CONFIRMED: THE ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard IS DEAD !!!!!!!!
Hello,
This morning precisely at 9:15 as usual I received my new hardwa A (new?) ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. I shortly went back to bed until 10:05 then I woke up and started the test procedings, the results: 1. The new motherboard has slightly different components (more on that later in a new post and website update) 2. The new motherboard has a slightly different revision number (a G behind it, more on that later) 3. The power fan does not spin up if nothing is inserted into the motherboard. 4. No beeps if no cpu inserted ! 5. The new motherboard has a totally different bios chip which I have not seen before. (I think it's a philips, and somebody write "hi" on it ? Hi like hello ? or Hi for high quality ? Who knows ?! more on that later, and more investigation on that later on the chip itself I mean ) I save the best results for last, though the topic gives it away. The testing procedings went as follows: 1. Test motherboard with power only. Results: No beeps. 2. Remove battery, switch bios chips. Repeat test, Results: No Beeps. 3. Insert cpu, thermal paste interface material, heatsink, memory chips. Results: Beeps ! Results: New motherboard is alive, new bios chip is working ! 4. Remove battery, switch bios chips. Repeat test (tested without battery). Results: Beeps ! Results: New motherboard is alive, OLD bios chip is working ! 5. Gently remove heatsink, re-smear thermal paste interface material and apply a little bit new. (Because this was a short test I didn't bother cleaning it off etc. ) 6. Switch motherboards. 7. Insert everything into the old motherboard. Results: NO BEEPS ! Results: OLD motherboard IS DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8. Switch bios chips. 9. Insert new bips chip into old motherboard. Results: NO BEEPS ! Results: OLD motherboard IS DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There you have it folks ! I AM NOW 100% CONVINCED THE OLD MOTHERBOARD (Same model) IS DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ****ING HATE THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR NOW IT SEEMS THE WINBOND BIOS CHIP IS ALIVE AND KICKING (???) (Though it did beep strangly when I turned off the power, maybe that was because the battery was not in... BUT STILL, IT PROVES THE BIOS CHIP IS AT LEAST WORKING but it could be a fluke of luck... the old motherboard worked shortly as well before it finally dead some weeks ago... so I am not 100% convinved the old bios chip is "trust worthy" for all I know it might have even damaged the old motherboard). ONE THING IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN: THE OLD MOTHERBOARD IS DEAD ! THE NEW MOTHERBOARD IS ALIVE ! HAIL THE NEW KING ! =D I can feel the "RETURN OF THE MACKING COMING". Soon I will rebuild my Dream PC completely. But for now... I first gonna buy a nice big fat krocket and a hamburger and then I go to the store to buy myself TWO... yes TWO new tubes of ARTIC SILVER 5 or whatever version it is at. And then I am gonna clean the CPU and HEATSINK properly one last time for the rest of my life I hope ! and then reapply it and then my PC will be BACK ALIVE ! =D YES BACK FROM THE DEAD YOU *******S ! =D And then I can continue my NICE AND LOVING GAME (actually it's quite saddist and psycho I LOVE THAT =D) of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic ! AND THEN YOU MOTHER****ERS. I WILL POST A REVIEW OF IT IN ALLLLLLLLLLL THESE NEWSGROUPS. JUST TO PROVE I PLAYED AND FINISHED IT AND LOVED IT AND LOVED IT AND LOVED IT AND LOVED IT AND LOVED IT AND LOVED IT AND LOVED AND LOVED IT =D Looking forward to it. AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN GO START BITCH AGAIN about nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH YES. And you know what ?! I AM GOING TO SEND THE DEAD MOTHERBOARD BACK TO MY RESELLER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also their is a dangerous part to this story. I really thought the BIOS chip was dead ?! the bios cheap appears not dead... SO WHAT KILLED MY OLD MOTHERBOARD ????????????????? Yes WHAT KILLED IT ?! OH GOD IF I AM CORRECT, AND THEN STUCKY POWER BUTTON IS THE CAUSE THEN I AM STILL ****ED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However while the power was off. I ****ING PRESSED IT 100 TIMES TO TRY AND WEAR it down a little hopefully the POWER BUTTON is now more "smooth" and doesn't stick anymore GOD damn that ! I don't like using the reset button as the main power button, because it's so tiny... it might even be MORE dangerous to use that ?! Because I am not certain if I pressed it properly ! SO **** THAT IDEA. I am just going to use the MAIN POWER BUTTON. I still have warranty for 3 years... though who knows... I hope asus will have a replacement in 3 years may it have died again ?! Because I do not want any other motherboard except this one ! I love this motherboard... it's cool and it fits real nice with my two graphics cards ! and I love the heatsinks... However if the power button gets stuck again I AM GOING TO BE SO ****ED. I will let you know if it happens one more single time ! So far during testing it didn't happen anymore... So hoping for the best Ofcourse there could be other causes... but enough about that. NOW. Please make a BIG BOW for me, Skybuck, and give me a small applause for figuring out what the problem WAS. (And all you people doubting the high quality power supply have been proving WRONG) (You strange *******s... this power supply ROCKS THE CRADDLE =D ) Enough about this... MY LIFE HAS TO CONTINUE NOW, for now =D Thank you for listening and reading and HAVE A NICE DAY. I am sure I WILL =DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Bye, Skybuck. |

