Did you install the Microsoft UAA driver?

Might have to reinstall the sound driver afterwards,

1. yes

3. for the most straightforward setup hook the HD up to the Intel SATA and leave it on legacy IDE until you have Windows installed and the Intel chipset driver. Then you can flip it to native mode.
4. Pretty much
I think the motherboard resets to your default FSB if it is unable to successfully post at a higher clock speed. Saves you the trouble of resetting the CMOS. Sounds like your rig is able to POST ok sometimes at 400, but sometimes fails.
I could be wrong here but if you can get your...
I went through the same thing but for the 2nd controller when the driver wizard popped up I had to install it as a "standard IDE device" or something like that, which was one of the driver options that XP gave me. DVD drive works dandy now. I think flipping the BIOS into AHCI mode essentially...
I assume you have your RAM in slots 1 and 3, the two yellow slots? Just leave the RAM timing at default until you can get the thing running stable. If you leave the timings on auto the motherboard will attempt to come up with the safest timings.
BIOS updates are cumulative, in that each...
as long as you are bridging that jumper for 5-10 seconds it will reset the CMOS. You don't usually have to power it up or anything like that. I have been using a long skinny flat-head screwdriver for it and it works fine.
pretty normal for the NB to get almost scorchingly hot. Some guys are zip-tying a fan to it, I installed a Jing Ting on mine (see my post on page 10 with pics). It seems to have helped a bit.
I'm just saying if you can pull the Audigy and rule it out as a cause, you'll be one step along...
Ditch the Audigy and see if you have the same problem with the onboard ICH8 sound. That will at least rule out the Audigy as a cause. I'm thinking it is a problem on your video card.
Why do that? The CPU fan ought to be on the CPU_FAN header, no? Put either a case fan or your power supply's fan sensor wire on the SYS_FAN header.
I guess I'd think the CPU_FAN takes power off the main ATX supply rather than the ATX_12v by the CPU. I could be wrong about that though...
Rashean700 do you have a fan plugged into the SYS_FAN header by the floppy connector? I decided to put the fan sensor wire from my power supply on there. I have seen boards (not specifically this one though) not want to stay on if there isn't a good signal from a chassis fan.
