drcheesebeer, thanks for the replies. Since I had no way to test components individually I just defaulted to RMAing the motherboard and cpu since I didn't want to waste time sending one at a time. I realize that it's probably not both components that need replacing but maybe they should think...

I looked on the Asus website and the fact I have a 3200+ 90nm doesn't matter if you look at this As you see it says all bios work with this cpu on a A8V-E Deluxe. I tried booting again this morning and first time it said, "system failed vga test". Then I turned it off and on again and it...

I don't know if it matters but with the 6600GT in or out it still says "system failed cpu test". I'd assume this means it goes through steps and it encounters a problem with a cpu before it reaches the video card and not the video card messing up the cpu. Even if it is the problem, I don't...

Yep I pluged the 4 pin into its own spot. CPU is plug in as well as the PSU and case fan. I don't really have any other A64 around to test or update the bios with. Am I able to take out the processor and turn it on and update the bios without it? I don't think this is that type of board...

Hi everyone, I'm building this computer for my friend and I'm stuck right now. Here's what it's got. AMD64 3200+ 393 week 51 Retail Asus A8V-E Deluxe with factory set bios 2x 512 Corsair 3200 CAS 2.5 (VS1GBKIT400 I believe) XFX 6600 GT 128 MB Antec SLK2650-BQE Samsung 120Gb SATA...

I got this back in September for around $730. This price is insane! If you are thinking about one, just get it. I don't notice much for 'ghosting' in games. Only time it looks funny is the background at Ultimate Guitar when you scroll fast. I only got one dead green pixel which I have to...

I had the service plan so that's why I stuck with the 9800 Pro. Normally I have the video card have its own power connector but I did try a the one that went with my DVD drive, still nothing. My BOIS is the latest version (the CN one) but it's been out since 2003. It's something different...

Hi All, long time reader first time poster. I had some problems with my 9800 pro so I popped open the case, fan had stopped spinning and would hardly turn (clean your case often). So I stopped over to Best Buy and picked up a new one. Get home pop it in, 1 long beep, 2 short. So I know video...
