Faulty PC problem ID...

Seems to have made a difference, at least its booting correctly and at a reasonable time now... I'm thinking it's still acting slow because of a bloated windows. Going to put a spare DVD drive in and have a go reformatting with a fresh install to see how it is after.

The OS, questionable. It has given me trouble since I first went to load Windopes XP Pro 32. Admittedly I have not reloaded Windopes since the bios flash, but I have a huge and very complex software install, so that is the last resort. The Ram , It has had the same RAM in it from the getgo. The "Fastman" got it working perfectly with this RAM , though he might conceivably have messed with the timings to do so. As for the...

If you have a DVD drive that has a problem, the mobo may not be detecting it properly. The upshot of which is normally a very slow boot, or no boot at all. Try it with the DVD drive disconnected.

You seem to have plenty of drives so just format one of them i.e. do a full windows xp install on it , disconnect the other drives 'which have your complex software loaded' go into bios and load basic settings (forget about messing with ram or cpu voltages) and you should be well on your way to isolating your problem especially since you said that you have had trouble since you loaded the operating sys. (first or second post I think...

You have 4GB of ram . You could try +.1, +.15 up to +.2v MCH to see if that helps with stability. While Sandra has some useful benchmarks it can get a lot of things wrong, and a lot of the warnings are unnecessary or relate to other or older hardware than yours. I don't use it for troubleshooting.

You sure it was the board and not the operating system, or memory or PSU etc?

Welcome to the forums Without having the machine here to test, it's difficult to diagnose. What happens if you remove your cooling device and simply have a single hard drive with your XP install on and no other devices plugged in? No sound card etc.

Set up in the bios 1st like you did then you need to reboot and press f8 i think or what ever option it is to get it to the raid options and then set up what raid you want ie raid0 ect. Then reboot and install windows and the drivers for the raid but i would not use the asus site go to the intel site and get the more updated ones. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...15251&lang= ...

I'm just in the middle of building a HTPC, which uses W7 - it has the ability to stream Video, TV, Music etc., using the media streaming functions and a BT Homehub 2 over wireless from a Freesat setup. Managing to watch TV upstairs on a different channel to downstairs on my PC using a Haupauge card, and fitted it with 1.5Tb of drives at the mo, in an Antec P182B. May be a different ...

No, we are not affiliated with DFI in any way, so no special treatment All I can suggest is to go directly tot he DFI site and start and online RMA, I think they will contact you and let you know what info you need to send with the board. As far as I know, when you start the RMA online, it'll ask you for a few numbers off the board. Easy enough.

Is a GTX260 out of the price range? Advance Technologies | Zotac graphics cards - Zotac Pci-Express graphics cards - Zotac 8600GT Graphics Cards - Zotac 8400GS Graphics Cards £112 here. If the missus uses any software that can use cuda then its an Nv card you want i reckon. If it was just games i might have a different view.

Wait. Wait until the pound starts to show signs of an improvement. The British economy is still shrinking whereas the US economy has shown signs of growth. This all adds up the sky high prices over here, you only need to look at the price 800MHz DDR2. Not so long ago i bought 4GB for a friend which cost me £40. That same kit now runs at close to £80. Wait a while.
