Big Lar, if you are there mate (or anyone else interested. A small update :o Still no responce from dealer I bought P4C800 from, no refusal or anything. They could have at least replied to my request of help. ASUS on the other hand HAVE replied. They emailed me and stated they think I have a...

Well! Food for thought :o You have given me lots to think about and I will take a couple of days until I decide, not a lot can be done until the start of the week. I go along with your thinking and will try to resolve the Bios problem first. Returning the CPU is a non starter as the retalier...

It could be a bit of a problem flashing the rom or borrowing a Northwood CPU but I will certainly try :o) Bios version 1014 looks as if it will support but 1015 may be better I find it difficult getting around because of my disability so woud you advise going the flash rom way or pushing the...

I understand what you are saying and agree. Perhaps I should not have bought a Prescott but I try to get as future proof as I can when I can afford to. I checked the Flash Rom and this is what is written there. Line by line is states: P4C87 1008 B032 GM P15 the problem is, I cant usee the...

I have not tried that so far but it sounds feasable. I will try it later and let you know, I hope it works as it would solve a load of agro. Cheers :o)

I have used Asus for 10 years and been happy with reliability and functions, a bit pricey but good stuff. This is the first P4 board I have used and usually go for AMD Athlon. I have contacted Dabs Direct for a RMA and await thier decision, for a board costing £151 I would expect better. Watch...

I contacted ASUS Tech support but have had no response accept to say they had my email. I think I will take your advice and contact the retail outlet. Problem (there always s one) I am terminaly ill and bought the board August 2003 planning the build. Was taken very ill and shelved project until...

Thank you for the responce (both posts :o)) I am using a Thermaltake PSU Silent Purepower 480 watt. The case is the Xaser III and is recommended for the P4. It must be the Mboard is at fault then. Is there any way I can be certain of this as to return it not faulty has another financial...
