A friend and I have spent the evening piecing together his new rig and are having problems getting Vista 32 or 64 to load. BSOD after the setup is loading files page and lists acpi.sys as the culprit other times it just says that it is not acpi compliant, though ASUS clearly states in their specs that the board is acpi 2.0 compliant. We've updated the bios but still ...

Hi All, I'm having a difficult time configuring my Sata drives in a raid configuration. I'm hoping someone has some helpful suggestions... I have 3 sata drives. I'd like one to serve as the XP Pro x64 O/S drive, and the final two (identical) drives in a Raid-1 set. When I set the BIOS Sata Configuration to "RAID" I can't install the O/S. It blue screens with ...

Looking for help here. I just assembled a new ASUS P5Q Deluxe with Q9450 and ati4870 When I power on, I can see the power and reset LEDs on inside the case. Press power and I get a power spike through to the case fans and the GPU and then nothing, doesn't reset have to hard shut off power I checked all components seated okay, checked the 8pin power plug and the ...

Hello all, I'm new to the board. I did a search but hadn't come up with anything; please forgive my (slightly) inebriated query... I built a system around a P5k-e about a month ago. Everything has been great up until an hour ago or so. Suddenly things slowed to a crawl. After a hard reboot I ran Asus PC Probe (or whatever it's called) and found that my mobo ...

I just got a Rampage Formula + Q9450 to replace a Striker Extreme + E6850 that I have OC'd to 3.5Ghz. While I wanted to upgrade to a quad core I don't want to lose too much performance on single threaded apps. So, I'm looking for opinions on whether or not I should be able to get the Q9450 up to say ~3.3Ghz (1680FSB) on the Rampage Formula with STOCK CPU and NB voltages....

I recently bought an Asus Rampage Extreme. It comes with 2 “Speeding HDD” SATA ports. From what I have read, it looks like if you connect 2 identical drives to those ports then it becomes a RAID 0 device without any configurations. Is this correct? Is “Speed HDD” better than RAID 0? Is it better to just setup a RAID on the other SATA ports? Thanks....

Does anyone have any experience running this board with a Q9450? Just bought them and didn't check if it was officially supported (it isn't). When I turn it on it just beeps once and there's no video output. I'm going to borrow a cpu from a friend tomorrow so I can update the bios to the latest revision which apparently supports the Q9xxx processors, although not ...

I purchased two 2 gb sticks of mushkin sp2-6400 5-5-5-12 ram. When I put them into my asus p532e-sli plus mb only one would work. It doesn't matter which one either works fine but itself, but I get a string of bios beeps with I go to place both sticks into the mb. It will beep for a couple of seconds, stop, and then beep again for the same amount of time in an ...

I have just bought an 8800gt xfx as my old 6600gt died. But the trouble is, the system won't post or boot with this new card in. I should probably point out that the old card was AGP and the new card is PCI-E. Does any one have a similar set up or have any idea why this may not be working?

Just like the title states. I have tried the Marvell thing enabled, disabled, and the second setting under it enabled too. I am not sure, but I think the first setting under the marvell ide is supposed to be enabled and the sub setting should be enabled. When I start the computer it looks for the drive, but doesnt find it. I updated to the new bios, but still no ...

I'm trying to build a computer for a family member (who just had hers fried) out of three old computers. I'm using her old harddrive that is loaded with XP, an Asus P3B-F motherboard with a 500mhz pIII processor, almost 700mb of ram and a 160gb hard drive. I get to the menu of choosing which way to start up (since it's been restarted several times) and have tried ...

It's gonna be my first build, and I'm doing my research like crazy. I want to know is the ASUS M3A 770 motherboard is the right one for me. I'm planning on running: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (no overclocking) Sapphire HD3870 512MB (no overclocking) 2GB G.SKILL DDR2 800 WD Caviar 7200RPM 250GB SATA Sony Optiarc IDE DVD-ROM Drive Thermaltake Purepower 500W PSU ...

I have a stock Dell dimension 4700 pc. yesterday, i tried to update the bios (from xp) and after that the system froze, would not start, gave me 5 beeps. i thought that the MB was fried and bought a new P5-GC-MX/1333. Plugged in the Pentium 4 2.8 ghz w HT CPU - just 1 long beep and the system would not start. next bought a core 2 duo cpu, thinking processor was dead ...

1. Does anyone know where to get the drivers for the Realtek HD onboard audio of the P5Q Pro for Windows XP? The driver CD is only for Vista, and I downloaded from the Realtek website version: RealtekHD_Audio_V51005628_V6015628. While I can get left & right stereo, I can't seem to get 5.1 surround sound working. Any idea what I'm missing? 2. I have the Rosewill ...

So please help me... Everytime i play a game or 3d application, my computer suddenly locks up/freezes/crashes. There's ...

Hey guys. My question is about my 5 year old-ish PC. Last year I left the country and had the PC put in storage, it worked at that time. Now I just got it back and it is having some problems. When I first tried plugging it in, the monitor showed no signal. So I played around with my video card and cleared my CMOS a few times. Still nothing. Finally I got my monitor ...
