Support from asus? (a bit long)
My system has a P4C800 deluxe mb. I'm running XP-pro with an 120gig
hd and a GeForce 5700 128 agp card. I started out with 2 512mb sticks of DDR-400 (pc3200) Kingston memory. Shortly after I got this system up and running, I started having problems. Lock-ups, various crashes and such. Finally it crashed hard. Well, I started over. This time I couldn't finish the XP install. Each time at the end of formatting the drive, it would tell me that the drive was corrupt. Good enough, I tried a different hd. Same problem. And I was able to format and install the original hd on a different system. Conclusion, it wasn't the harddrive. A search of the internet hinted at a possible memory problem. Specifically the dual-channel mode. Well, I pulled one of the sticks and every thing worked properly. I've since tested this with a more powerful power supply, and I even sent the memory back to Kingston to have it tested. (oh, was able to test it myself with memtest and it ran for 48hours with no errors) I even tried a different video card. (that is the only add-in card in the system.) The only thing that hasn't been changed is the motherboard. I contacted Asus and they gave me a couple of bios settings to try which didn't help. I asked Asus to send me a new motherboard (I offered to provide a credit card for them to charge against till I could get the old one back) Since then inspite of 4 follow-up email, I've heard nothing. This has been several weeks. I've been reading the advice here and have gotten a couple of new ideas. (disable legacy usb; install one stick, get it's settings, add the second stick and set them manually) But I would still like to know how to get some response from Asus. Anyone know how? thanks, Robert Megee |
