S3 (STR) failing on new shuttle build

Hey Boxtata, I have noticed some random strange issues as well, once in a while on a cold boot my system will lock up at the esata detection just after post and just before the OS loads from the internal SATA drive. Also if I disable the bios splash screen, the system will sometimes hang before...

K8N Neo2 - No Command Rate option in bios

Just got the K8N Neo2 Plat along with a 3700+ SD CPU and I have had good OC results right away but I am getting very frustrated with one thing. The option to change between 1T and 2T command rates is not even showing in the memory timing section where it should be. I checked the Manual for the...

MBM5 with A8N-SLI Deluxe

RY62, This is really cool, I like MBM5 but haven't been able to get it to work with the newer mobo's. I will try this out with my A8N-SLI board, thanks. I also have the MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI board and was wondering if the same code you provided for the Asus board will work with the MSI...

PC speaker sound without a pc speaker

It shouldn't make a sound if your soundcard/onboard sound is enabled and working, this disables the system alerts being sent to the mobo speaker. It should anyway.

*** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

Being sick sucks, hope you get better, I will try the OC idea. It is an XP-120 w/ a Panaflo 120mm fan. I had to slightly bend a capacitor on the left side due to the heat pipes but it wasn't much of a bend and nothing seems to have been affected. The bottom two SATA ports are not blocked by...

Ballistix and A8N-SLI Deluxe

I have Ballistix PC3200 @ 2-2-2-7 1T and I have memory stability issues at stock clocks. But my issue is strange as I never have stability problems while gaming for hours and hours, but If I try to run PCMark04, Sandra 2005, Prime95, or Memtest It almost always ends in a hang, or reboot or blue...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I do not have another CPU to test but I did try using Dimm Slots A2 and B2 and had the same results. I suppose I can get an A64 3500+ sometime this week to test. If I still have the same results with 1 less Ultra card and a new CPU then I would have to suspect...

One big feature if you are going to go with an SLI setup is the extra slot between the two PCI Express slots. Most of the other SLI boards that will be coming to market barely have enough space for two cards and the top card is not going to get any kind of good airflow. The asus board has a...
