The onboard sound on my A8N-SLI Premium motherboard has started to become flaky after a little over two years of use. After it's been on for a few hours, there's a pop through the speakers, and the audio just goes completely out in all applications. Since a reboot brings the audio right back,...

I know very little about RAID. I admit that right up front. I have set up RAID successfully in the past, however, on my P4C800-E system. Now I am trying to set it up on my new P5K Deluxe WiFi system and I'm having no success. I have a multi-boot system. The C: drive is my main WinXP...

Hi folks, What type of RAM should I be buying for an A8N-E? I don't have the manual to hand, but I remember it needing to be matched pairs (I have a pair of matched 512Mb DIMMS in there now). Are there any minimum speed requirements? DDR or DDR2? I'm confused! Thanks

I've got a machine with an M2N-MX mobo. This thing doesn't seem to allow power management under XP! Even basic things like Standby and Hibernate are missing. When you press the "Turn Off Computer" button, the only options are Restart and Turn Off; Standby is greyed out, and Hibernate isn't even...

Hi, Is there a way to troubleshoot a motherboard or cpu without using another motherboard or cpu? (Concern about frying something) I have another P4800-E Deluxe MB with a P43.0 chip. After about 10 minutes it keeps rebooting like it's overheating. I changed out the power supply but that didn't...

Hello, I'm Andrea from Italy. In my PC I use a P5B motherboard and I have a problem: when I turn off my PC from Win XP the PC turns off but the mother board doesn't... I'd need it to power off because I have an USD device (a 500GB disk, WD MyBook) that can't power off itself because the USB is...

Here in Houston,Tx we had heavy rains, and a lightning strike in my neighborhood, and now I get the message "A network cable is unplugged" on my main machine. The other two machines on my LAN (using a Linksys router and DSL modem, are fine, with normal Internet connectivity and printing. ipconfig...

If you have an Asus motherboard with built in video, can this be used with a dual video card add-in to create a 3 monitor solution?

The door was open. Lot's of noise from outside. I turned on the PC. I thought I didn't turn on or something. So I press power button again.

I've more or less battled my way through the W2K OS to a point where it wants to partition my 320 WD HD. It show C: NTFS 76G and D: FAT 1/4 G. I talked to ASUS tech support and they think when I apply SP4 all will be OK. That is, I'll have 320G. I have my doubts. Can anyone illuminate this...

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...

Hi, I have a asus A7V400-MX mb and I pulled out the power switch wire to the system panel when I was pulling out the hard drive. I reconnected it and now the system won't boot at all even though it powers up. (no bios, no signal at all to the monitor) I think I might of hooked it up backwards....

André, PE1PQX heeft ons zojuist aangekondigd : Hi all, I have a question about the M2V motherboard (again...) I was able to purchase an SATA-II harddrive (Maxtor 160 GByte) and was wondering if it is possible to boot from the Marvell SATA-II connection (not the external, but the...

Hi all, Thanks for the help on my previous post. As a reminder here is my system: " just finished building my new rig. Asus P5K Premium MD, 4 gig Crucial DDR 800, Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, Nvidia GTS 8800, 2 WD Caviar Sata 2 HDD, Sata DVD rom, Sata RW DVD." Again, everything shows fine on the...

I'm experiencing random reboots. I've been through this before so I know the routine but perhaps there are some other options to resolve it. First, my psu is a quality (Vantec 420W), it's powering the board, a 2.4 P4, 3 hard drives and an older ATI Radeon 9000 (AGP, 64MB memory). I do not have a...

Hi all, When I was troubleshooting my system I ended up installing xp and vista in dual boot arrangement. I have since moved the drive that vista was on back to the original computer. But I still have the boot screen asking me to pick an operating system. How do I kill the dual boot screen...

I just searched the group and believe I found the answer. I was considering upgrading the CPU on the board from a 2.5333 to a 3.x with Hyperthreading. What I see though is an 800 FSB would force me to using only 1 stick of memory. I current have 1.5 gigs of memory, on 3 sticks, but it's 333,...

will that board accept that 3500+ cpu?
