Hi All, I have ASUS P5W DH Deluxe as MotherBoard with Intel Core 2 duo CPU. I just finished to install Kubuntu 8.10 ... Found many times that my system hanging/freezing a lot. Then after powered cycle my system, I got the following message on my screen: AMIBIOS (C) 2006 American Megatrends, Inc.

As you all know the prices on Intel's cpu's had a large price cut last month. So I waited for NewEgg to offer a good sail on the CPU I wanted to get when I first put this system together but couldn't afford it at the time. I decided to take the old E6600 out and put the new E6850 in and see...

I have an Asus A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard, 4 gigs of Ram, (only 2.75gb avail tho) 5 internal harddrives (1 IDE and 4 Sata) and an ATI Radeon x1800 Video card. (the one with 512mb cache I can't remember if that's the xl or xt tho, altho it probably doesn't matter) The hard drive on IDE is partioned...

Hello, I was just playing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and I noticed my cooling fans and making quite some noise ! Like BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ... they are spinning at full speed. And when I rebuilded my PC I noticed lot's of heat inside the case coming from the chips and such.

I seen a list of motherboards Asus has created Vista drivers for. It is a pretty long list but it doesn't have my board, the A8N32-SLI. I just bought this board a week ago for $170. It isn't a discontnued or obsolete board! How can Asus not supply drivers for the current OS for boards it...

I have an ASUS A7V running Windows Millenium and would appreciate any help: This board has 5 PCI slots. I presently have two free and am trying to install a firewire card. Slot 5 - Soundblaster PCI128 card (Gameport disabled in Device Manager) Slot 4 - Lava Parallel PCI (used with parallel Canon...

My PC is hot. Even with extra fan. Is there a way to make the CPU or bus speed go down when the system has been idle for a while (I know I can use suspend, but then I won't get new mail alerts, MSN msgs etc). -- Lars-Erik - http://home.chello.no/~larse/ - ICQ 7297605 WinXP, Asus P4PE, 2.53 GHz,...

Hey guys! Just to get it out of the way I have: MB : ASUS P5ND2 SLI Intel P4 3.2 GHz Hyper-threading LGA775 800Mhz FSB 4 Gigs DDR2 240 pin Present set up: 320 Gig SATA Primary

Note: The Boxed Retail AMD processor looked OK from the outside, but the green packing material housing the fan and heat sink was badly mangled and almost disintegrated. The CPU itself was secure in it plastic cover. I built a lightly loaded system with the following: AMD 4200+ X2 Asus A8V Deluxe...

Thanks for any help anyone could offer with the problem that I have. I have posted in several newsgroups and have not got any responses that have worked including the Microsoft troubleshooting pages. I have an A7N8X deluxe board with the following: 512 PC3200 DDR 2400+ XP Win98SE Toshiba...

I've just ordered an A8V board and 2 x 160GB SATA drives. If I want to use them as straight forward C: and D: drives, which is the best method to do this? Thanks. John Please remove "NO-SPAM" if sending email.

Hello, My question is: Does static electricity travel via metal only ? or plastics too ? The back of the pc has a metal (?) brace which is part of the motherboard. I touched it, and maybe could have damaged the motherboard that way.

Hi, I have 512 mb of RDRAM in an ASUS P4T533 running XP Pro with a P4-2.4 533 processor and ultra 160 X15 SCSI drives. I have had bouts of 'sluggishness' and high CPU usage at times, which I find is solved by re-booting and reloading what I am working on. I don't know if you can call me a...

I have a baffling problem with a computer I built about six months ago, based around an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. After a series of problems (see history, below), this computer ran fine for several weeks. Then, a couple of days ago, after several hours of heavy use, when I exited a game,...

I've bought Powerleap PL-iP3/T adaptor for my P2B-F motherboard. There was also floppy with updated BIOS attached. It was several years ago. My computer has been working until a day when its BIOS chip just stopped working. In service center BIOS chip has been replaced and the recent ASUS BIOS 1014...

Just installed an MSI 975x Platinum Powerup mobo and a Zalman CPU cooler in my case. The only other fan in the case is on the low end Geforce 6600 card, a small fan on the side of the case and a new power supply with a single fan (from PC Power and Cooling). Am not overclocking anything. Temp I...

I am returning a defective mb, and all the components are back in their boxes waiting for the new mb. My CPU's cooling unit came with a thermal pad; (by design) it was squashed against the CPU when I installed it. When I uninstalled it, some of the squashed goop stayed with the CPU, the rest of...

I usually buy Crucial RAM from www.dabs.com - anyone used this successfully with the A8N-SLI motherboard? Thanks, Rob.

Barton 2500+ unlocked. I guess crappy memory - Nanya from a PC fair, supposedly 400mhz. No bh-5 chips I bet. Decent PSU (Enlight 420). Gets up to 180 fine. Not over that, the nice post lady tells me the memory failed. Dropped multiplier to 10, no better. Raised it to 11.5, ok. 12 fails P95. I...
