Yeah unfortunately I have this motherboard and I'm using it right now. I chose it to assemble a cheap computer to run WOW and I've had nothing but headaches from it since I assembled it today. I'm running it with a Socket AM2 3500+ and a dual channel kit of OCZ S.O.E. DDR2 6400 RAM. I'm ready to pull my hair out. The system locks up, it hangs, it randomly reboots. I've never been more disappointed with a motherboard in my life, and I've owned quite a few motherboards. I'll have to keep posting / editing since I might get hit with a random restart at any time...
Well there we go... there was another random restart... anyway, apparently the drivers that Nvidia released just today are causing massive instability, in addition to the RAM problems I'm having... and I'm not entirely convinced that the RAM is bad, I think it has something to do with this motherboard. At any rate... I've had to fall back from the 91.xx drivers to the 84.21 drivers. Here's a rundown of the Mini Behemoth:
Asus M2N-E motherboard
OCZ S.O.E. 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 800 dual channel memory kit (OCZ2SOE8001GK)
XFX PV-T71G-UCE7 GeForce 7900GT PCI-e video card
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans Socket AM2 processor
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB 7200rpm SATA150 HD
NEX ND-3550A DVD/R/RW drive
ThermalTake W0093RU 500W ATX12V power supply
Logitech G5 mouse
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000
Cooler Master Centurion 5 case
BenQ FP202W 20.1" widescreen LCD
There's a chance that I just got unlucky with RAM and one of the OCZ DIMMs is just fubar'ed... at any rate when I hit the sack tonight / this morning I'm going to run Memtestx86+ on this single DIMM here that appears to be working since when I use the 84.21 drivers and a single DIMM the system stability seems to be okay. Needless to say though, these kinds of problems are about the last thing I expect to see from ASUS and I'm pretty ticked off, especially since I got the A8N-SLI Deluxe the day it was released and assembled an SLI system from the get-go and it worked fairly flawlessly... I'm pretty disappointed, frustrated, and pissed off. I expect to see a LOT of improvement via BIOS and driver updates and I expect it with a quickness...
