Asus P4P800

I can see that no one bothered replying to the question. I had seen another thread in the same forum about this and decided to do a little reading (perhaps I should have checked that first). Anyhow, for those of you who will encounter this problem, it could be one of two things (since I adjusted...

Asus P4P800

Just recently put the following system together and I cannot it get it to get past the post screen (so that I can boot to BIOS settings): Asus P4P800 Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz Mushkin PC3200 2x512 Blue line RAM I have read in a few other posts that maybe a bad HSF placement could cause this, ie...

Mushking PC2700 & Asus P4S8X

I have finally gotten everything to run as smoothly as possible with this motherboard. Unfortunately, my Mushking PC2700 512MB DIMM will only run at 133MHz. If I bump the frequency up to 200MHz it crashes my OS. Any ideas as to what the problem is? I've tested the RAM and everything checks out...

Windows XP Woes!

I am running into a blue screen problem while attempting to install Microsoft Windows XP onto a Western Digital 120GB HD. This is a brand new system configuration and everything is set to default. The BIOS detects my optical drive and the HD without a hitch. It is sitting on the primary IDE...

P4S8X Problems..

The jumpers for all of the devices attached to the IDE controllers are fine. As for my copy of Microsoft Windows XP, it is VERY legit. It is store bought with a CDKEY, etc. I've even thought of calling Microsoft's customer service. However, my previous conversations with their technical support...

P4S8X Problems..

I managed to fix the IDE problem. However, now after formatting the HD to NTFS using Windows XP I am experiencing this problem during installation: PAGE_FAULT_AT_NONPAGE_AREA (something close anyhow). Does anyone know what the cause of this could be? I will update the BIOS right now and see...

P4S8X Problems..

Thanks a million bargenner. Who would have thought that crossed wires would pose such a problem? I have removed the front USB connecters in question and amazingly the secondary IDE channel is now operational. Was driving me absolutely nuts! Well, I'm now off to try and get Windows XP installed...

P4S8X Problems..

It is definitely not the video card. I have just finished testing the same setup with an ABit Siluro GeForce 2MX and the BIOS still refuses to detect anything attached to the secondary IDE channel. From what I have read on the various forums. Only a handful of users are experiencing problems...

P4S8X Problems..

Well, seeing as how nothing is helping, I'm going to strip this motherboard down and hopefully get it exchanged. I'm quite sure that the secondary IDE channel was somehow damaged. Could even have been a design flaw. This is quite disappointing.

P4S8X Problems..

As for your first suggestion, I have double checked and made sure both IDE channels are enabled (this is set by default). I am going to take a look at that thread; though everything seems to work fine with the exception of the secondary IDE channel. I'm rather doubtful that it could be the video...
