I tried chaning the jumper so that the IDE HD is set up as a slave but that didnt work and yes did change the IDE cable from primary to secondary that didnt work either.
i dont have the floppy that came with it (that was a long time ago lol) but i did download the latest drivers from silicon...
The problem is in the BIOS i only see HD and there is no option for SATA. I tried making the DVD RW master on the primary and the IDE as slave so it would boot from SATA instead but that didnt waork. I then changed the IDE HD from the primary IDE channel to the seconday IDE channel (now on the...
Hi
I am hoping that some one can help me with this and excuse me for not reading all 75 pages of this thread :)
I finished installing a new Seagate SATA 250 GB HD to my Asus A7N8X Deluxe so now i have an old IDE 80 GB HD and a new 250 GB disks. I unplugged the IDE drive and installed a...
Thanks for all the advice, i am getting a multimeter tomorrow to check the PSU and i am also getting 2 new sticks of ram to test if they fail as well then it is safe to assume it is something else other than the ram that is failing
OK i am making progress here thanks for all the responses i memtested it over night on stock everything and found 9 errors all in test no. 8

Does that mean it is my RAM? I tested in dual channel configuration, so i guess the next step...
A bit hard to do unfortunately since non of my friends own a 939 Mobo :(
I am not sure if hardware hsops offer a testing service or should i just RMA it and hope for the best which is replacement otherwise they will send it back after testing it and they will say it is working correctly
um not sure if it is the advanced memory test, with the DFI eXpert board memory test is in the bios so you just enable it there and restart it will load memtest and start testing
i havent touched the advanced options and wouldnt know how to set it up so if you can help that would be great...
well i tried the UBCD as pointed out in an earlier post and selected the prime 95 option it starts running and fails after less than 2 mins (twice)
then tried booting into windows and i get the windows logo (starting windows with the progress bar) and i get BSOD (IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS)...
i read this quite a bit on google so did a clean install and didnt install any of the nforce drivers including the onboard nic and the firewall software it seems a bit more stable now but still cant prime
yes I checked the Seagate website and used their web based utility to run the 3 diagnostic tests they offer all came back OK.
the OC was staright forward increase the FSB to 250 MHZ (from 200) my memory is rated for 250 MHZ operation so no need for dividers and everything was solid at stock...
thanks for the detailed advice, i am getting a multimeter on monday to measure the 12v and 5 v but how do i identify them? and do i do that while the pc is under load or idling? does it matter?
i reinstalled windows and left out the nivida drivers for onboard nic (using the marvel instead)...
My 5 months old rig that was rock solid is giving me endless grief. It was overclocked for a while to start of with until I started getting the dreaded BSOD (it was running at 2.5 1:1 stock voltage).
I asked for help on this forum and after playing around a bit I decided to drop everything...
No i dont which is a good point, i am going to go out today and buy a UPS or at least a surge protector
EDIT- what do i need to check the 12v rail on the PSU?
should I be concerned that this sort of thing happened after 5 months? if it happened overnight sure its not stable and I would then run it at stock speed. I am a bit concerned that the chip might be on the way out and this is just an early warning sing. what do you think?
