A7N8X-E Deluxe Boot Failure and memory problems
I've had my A7N8X-E Deluxe for about a month or so and recently it started failing boot warning me that system boot failed due to CPU overclocking. I've never messed with overclocking and stick to pretty much default settings exept for the AGP aperture 128 MB instead of 64 and AGP instead of PCI graphics. This failure started suddenly without me making any kind of changes but I went and reset the bios by removing the battery and setting the jumper etc. I boot up and everything looks Ok, I get into Windows XP and then the system crashes. I power off and back on and get the old system failed due to CPU overclocking. I don't even use the agressive settings so this looks like bull****. Prior to this I noted the system was a little unstable in that running sete@home command line version would result in a spontaneous reboot after a while. So I ran memtest and it reported memory errors. I tried several different sticks of DDR but got memory errors with all of them. I'm thinking this board is defective. Any thoughts on this matter? |

Is the memory clock the same speed as the FSB ? The memory should be set to 100% or sync etc. HTH, Paul |

I started getting the exact same problems as you stated this weekend.
Everything was working great, in-fact well over a year and then wham windows froze. When I mean froze, no BSOD, but complete freeze of the screen and mouse. I have to reset or turn off the computer. Now when I reboot I get an error of your CPU has been over clocked and I have to enter the Bios to reset everything. When I restart windows, it will run for about 5 minutes and then freeze up and the process starts over again. Have you been able to the narrow the problem down? I have ruled out my memory and video card due to the fact that I placed these components in my sons computer and they ran flawlessly for hours on end. If you find anything our please let me know. I have had nothing overclocked, all stock speeds. Thank you for your time. My system specs are as follows: 2500 Athlon XP A7N8X deluxe 120GB Maxtor 768MB RAM On board sound ATI 9800 non pro Rob |

Do you have BIOS 1010 ?
I flashed my BIOS with that version and had the same problem. After a number of attempts, the keyboard no longer was available. And then after several more attempts, the PCU went dead. Had to replace both. "Rob" a écrit dans le message de om... I started getting the exact same problems as you stated this weekend.
