Hi,
300w Power supply is as follows 5v @ 25A, 3.3V @ 6A, 12V @ 10A Pcprobe reports back everything ok. On my latest re-boot, initially the processor was detected by bios as 1100Mhz and not the 2200Mhz (AMD 3200+). So i re-boot and it then detected the processor correctly. Beginnging to think the processor might be on its way out! Took about 8 times today before system detected everything ok. |

Thanks very much for your comments.
Could be the PSU and i'll try your sugegstions above. Might also be the GPU as i cannot play any 3D game longer than 15mins before the system freezes. I also download asus smartdoctor and it reports back that the voltage is not correct but becuase the system is flashing (as in the smartdoctor pop-up) i cannot clearly identify which voltage is problematic. This suggests as you say its either graphic card or PSU - but which one? Once again thanks for your comments. |

How many beeps exactly? Your motherboard manual will tell you what those beeps mean. Did you say you have tested the system with another video card? -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/ASUS-b...pict60857.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

It’s called the exchange experiment, especially when it comes to power supplies...... If it’s in doubt try the exchange experiment to rule it out I realise not everyone have components they can install just to test the system but sometimes it’s very handy... -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/ASUS-b...pict60857.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
