Hi, My son has just taken delivery of a PC he had built to spec. He intends this to be used for gameplay only. He ordered the K8VSE Ultra Deluxe M/B and received the K8V-X. The supplier claims the requested board is no longer available (as the wi-fi was too expensive) and the K8V-X is now the...

Is there a way to turn off the case fan and the power supply fan when entering standby? I already set the Suspend Mode to S3 in the BIOS with no luck. T.i.a. Rebel without Applause

Hi NG, i have installed the Gart-Driver on my WinXP, but Gart was disabled in Bios. Is it good to enable that? What does Gart do? Thanks for helping! Joerg PS: Board is K8N-E

Hi all new to Asus boards, I am about to use a Celeron 2.4 Ghz D in a P4S00-MX The Asus site says it is supported, but only after BIOS 1009. Does this mean A) it won't POST out of the box if I use this CPU? or B) it will POST, but won't function properly.

Hi, I'm purchasing Asus A8V Deluxe K8T800 pro AMD 939. Along with Thermaltake BigWater liquid cooling. Now to mount the waterblock it requires four mounting holes on the board. I was wondering if anyone with the motherboard noticed four mounting holes around the CPU. I want to make sure that...

Hi All, I'm almost ready to build my A8V/3500+ system. I'm still waiting for my SATA drives. I hope this isn't too dumb a question. But, is it possible to use the two drives without RAID? I'd like to put the OS and system apps on one drive and apps/data on the other. Looking through the...

I went into the bios and selected the spacebar as the key to boot the computer but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do? I have a P4PE.

Hi folks. Does anyone here run FreeBSD 5.x on a A7V8X-X motherboard? Does it work OK? All the onboard hardware supported OK? I ask because FreeBSD 5.2.1 panics when I try to boot it on my A7N8X-Deluxe. I'm hoping the different chipset will not have this problem. Thanks.

Hi, I have a p4c800-e deluxe, worked fine yesterday. Today no boot, just the voice message "System failed CPU test". Tried cpu in different machine-no problems. Looks like a new motherboard, does anyone agree? Monty

I'm posting this just in case any of you run into the same or similar situation. I decided to install my IEEE1394 card so I could resume transferring video from my Sony digital camcorder. It installed properly but wiped out my 6-in-1 USB2 internal card reader. I recalled that I had had...

Will the P4C800-E Deluxe and 3.4E proc work nice together? I am thinking about buying an ASUS P4C8000-E Deluxe. Thanks NBK

Hello there, I have a strange Problem with my mainboard. A few days ago, I bought a S-ATA HDD (Samsung SP1614C 160GB) and tried to install Windows XP on it. Everything worked fine but after any warmboot of the system the post reporter told me, that power on self test was successfully completed...

Recently my system has a tendency to reboot spontaneously somwhete in the middle of a recording when I'm capturing video to (huffyuv compressed) AVI format with AVI_IO. Sometimes it works OK, but it's a long shot... What can be the cause? regards, -- MV

Who's got an A7N8X that's hard to start? Mine needs between 1 and 4 presses of the reset button from a cold boot - initial power on gives drive lights and fans, but no beep and no video. Once running it's fine. I'm curious because I'm now on my second one that's doing it, the first was a 1.04...

I just recently purchased a system with an ASUS P4P800sx MB and I am having one issue that I am not sure why is happening. The system has 1GB RAM, a WD SATA 80 GB drive, an IDE Sony DVD drive and a WD 40 GB IDE drive. On POST the machines displays the 40GB as primary master and the DVD drive as...

Hi In the BIOS of my new MB can I adjust the duty cycle in the option "Power-APM Configuration-Throttle Slow Clock Ratio" between 87.5% and 12.5%. What does the Duty Cycle means? Which values should I select? TIA

I want to rip some vinyl to .wav files. It's my understanding I'll need a preamp between the turntable and the computer. I saw one by Radio Shack but they aren't kept in stock and RS can't give me a delivery date. Don't know where to begin looking for one and I'm not clued in enough to this type of...

I love my old boards, a p55t2p4 and a p55tvp4. Id like to bump up the ram in the t2p4 but it has only 256K L2. I can't seem to locate a coast cache module rev.3.0 w/tag ram, nor can i locate just the tag ram (15/32kb 5.v 15ns). Anyone know where I could find these components? Maybe you? The p55TVP$...
