I have a A7N8X Deluxe and am using the built in sound. I have used the nForce control panel before but now it won't come up when I choose it either directly from control panel or from the shortcut I created. Any ideas? I can reinstall it but I'm wondering what may have caused this? Tia Gary

Hello, What is known about stray electricity in (computer related) circuits ? Is there a special electronics term for this phenomenon ? Leakage maybe ? When one turns on the power is there a risk of stray electricity going through the circuits and possibly damaging something ?

Hello, I'm getting loads of dropped frames when i'm trying to capture DV through Firewire. I've just done some searches on Usenet archives and i've discovered that this problem has been reported several times. Hasn't it been fixed yet ? Would i have to buy a PCI card ? The output disk are two...

I am getting ready to upgrade my system. I am looking for an Asus mobo, with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (perhaps Quad core, but probably not). Anyways, I tend to stick with Intel Chipset mobo's. Anybody know if Nvidia's nForce chipset is any good? Slow/fast, stable, etc.. ? All the Asus mobo's...

This isn't an asus-only question, but I am using several asus boards. I have several old socket-A boards that I'm using for some file servers. One is used for storage only, and has a Sempron 2200. Works fine, performance is adequate. It has 5 drives in it, ranging from 120 to 160GB. I want to...

Dear asus motherboard experts, the asus p5w-dh seems to me a very good motherboard, but I've run into a big problem: - I set up a RAID-1 on EZ-backup (success, win xp install and booting no problem) - I switched the IDE-settings in the bios from "IDE standard" to "RAID" - I created a RAID-5 on...

Anyone here have a P4P800-E Deluxe, Windows XP Home and SP2 installed? Any issues to know about? My system has a P4/3.0C, WD SATA HD and second IDE HD, 2GB RAM, Matrox G450, and a couple of other peripherals. I've installed SP2 on an ASUS CUV4X-E and a Dell laptop (both XP Home) with no...

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...

Okay, I'm a little PO'ed now... A month or so ago, my a7n8x Deluxe v1.0x died on me. Wouldn't boot at all. tried 3 cpus (Duron 700 / XP 2100+ / Barton 2500+) and no go. Since I had some of my *important* stuff on 2 S-ATA Barracudas (in Raid 0), I had to get some way to get my data back, and more...

Hello, I would like my bios to have a Power On By USB keyboard (for asus a8n32-sli). Maybe this is possible with a future bios update ? Since my power button is a bit sticky and I would like to use my USB mouse or keyboard to power on if possible =D

Hi everybody. I am running Windows XP on an Asus A8N5X motherboard. Does anyone know if there's a way to get the USB 2.0 ports to work without having to install that Service Pack crap? :o) Ciao, Franco

I recently install a ASUS motherboard in my old case and see a message "Power Fan below threshold" from the ASUS utility software. There is a CPU fun and a CHA fun for the case. I can not find the POWER fun for the POWER supply. Does that mean the Power Supply Fun stop working? Do I need to buy...

I have a p4c800-e dlx mb to which I've had only a one sata hd connected to intel sata 1. Tonight I installed a second sata hd connected to sata 2. I went into the bios and followed the instructions from the manual: onboard ide operate mode set to enhanced mode, enhanced mode support on set...

Hi, I have a mother (Asus Digimatrix) that supports P4 and Celeron. Do you think it will also work with Celeron D? It is not listed as supported CPU. But, I thought Celeron D is fully compatiable with Celeron. I purchased a Celeron D 2.4G. The mother board does not even boot. No beep and no VGA...

Planning to buy a Barton (2500+ or sg. else) and a A7N8X for. Some of my friends are saying: "Don't buy the simple A7N8X! Go, get a DeLuxe!" Hey folks, what's the reakl difference between the two mobo's (except the money) ?! Thanks in advance; -ha-

question: Possible to have IDE raid 0 AND serial ATA raid 0 at same time? Cant seem to get it to work, even after trying all different BIOS options. WinXP keeps looking to the IDE RAID (Promise TX2000 and two maxtors) for the OS, and it's not there, it's on the raptors...so can they coexist? Two...
