Just an update...there does appear to be sound but it is so soft I can only hear it in a silent room even though every control I have is set to max. Does anyone know of a secret volume control in Vista?

Just rebuilt my computer and upgraded to Vista. Using Realtek HDA driver updated on 8/31/09. Everything checks out ok in Device Manager and the test sounds come through loud and clear using the Realtek Audio Manager program but, I get no sounds while performing normal Windows functions and...

I replaced the video card and the beep went away. Running like a top now. Thanks

I am getting a long beep code and maybe two short beeps at the end of it. The short ones are really short so I am not sure if they are real or not. I've read elsewhere that one long and two short means either the video card or the port is bad. I replaced the video card with a new one but am...

Just so everyone knows...the Zalman is not the only passive heatsink that works on this board. I put a CoolerMaster Northbridge Chipset Cooler PAC-P01 on mine. Then I took the new fan ASUS sent me, removed the cover and heatsink, then glued the fan to the top of the CM heatsink. So far, it...

No. I am using the NVidia firewall that came with the motherboad. Another detail: The popup says - AVG E-mail Scanner AutoPOP3:Connecting to ens1.eatel.net. My mail server is at mail.eatel.net. Is this the problem?

Thanks for your reply but I am not sure about it. If there is a resident email scanner in Outlook, how do I turn it off so that I dont get conflicts with the AVG scanner? If my question is dumb please explain why. Thanks again...

I have used the AVG Free virus scanning software by Grisoft for a few months now with no problems. A couple of weeks ago, Outlook started hanging up when I opened it. A popup box labelled AVG Email Scanner opens over the sys tray. In the box it says connecting to the ip of my email service...

I had thought about swapping to a Zalman...is it a difficult thing to do?

It does have a fan controller in the bios but I have always left it off. I read in one of these forums that the controller ran the fan too fast so it stays off.

:confused: I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe mother board. The fan on the chipset recently started having difficulty starting up. Once it does start up it runs at about 3 - 4K RPM, every once in a while it slows and spikes downward to <1000 RPM. The voltages coming from the PSU appear to be...

On another forum, someone told me to set my hard drive to Single instead of Master. It worked like a charm. If I hadn't been a noob maybe I would have known but...

This worked. Once I had someone explain what SINGLE was, I did it and it worked!!! 30 sec from 0 to running. Thanks!!

I am not sure what you mean by SINGLE...please explain.
