I dont have any floppy disk with which to install the SATA RAID drivers when
installing windows XP
you know when you have to press F6 before installing windows.... are these
on the CD that comes with the board?

My M2N-E won't power on not sure if it is the PSU or the board but suspect
the PSU
Can anyone tell me if there could be anything on the board that could be
preventing it from even powering up? like a jumper or something?

Folks - I purchased an Asus P4P800-VM and when I try to boot with a SATA
drive attached (two "known good" drives - one a WD another a Seagate)
the system goes into constant reboots. This doesn't happen when just the
DVD-RW (also known good) is connected.

I've been runing my A8V Deluxe for months on the HDDs from my prior mb,
both IDE and it was humming along just fine.  As I began to run out of
space I added two SATA drives and added drivers.  Suddenly my primary
HDD has slowed to a crawl.  I've updated BIOS to 1017 and checked all

Is the P5B deluxe ready for quad core/multicore?  I love the specs on this
board but want to be ahead of the game after the quads come out in another
few months.  Thanks.  AJ

My trusted P4C800 deluxe has developed a fault with the IDE controller as it
occasionally does not see the attached two IDE hard disks. The disks work
well in another system.  I've changed the IDE cables but that does not stop
the fault. It's time for a replacement motherboard as ...

Preparing to assemble new machine with this board.  Looking for
suggestions for using two old PATA IDE drives.
My boot will be a Sata raptor on the native IC7HR southbridge sata-1
port (per manual for SATA boot natively)

Using 2 DDR2 pc6400  memory sticks, what is the correct optimum placement?
Both in the gold connectors or one in gold other in black ( i.e. Channel A
pair)? Assume that the memory has A,B,C compatability per the p5b manual
memory chart.

I was reseating the NB HS and while cleaning the bottom of the heatsink, I
inadvertently scraped off the black felt pad that had a square cut-out in
the center for the core. What's that for? Is it to protect the SMDs from
making contact with the sink or is it there just for support ...

I have an ASUS A7V8X with the Promise (PDC20376) SATA RAID controller
chip built into the motherboard, that died.  The Promise controller was
managing a two disk SATA Raid 0 array.
I want to build a new computer using a new ASUS motherborad and a Core

I've been trying to get the S/PDIF output to work on my K8V-X and SE
Delux boards with no luck. I've loaded the SoundMax drivers without any
problem. The manual says that once this is done and the computer is
rebooted I can open the volume control to find an Advanced button under

I have a ASUS TUSI-M motherboard. The bios is version 1011.At present,
it has a WD 20gb hard drive. I just purchased a new Seagate 160gb hard
drive.
My plan was to ghost the 160gb hard drive from the 20gb hard drive.

I just got the Asus A8N-E motherboard: with Athlon64-3000+ / 2x 256Mo DDR
Samsung/ IDE Seagate 250Mo HD / : OK with Linux Kaela (self contained CD);
impossible to install Windows, either the "familly" or the "pro" One
(without SP1 or 2); I know I have to install SP1 &2 to get ...

Does anyone know why the firewire port on a A7N8X-E Deluxe might not be
working correctly? I'm pretty certain I've connected the case port to
the correct point on the motherboard. I've installed the latest nForce
driver. However, the firewire port doesn't show up in Device Manager

I tried overloading the temperature on my E6800 while ThrottleWatch was
running, but it didn't throttle at all. Is this because the extreme
version doesn't support throttling?
