The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

Hey, I've had this board up and working great for a few months now. I have 2 x 512 sticks of Crucial Ballistix ddr2 800 and everything was working fine. Last night I tried to add 2 x 1gig sticks of the same Ballistix mem to bring it up to 3 gig. I left the 512 sticks in the black...

BFG 650i Ultra (BFGRINF650iU) available...

BFG page I think NewEgg has the right pics now. It's down to $85.00 after the rebate now. I'm interested in any reviews or opinions that any one has on this board as well.

BFG NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra

I'm about at the point that I'm going to trash my P5N-E SLI from ASUS. I'm looking for a replacement and I saw this board from BFG. Does anyone have any experience with this board that could recommend or not? BFG NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra Thanks.

P5N-E SLI no post after new mem.

Actually I noticed that the keyboard lights do all come on right when you power on, but after that the keyboard is dead. Anybody know of any way to get back to the original bios when I have no way to update them?

P5N-E SLI no post after new mem.

I'm having big problems with my PC. It's been running fine with no problems for months now. Asus P5N-E SLI C2D E6600 BFG 7600 GT OC CRUCIAL BULISTIX 2 X 512 DDR2 800 I bought 2 new sticks of the same Crucial memory, only 1gig each. I had the 2 x512 sticks in the black slots, so I just...

P5N-E Issues.

I picked up some Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 mem and that seems to have solved all my problems. I put it in the black slots and so far everything has worked fine. I initially put all the bios settings at auto and checked through CPU-Z to see how the timings were set. They were...

P5N-E Issues.

OK, I RMA'd my P5N E-SLI and the new board has the exact same problems as the old board. So now I'm left with trying to find new memory that 'might' work with this miserable motherboard. Any suggestions of what memory to try? What has been stable with other people?

P5N-E Issues.

It seems kind of weird that I would have to hook up a second power cable. The only thing on the first one was the DVD drive and the rear fan. I'm not sure what any of that has to do with USB power. Anyway, after having so much trouble with this board I'm RMA'ing it tomorrow. I have to do...

P5N-E Issues.

I found that the problem with the pc not starting with the CD tray open was because I had my Maxtor 100gig usb drive (it uses two usb ports) plugged in. If I unplug the Maxtor drive then it boots find. My PSU has modular connections so I hooked up a separate power cable to the DVD drive and...

P5N-E Issues.

I did all this last night, so I haven't been able to try a different PSU. But I've been having problems of one sort or the other for two weeks now. I've had two different PSU's but found it didn't make any difference in stability. I have the original PSU back in there now. I will try tonight to...

P5N-E Issues.

Well, last night I re-installed windows. Everything was fine for a couple of hours. Then, while I was looking at some photos in 'slide show' and listening to some mp3s the computer just shut down and restarted. I was installing a program and had to restart after installing. When it booted...

MemTest

That's what I thought. I don't think the windows power settings should make a difference because it is boot'ing from the CD and Windows is not loaded. (but I had the monitor off anyway) I started memtest last night at about 1:30am and by 8am I just had a screen full of yellow DOS...

P5N-E Issues.

Well I flashed the bios and cleared the CMOS. I was able to play FarCry on 'very high' settings without any problem. I ran memtest through 2 passes with no errors. I decided at the end of the night 1:30am to run memtest and let it run overnight. When I checked it this morning I...

MemTest

Just wondering, what happens (or should I expect to happen) if I let memtest run overnight. Should it still be running in the morning, or does it 'finish' at some point.

P5N-E Issues.

I am running SP2 on XP Pro. Is there any problem with updating the bios using a USB stick? In the manual it says to press (Alt + F2) during POST, and then you can update from there. (I don't have a floppy drive) I'm going to try that tonight, and then I clear the CMOS. I got my new...

P5N-E Issues.

I'm in the same boat as most of you. I have had nothing but problems since I put this system together. The first problem I had was that it would lock-up while copying the files from the XP cd to the pc for windows installation. (my DVD burner just died the other day and I'm wondering if that...
