"It wasnt really running that good" (because it was already dying). That power supply should have been more than enough for a 9600 card. Sounds like a MB problem. Default the BIOS and see what happens.
Your BIOS chip may have failed. I just got my MB back from ASUS as it was doing the same crap you describe. It is apparent that they replaced the BIOS chip as it is marked diffently than before. Try and reset it but get an RMA going if it still doesn't post with a known good CPU and stick of ram.
Aww phoey! I ran the Beta version of IE-8 for a day and found out that my bank doesn't recognize it so no on-line banking. That was it for me and I went back to IE-7 or so I thought. Now I'm running the 64 bit version and it will not run Adobe flash player no matter what! Any ideas?
Yup. I just jumped to the 680i version of the P5N32-E-SLI. No problems at all. Vista wanted to reactivate because I was down for a week but poof, all fine now! ;-)
Vista is pretty sharp with that. I migrated from a P5N-E-SLI 650 & a 6300 to a 6550 and a P5N32-E-SLI plus 650+570 with virtually no hassle. Now Ive melted my Northbridge and will try migrating to the 680i version of the same board. I noticed the driver disks were virtually identical. Good luck.
I'll always remember the 939 as one of the best platforms around. My back-up is an ASUS A7N-266 with an XP-2000 and a gig of ram. It doesn't suck. The main thing I notice with the Core2 is how cool they run. My overclocked Opty 170 was always 40C at idle and 55C - 60C at load. This dog drops...
Make sure you haven't hit a memory hole. I had that happen between 700-800mhz on a P5N-E-SLI board. Finally just left CPU alone and set memory at 900mhz and no problems moving fsb up after that.
The battery simply holds the BIOS settings in memory. A dead battery will cause automatic default settings at boot-up, but it will boot up. Goota go with short or dead MB. :brokenheart:
