"It wasnt really running that good" (because it was already dying). That power supply should have been more than enough for a 9600 card. Sounds like a MB problem. Default the BIOS and see what happens.
Your BIOS chip may have failed. I just got my MB back from ASUS as it was doing the same crap you describe. It is apparent that they replaced the BIOS chip as it is marked diffently than before. Try and reset it but get an RMA going if it still doesn't post with a known good CPU and stick of ram.
Aww phoey! I ran the Beta version of IE-8 for a day and found out that my bank doesn't recognize it so no on-line banking. That was it for me and I went back to IE-7 or so I thought. Now I'm running the 64 bit version and it will not run Adobe flash player no matter what! Any ideas?
Yup. I just jumped to the 680i version of the P5N32-E-SLI. No problems at all. Vista wanted to reactivate because I was down for a week but poof, all fine now! ;-)
Vista is pretty sharp with that. I migrated from a P5N-E-SLI 650 & a 6300 to a 6550 and a P5N32-E-SLI plus 650+570 with virtually no hassle. Now Ive melted my Northbridge and will try migrating to the 680i version of the same board. I noticed the driver disks were virtually identical. Good luck.
I'll always remember the 939 as one of the best platforms around. My back-up is an ASUS A7N-266 with an XP-2000 and a gig of ram. It doesn't suck. The main thing I notice with the Core2 is how cool they run. My overclocked Opty 170 was always 40C at idle and 55C - 60C at load. This dog drops...
Make sure you haven't hit a memory hole. I had that happen between 700-800mhz on a P5N-E-SLI board. Finally just left CPU alone and set memory at 900mhz and no problems moving fsb up after that.
The battery simply holds the BIOS settings in memory. A dead battery will cause automatic default settings at boot-up, but it will boot up. Goota go with short or dead MB. :brokenheart:
The M2N32-SLI Deluxe supports dual PCI Express x16 slots running at full speed to liberate graphics cards from the narrow bandwidth platform of x8 speed only. With ASUS innovative AI Lifestylestyle features, such as AI Gear, 8-Phase Power Design, Stack Cool2 and special designed heat-pipe, the...
I've had nothing but good luck with ASUS, MSI, ABIT, and Gigabyte for the last ten years. Running two ASUS boards ATM. Thumb-drive BIOS flashes are the schizzel!
It's not worth upgrading to AM2 for a 4% gain in performance. Once everybody figured out that AM2+ CPU's would not work in an AM2 mb the bottom fell out of AM2 pricing. AM2 is now a dead socket also. Un-upgradable. I just switched to Intel and sold all my Opty gear for as much as I paid for it...
They ran hotter than firecrackers. Just make sure you have good cooling. An alternative would be a MSI-K9 SLI Platinum. The Crosshair will have a lot of O/C options but be a little pricey still especially if you don't overclock.
Start with the simple stuff. Did you flip the SLI card around between the slots to dual-card mode? Does SLI show up when posting as Enabled? (Disable quick-boot to check everything) Have you split your 12v leads to balance the power supply rails? 600w should be enough gas for what you have. You...
It's easy to do, isn't it? That's the first thing I thought of when I read your plea. Why? Because I did the same thing last week. Stumped me for at least ten minutes. ;-)
Make sure you use the Virtual Reality tags for the icons on her desktop. If you want her to clean, click on the mop. If you want her to cook, click on the stove. If you are feeling horny, click on the bed! ;-)
Yes, if you build your own just reformat and expunge Vista. Also, get Ultimate and not just an OEM version. You may want to ditch 32bit for 64bit and with Ultimate you won't even need to talk to a real person to get your new install number. If Vista runs good for you you will like it. If it...
Vista should run fine on 2gb. One gb is stretching it. Plus that video card's got no horsepower at all for Vista. I'm running Vista 64 now because 32 just plain f*cking quit working. No sound (Media player stopped), and a slug of other conflicts that kept popping up. So far so good on 64. Yea...
NewEgg Open box items are returns that come as MB only. You don't even get the I/O shield. Is it worth it? You can run only 1 Nvidia GPU with an X38 chipset board as it is set up for Crossfire.
LOL! I have an A7N266-E as a back-up on XP-Pro. I had to monkey with it to get it to take a 2400MP CPU. Finally got the right BIOS update. Fast little sucker! ;-)
what if I get it back and the CD Key is already activated. Leaving me with no recourse. Just 2 worthless Vista Media DVD's.
They make great coasters! ;-) Academic version is for students & teachers only. If you shipped me that instead of the retail version I would be hot too.
I just got a P5N-E-SLI mb from another trader and it looks like it's got a mashed pin. It's hard to see so I'll try and get a magnifier and maybe post a pic. Is there any fix?
