    I just setup ASUS Premium mobo....

    Yeah, your system is similar. RIGHT! Dude, you got a monster there. How much it cost you so far? :) I don't even want to know. As soon as I am done with residency and get a real Radiology job I will certainly splurge.

    Lost my Start Menu programs in Win XP Professional!

    So, everything was fine. My system logged me off by time limit, and when I logged back in, my start menu reverted to a fresh installation "look". When I went to the all programs list, all the folders are there but they are all EMPTY! Also, all the programs not in folders are gone! I am clueless...

    Turned off NCQ and now no issues with A8N-SLI

    Thanks for the reply ChicagoPCGuy. I have tried multiple Asus bios' and am currently using the 1008.01 beta. The standalone kit is the newest 6.53 from Nvidia. As far as the Asus revision, I got the A8N-SLI when it first came out. Thanks for any other info. Oh yeah, I do believe many others...

    Turned off NCQ and now no issues with A8N-SLI

    Ok, I have a 300 GB Maxline, Athlon 4000+, 1 GB OCZ 3200 Platinum Rev. 2. I am on my freaking 5th or 6th install of Windows XP Professional. I install clean and put in the Forceware Nforce 4 drivers (new ones) and all seems good. Then, no overclocking mind you, I get random lock ups requiring me...

    2000 MhZ FSB????

    http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/showp...530&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=3289 Someone posted this link about Cebit. MSI shows a board with 2000 mhz FSB with a Nforce 4 Ultra chipset. This is only the "pseudo" hypertransport speed right?

    Well, like GuitarDaddy, I can't OC like I did with 1004 either. Back I go as well.

    Difficulty OCing a 4000+

    So Anand's review of SLI boards can push this chip to nearly 2.9 Ghz on the DFI board. I unfortunately am running an A8N, but regardless, my chip will not post at even 2.7 Ghz. I am at a loss. I am running the same RAM as in the article too. OCZ 3200 Platinum rev. 2. I am using the Zalman 7700...

    Why does everyone want the DFI board when MSI bests it on HardOCP and Anandtech

    The HardOCP review LOVES the board. They run 375 with lower multipliers but still hit 2800+ mhz. So, same end speed but higher FSB doin it!

    Why does everyone want the DFI board when MSI bests it on HardOCP and Anandtech

    The review at HardOCP pushed the MSI board further than the DFI board for OC. They hit 375 FSB!! Geez, I gotta get rid of my A8N!

    A8N SLI Deluxe Maxtor 300GB SATA NCQ issue

    I am running this with no problem. The beta 1003 gave me issues, but the 1004 series works fine.

    New A8N-SLI 1004 final BIOS installed from Asus update and then no boot and NTLDR cannot be found

    So I installed the final 1004 BIOS from the ASUS update. Install went fine. Booted up, set configuration and when I let it boot, it came up with message NTLDR cannot be found. WHAT??? So I fixed it after doing some research and had to regenerate my boot.ini file as well. It all worked and then...

    Overclocked A8N with AIBooster and corrupted bootsector???

    How would this happen? I pushed the HTT to 235 or so, the computer locked and then would not reboot. I had to reinstall everything! Any ideas? God I wish I had DFI.

    BIOS OC Suggestions for 4000+, Asus A8N with OCZ Platinum 3200 v2

    Ok, guys have everything listed in title and cannot boot with FSB at 240 like others were successful with. The AI Booster runs the machine fine at 220 with ram at 2-3-3-5 and I get over 2.6 ghz. Can someone post bios setting for me that work for RAM at 240 with my processor. Maybe I did...

    Any thoughts on OC potential of A8N versus DFI?

    So Guitardaddy, I take it, your FSB speed is higher than your ram speed? Did you set some lesser multiple so that the RAM would not supercede the 240 limitation? I am kind of new to overclocking but thought the RAM ran at FSB speeds unless a lesser multiplier was set. Can you give me your...
