm taking it for granted that what they really want is a little more - including the ability to render YouTube videos. My kneejerk reaction was to go dumpster diving and add some memory to...

Okay, I'm a little PO'ed now... A month or so ago, my a7n8x Deluxe v1.0x died on me. Wouldn't boot at all. tried 3 cpus (Duron 700 / XP 2100+ / Barton 2500+) and no go. Since I had some of my *important* stuff on 2 S-ATA Barracudas (in Raid 0), I had to get some way to get my data back, and more...

question: Possible to have IDE raid 0 AND serial ATA raid 0 at same time? Cant seem to get it to work, even after trying all different BIOS options. WinXP keeps looking to the IDE RAID (Promise TX2000 and two maxtors) for the OS, and it's not there, it's on the raptors...so can they coexist? Two...

Anyone here have a P4P800-E Deluxe, Windows XP Home and SP2 installed? Any issues to know about? My system has a P4/3.0C, WD SATA HD and second IDE HD, 2GB RAM, Matrox G450, and a couple of other peripherals. I've installed SP2 on an ASUS CUV4X-E and a Dell laptop (both XP Home) with no...

I decided to use the front panel audio jacks on my fairly new Kingwin case, which includes audio cables that run from the front jacks and route thru the case and plug into the rear audio jacks. I have an A7N8X-DLX mobo. Well guess what, the idiots at Kingwin decided to swap left and right on the...

I wonder which Asus motherboard(s) support the new Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition. Thanks

Hi, I have a mother (Asus Digimatrix) that supports P4 and Celeron. Do you think it will also work with Celeron D? It is not listed as supported CPU. But, I thought Celeron D is fully compatiable with Celeron. I purchased a Celeron D 2.4G. The mother board does not even boot. No beep and no VGA...

I am trying to get wake on lan working on my A7N266-VM motherboard. It has a built in NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter and I am running Windows 2000 professional with all the latest updates etc. Bios version is rev 1004. I considered updating the bios but none of the more recent versions seemed...

Hi! SPDIF question: When I use the 1) Soundmax drivers, the sound is alright but only stereo _no matter what I do_ (e.g. no 5.1 is transmitted to my receiver via SPDIF in DVDs) 2) VIA AC'97 drivers, I can easily set things to have WinDVD send 5.1 data to my receiver BUT all sound is distorted,...
