I agree with MLC also clock back or even enable Q&C I preffer that mode now, as I have not a single program other then p95 that even come close to using all of the avaliable bandwith of the cpu. OC is at best unstable with this board, and the bios is getting locked down tighter with each update it seems. I see they knocked the voltage down on winnes like mine.
I run the Nvidia port as it is native and seems(or one would assume) to run better due to direct support. I find it odd that ASUS chooses to put a marvel port onboard also, or is there some ethernet thing I don't know about here.
About the only change I noticed before I left on vacation was that the nvdia firewall was even less forgiving and did not work at all even in anti-hacking mixed with windows firewall. I have not had much time to monkey with it since I updated so I just shut it off entirely.
Of course that could be me since I installed(against my better judgement) the free norton software as had no other at the moment. I wonder if the nforce chipset is offloading and locking up causing the mobo reset? Isnt that an option in acitve armor?
---Also I just thought about this intially I did get the occasional restart, esp after I had my hands in the case or the even just opened it. For the first couple days, I wrote it off as a burn in thing, only happened after I booted and windows loaded(within 20 seconds). Has since stopped to my knowledge(wifea nd kids never said anything) although my reboots have been minimal in the meantime.
The only other things I can think of too is the confilicting sound driver/card/software. I installed nvidias software for the sound board and that was a big mistake. I do remember that it hung up the system something fierce, but not rebooting.
AND or is your harddrive on the IDE or SATA(and if so which). Some of the SATA ports are also locked, refer to the OC guide as i specifes(i think 1&2 are on the NV) I don't have my puter infront of too look.