Also their is a kinda sad part to the story which I didn't think of
but I don't mind that much: Asus or somebody might have done it's utter best to fine tune the bios settings ?!? And because I removed the bios chips and battery those settings have been lost ?! So now I will have to use default settings and properly (as good as I can) fine tune the motherboard myself ?! Kinda sux but ok... but maybe the settings were default anyway. I am just hoping I can find some good settings on the internet... though I do know my motherboard pretty well... but still a short memory refresh can't hurt. ALSO INTERESTING IS: NEW CD'S in BOX ?! I have received a CD with NVIDIA drivers for SLI stuff... I haven't seen that before I think... ? I didn't receive that CD with the older motherboard ? Not sure though, I will check back later... Also the manual seems slightly updated and maybe even some new pages ?!? Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, WELL I GOT A LOT MORE OF TESTING TO DO AND REPORTING OH YEAH LOVING IT. And later when my new PC is totally rebuild... I WILL PLAY BATTLEFIELD 2. To see if the sound bugs are gone ?!?!? Probably not though.. but WHO KNOWS HUH ?! I will =D :P* HAHA Bye, Skybuck. |

Well,
I just came back from the local pc store and they didn't have any more artic silver 5 stuff, only some with stuff ?! DOH ! If there is one thing you would think they have it's artic silver 5 but noooo. Smart me ofcourse calculated in this scenerio. That's why I didn't clean my cpu in advance... And there is probably still some artic silver 5 left in the tube... So that will have to do for a while I also forgot to go to the supermarket but that s ok. So now I will start rebuilding my dream peecee. :P* Bye, Skybuck. |

I can feel the "RETURN OF THE MACKING COMING". More like, return of the bitchslapping..... But for now... I first gonna buy a nice big fat krocket and a hamburger and then I go to the store to buy myself TWO... yes TWO new tubes of ARTIC SILVER 5 or whatever version it is at. two tubes?... You should read the instructions as one tube would probably do 2-5 installs.... I really thought the BIOS chip was dead ?! the bios cheap appears not dead... I told you it wasnt dead.. LOTS of other people told you that it would take a total ****tard to **** up flash'ing (-- look jack/MrEnglishTutor/shepard). IF I AM CORRECT, AND THEN STUCKY POWER BUTTON IS THE CAUSE THEN I AM STILL ****ED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your not correct (again) I ****ING PRESSED IT 100 TIMES TO TRY AND WEAR it down a little hopefully the POWER BUTTON is now more "smooth" and doesn't stick anymore "Sticking" of the power button is a case issue and generally not a button issue, you need to see what's keeping it stuck down, it wont hurt the pc with the exception that it might keep turning it off. I don't like using the reset button as the main power button, because it's so tiny... it might even be MORE dangerous to use that ?! Because I am not certain if I pressed it properly ! You dont know if you pressed a button correctly? Please make a BIG BOW for me, Skybuck, and give me a small applause for figuring out what the problem WAS. You order'd a whole new board.. You didnt figgure out what the problem was.. It's like your car not starting, so you buy a new car... that's not problem finding that's product replacement. If the problem was Skybuck then you didnt do anything except give the problem more time to show up in another install. |
