Hi Folks, Right, here we go: I have a A7V600 with Athlon Xp2500 with Ti4200 and 512MB twinmos DDR3200 Fantastic combo - runs as XP3300 (2.3MHz 440FSB) rock solid, 24/7 So good in fact, A friend has bought an identical setup, with the exception of him wanting a Radeon9200SE

Hi there... I recently updated my bios and soundcard drivers, and hooked up 2 more IDE hard drives. Now I noticed that the sound volume is nowhere near as loud as it was before all these changes. I uninstalled and reinstalled the soundcard software, but it is the same. The sound from the CD...

I had a WD Raptor working perfectly with a Gigabyte MB (Via KT600). Changed to Asus A7V600. Shortly after, started getting blue screen of death errors "unable to mount boot drive". To boot, you have to use Windows recovery console (XP) and do a chkdsk. It ALWAYS finds errors on the C: drive...

this is my first attempt at building a system with an SATA drive, and so far it's not going real smooth. no drive is detected at all. it is a single drive. i am using the SATA cable supplied with the motherboard as the drive was bare. i have it connected to the SATA1 port on the MB. and am using...

Howdy, I thought I knew what was happening, now I'm confused. I have a 1.6 Duran that the BIOS sets at a multiplier of 12 and frequency of 133/33, but this processor family is supposed to run a 266 FSB and the manual BIOS settings only go up to 250. Am I to assume that this motherboard knows...

There's probably some stupid explanation for this, but the BIOS (rev 6) won't let me change the CPU frequency or any of the voltages. It used to let me, then I re-installed windows XP, now it's stuck at 1550 MHz. What did I do? Thanks for your help

Hi, I just installed the above board, with an Athlon XP2800+ and 512MB of 333MHz DDR memory. Everything installed no problems. Turned on the power swicth on the PSU, and the green LED lit up on the board. Pressed the power button on the case and nothing. No fan activity or anything. I checked all...

hello i bought 2 A7V600 Asus Mainboard cards with AMD Athlon 2600 and 512 Mo RAM. I have installed all components (CPU, CPUfan, powerfan, RAM,PowerSupply,..) When i switch the power on, ... nothing at the screen, no beeps (the fans are ok, the internal led is on). It is the same thing on the two...

Anyone on here own this motherboard, or have installed a few? Just curious, have an opportunity for an upgrade and the last time I bought an Asus (A7V333) over a year and a half ago, it gave me nothing but trouble. Several replacements later, it sits in a box in the garage, while the exact same...

I bought a new computer about 5 weeks ago assembled to spec by a local dealer - Asus A7V600 board, 1G of 3200 Samsung RAM, Athlon 3000 400FSB processor, 120G Hitachi IDE drive, XP Home and have had endless problems which I can now only think to ascribe to the design of the board itself. The machine...

I have the A7V660 and it has run great for over 3 years. All of sudden it is hung up on the asus bios update screen. It wont react when I hit tab or alt F2. I tried a new battery and also discharged the bios. Is there any way out of this or is this board toast? Thanks, Brian

Hi ! I replaced my MB with an A7V600 a few months ago. After that the machine locked up at regularly. I traced it down to low voltage on the 3.3V line. The problem was actually easily fixed by unplugging the main power connector to the board, giving it a quick clean and reconnecting...

Hi! My machine has suffered from lock-ups at irregular intervals for a few days. I put this down to a driver problem. But today it stopped working altogether. It just freezes during boot-up and that is it. I removed all the cards and tried to different video cards to isolate the problem. But the...

Hi, in the device manger I get a Network Controller unknown device under other! My Network controller is installed & working, but I get this yellow item looking for a device driver & I try to use the MB Disc to locate a driver it's looking for? I'm not able to find any driver or know what it's...

Under WinXP, In device manager under 'other devices' I have listed a 'Network Controller' with a yellow question mark beside it. My onboard network adapter is lested under network adapters and works fine. Any ideas what the extra 'Network Adapter' is?

Think I've come to the end of this - tried different PSUs, removed hard drive and CD and graphics card, removed memory. The computer starts for about 3 seconds, fan spins, then shuts down straight away - same symptom whatever the configuration. The only constant is the AMD 2500 processor. The PSU...

During bootup of an A7V600, the following msg appears Hardware Monitor found error - Please enter "power menu Setup" and select Hardware Monitor Checking Hardware Monitor shows everything within normal ranges. Any suggestions? Dr.Mikey.

I did follow the hint to note the 12v output level both with the mb plug in the case and outside of it. That reads just the same, 12v is actually 12,7 to 12,92, bios reading in both cases. Is that too much ? the hardware monitor doesn't beep anymore like when the old PS died, guess it went much...
