Anyone else had this problem with the Asrock mobo. When I close IE screens it seems to scroll downwards instead of just disappearing instantly, also when using Media player 10 at reduced screen size the visualisation seen to be in slow motion, However at full screen its normal. I'm also getting a massage at PC pitstop about my graphics running really slow. This happens on the large number counting screen when running the full tests.

I've even re-installed windows thinking that I had a bad install but its still the same.

I've tried BIOS versions 1.90 and 2.10 but same problem. My AGP card is a XFX 7600gs. I've altered many settings in the BIOS but to no avail

Any Ideas?

Check the AGP settings in the BIOS--make sure the Adapter type is set to AGP and not PCI--it's kind of easy to miss the AGP settings unless you scroll to the bottom in the Chipset settings. There are a number of AGP settings to try, but the Adapter type is probably the most important. I also set the AGP calibration to enabled.

What does AGP calibration do?

I'm using an X800xt and if I don't enable AGP calibration, the card doesn't run at 8x.

with an ax800pro
there is no need for that..
btw beside atis crapy drivers these cards with a core 2 duo can run anything very good.
i cant make this card work together with m$ netframe.. (i using only the driver now)and drivers need 2 lock the pc once before they work ok at instalation..
eyrything ok after.. obviusly atis m$ policy can be blamed for that..(off topic )

Can I use PC2100 with this board? I'd like to reuse my old mem if possible.

I know that the manual says that DDR266 memory is supported, but I haven't checked to see how the motherboard handles the DDR memory bus speed dividers. So, I'm not sure if that memory speed is available with all frontside bus speeds or not.

I assume that someone running DDR memory on this board could clarify that for you.

I think your PC2100 memory can run at 262 speed. The calculation is 2100 / 8 = 262.

I think it should be okay with any Pentium CPU that runs on 200 FSB. That would include any Pentium Dual Core processor. If you see this AnandTech's article, you will see the motherboard has a 3:2 ratio avaiable:

http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2810&p=4

With that ratio your memory would run at:

200 / 3 * 2 * 2 = 266

Compared to the 262 value calculated above, that would suit your PC2100 memory very well. You may be able to overclock it some as well. But I doubt if that memory would run with a Conroe processor with 266 FSB. That would result in too much speed for the memory. It may not be able to handle it.

after updating to 2.20. my CPU fan seem won't slow down, (i have enable cpu quiet, 45c threshold) now. eventhough the cpu is already 42c, the fan keep rotating at 2800-2900rpm (stock intel), before it was already slowed down at 1200rpm.

will testing it for another day, if still the same.. go back to 2.10 then

I went back to 2.10...same problem here, the cpu fan at stock rpm all time. Did you read the description at Asrock's web? BIOS 2.20: Fine tune CPU Quiet Fan function...very funny

ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA

Is this truly a new model or just a box name change for the 775Dual-VSTA?

Interesting but this link shows that the 775Dual-VSTA already supports the quad cores when updated to at least the 2.10 BIOS.

Perhaps it's just a name change to make things super clear?

ASRock introduces yet another model the 4CoreDual-VSTA.

You maybe right but the above quote of (another model) makes me think that there is going to be more than a new box print.

:roll:

 

[Mr Vain]

I wonder if the bios on the 4CoreDual-VSTA is interchangeable with the 775dual-vsta bios and if it has more options???

Can anyone confirm whether pc2100 ddr266 ram will work with a conroe on this motherboard?

 

[arielp]

hmm.. anyone using bios 2.20.. i wonder, if your cpu fan ever slowdown when cool? when i flash to 2.20.. the CPU fan wont slowdown.. revert back to 2.10 it work fine, only full speed at >46c.. and low speed <45...

about the PC2100 .. yes you can use PC 2100 .. if not why it listed on the bios ...
it cannot use PC1600 100Mhz DDR ...

2100 up its ok

 

[soybeast]

hmm.....but a core 2 duo with pc2100? One of the posters above says it might not work....

 

[nosleep]

pc2100 (133) is an option in the bios so yes, it is officially supported.

 

[soybeast]

Has anyone personally tried it yet?

 

[FMA]

soybeast,

Sorry. I checked the manual and it says that it supports DDR266. So, I was worong. You memory should work.

 

[soybeast]

Cool beans...and very good too since I already bought the mobo and the e6300. Once I get my new psu and go home for thanksgiving I"ll set it all up and let you guys know how it goes.

hello

I have cheap ddr1 400Mhz now, when I will buy 775dual-VSTA,
Can I turn-off dual channel on this mobo ? i have 2x512, but on 400mhz frequency
i have some errors when dual channel is enabled, and i must disable it or turn down freq. to 333Mhz for memory.

Sorry for my english, please help.

Yes, there is an option in the BIOS to select between dual and single channel memory configurations.

 

[zaqzax]

I have bought this mobo today, PCB is P.1.80
tomorrow i will buy e6400 and i hope all will be OK.

i pay 200zl (49Euro) for this mobo, cheap.
manual book is very short and too easy ! :-D

I read all posts and I fear but a lot of people have problems,
but I'm very excited, uff

(sorry for my english)

 

[zaqzax]

please help!

I have now Galaxy Geforce 7600gs agp8x now
I dont know voltage of this card, must be 1,5v for work
I dont want to burn this card.

:-/

 

[aussieburger]

the 7600gs will be ok

I believe that you have to go back to older video cards that only worked with 1X and maybe 2X AGP slots to have a problem. They used 3.3v signaling. Any card that specifies 4x-8X AGP support will use the 1.5v signaling found on current motherboards.

 

[zaqzax]

actualy i have bios in 1.80 ver.
what is new in newest 2.20 ? is necessary ?
