I personally did not test it with the K8NGM2-FID and the computer has been taken apart. When I finally put it together, I will test it out and will let you know. In my previous post, I did not imply in any ways that people do not know how to use WOL. If my message came across that way, please...

for WOL to work, the computers have to be on the same subnet. There are free programs such as mc-wol.exe and fusion wol which are very easy to use. Google for those. mc-wol.exe is a command line util, you specify the MAC address of the other computer, it will send the magic packet and wake...

With decent/good memory, you can easily keep the memory at ddr400 with 10x multiplier with the freq set at 240. You may have to the HTT to 4x. If not stable, you may have to give vcore a little bump. Good luck and have fun

Hi Nick, sorry about the "Earl" thing. I was not thinking straight... I am very certain that this is NOT a motherboard problem. It's a problem with MCE and the NVidia purevideo decoder. Another forum specifically talks about what we are seeing and everyone has different hardware. Read here...

Hi Earl, My name is Daniel. I spent some time tonight testing / checking the configuration. Here are what i found: 1. To get to the "spdif passthrough", it is under the dvd/audio setup. I did not spend much time to figure out how to quickly get to that but this is what you can do: go to...

My guess is MSI stops making it because new processors from AMD are AM2 type socket. Anyone knows if AMD stop making 939 socket processors?

Where did you find the Silicon Image controller on the MSI K8NGM2-FID motherboard?. This mobo has the GEForce 6150 and Nforce 430 chipset. - nForce 430 supports dual channel native SATA II controller up to 300MB/s - nForce 430 supports RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 The RAID option via the Nforce...

Are you not getting "correct" surround sound from your receiver?. What I meant is if the digital out is an AC-3 stream but your receiver somehow down sample it to pro-logic?. Try this: - play a movie that you know for sure has AC-3 audio. - if your receiver is not seeing the AC-3 stream...

Can you post the exact model of your seagate and Western didgital SATA drives.

Yes. You can config the SPDIF to pass through the signal to your receiver so it can decode the signal. At the same time, you can use the analog output (green port) to connect to the TV left and right input. In winMCE setup, select the 2 speaker setup. So what you have at the end is: 1...

Wow ... I don't know. I really hate to believe that BIOS 3.5 has anything to do with it. 3.5 been out for a while and no SATA disk problems have been reported. I suggest you try some of the diaganostic tools from seagate site (http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/utils.html) and possibly low...

As far as the share memory setting and NB-SB speed, I guess you have to try out what will be best for you. I think you are ok with 64 MB and 800 MHz. With 1080i I sometimes see choppiness but not much. Running @720p, my cpu utilization is about 20-33 %. I see that you have a GEforce...

The afud408.exe flash utility is probably the latest version, it's ok. The latest bios 3.5 works with that. Your bootable floppy disk just need to have afud408.exe and the 3.5 bios file.

What's your share memory for the onboard video is set at (in the BIOS) and also the CPU to NB and NB to SB frequency set to?.

You are probably hearing the built-in on-board speaker emitting a warning. The warning can be overheating, fan not working. Are you using the MSI alert program, when you hear the beep, look at the alert screen to see if you can see anything.
