A7N8X-X & Win 2k (Issues)
I have issues with this motherboard (latest BIOS, v 1005). Specs:
Win 2k (fully patched) latest drivers for everything Nothing overclocked, all standard, temps are nominal for everything Barton XP 2500 crucial pc2700 ram Asus V9820 Ti4200 video card Santa Cruz sound card (latest driver which is supposed to fix gameport issues with nforce2 chipset) 1. No add on (virtual) serial ports work properly. A PCI modem card which worked very well on 2 other machines freezes up the computer, a kind of quiet BSOD-- :P. A USB-serial converter blue screens the machine (works fine on at least 3 other machines). 2. The gameport is still broken on the Santa Cruz. I dont know if this is a mobo or santa cruz issue. 3. The BIOS setup has no provision to set UART2 to half-duplex for wireless operation (documentation states otherwise). 4. Power saving to shut off the monitor works intermittently. (sad really, with an asus video card and mobo) Very disappointed with these issues. Otherwise, the board runs fine and is very very fast. Any help would be appreciated. |

I dont know if this is a mobo or santa cruz issue. Indeed, this is a known problem. You cannot have other game ports active, just use the onboard gameport. 3. The BIOS setup has no provision to set UART2 to half-duplex for wireless operation (documentation states otherwise). Try the Uber BIOS: (I think that option is in there) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/michael.mcclay/ 4. Power saving to shut off the monitor works intermittently. (sad really, with an asus video card and mobo) Yeah, I think this is a known problem too. Certainly some S3 issues with power saving. Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a string... |
