@sgtdic - Thanks for the reply. If it is true for everyone that the bottom PCI slot shares the IRQ with the PCIE slot, then that is strange engineering by Epox... While it is nice to know that other PCI cards won't freeze my computer (most likely), you'd think there are enough IRQ numbers out...

Hey all, Haven't posted for awhile and felt like saying something... Made a discovery (I think) as to why my computer was still freezing even after the USB 2.0 issue fixed BIOS, and that was because of IRQ sharing between the 3rd PCI slot filled by my TV capture card and my video card in...

modempower - I actually don't think it will because of the memory, and that's why they came out with the SI-97 or whatever (feel free to correct me if I am wrong here). But actually you can save money and do what I did and use a 120mm fan with an XP-90 (!!!) and you should get very similar...

Umm - What does eating your NAS mean? I had no problems upgrading from the Beta Bios to the latest one using the Magic BIOS utility, and you can always just save the .bin file to a CD and upgrade using the alt - f2 trick to start Winflash at bootup. I don't know why you were even on the Beta...

Swamyg1 - Someone can correct me if I am wrong here, but I am quite certain that this is cycling of codes before FF is NORMAL. That is what happens for me - all the different codes do not necessarily signal an error but rather what part is being accessed at that time. As long as you eventually...

I have to agree with RideFree here. Do you know why they came out with a BIOS fixing the USB issues so many people had after ignoring it for so long? Not to toot my own horn, but I did so many hours of research and was on the phone with Epox USA nearly every other day as well as emailing them...

LOL - I would not want to be the one to find out if the BIOS's are interchangeable! He might have the SLI version, and be ok, but I wanted to make sure he was aware of the difference.

Meuge - From your signature, it appears you have the 9npa Ultra rather than the SLI version (which is the BIOS you requested). I hope that you are positive that you flash the correct BIOS because flashing the wrong one can be very bad! The Ultra version is on a website that I posted earlier on...

Are you asking if I had the PCMark problem with my ram at 1T but everything else at stock? 1T isn't stock; that's why I ask. As I recall, everything worked just fine at 1T with everything else at stock when I tried that sometime ago, but I would have to run it again to verify as it's been...

LZ1GJD - Which BIOS are you using? I actually have the same issue with PC Mark with my OCZ Plat Rev 2 @1T, but I think that was only when I overclocked. Since I am using the Beta BIOS, I wasn't sure if that was related or if it was common with previous BIOS versions, but it's not something to...

swamyg1 - I actually uploaded that Beta Bios to the site's moderator, and he verified its integrity, so it is fully legit. I know why you might be hesitant because it's not from an Epox site or person, but you can download a program called "modbin6" and open the Bios before you flash to see. If...

I don't have the SLI board, so I'm afraid I don't have the Beta BIOS for that (sounds like RideFree does ;) ) But I posted the 2/9/06 Beta BIOS for the other 9npa versions at the Rebels Haven 9npa Ultra Bios Page... Here Strange that Epox is sooo slow to finalize it, but at least in the...

Except that isn't really true regarding the Beta BIOS, as everything is the same with the IRQ assignments and or sharing between the last final BIOS and the Beta BIOS. The Beta BIOS is only recommended for people who freeze with high speed USB 2.0 devices (with a high correlation to X2 users)...

Mem - I have never heard of a USB DVD burner that caused freezing, and I think you said that you bought a USB Wireless adapter but your Net connection was slow so that was why you thought you were never affected. If you buy a USB HD and you can successfully transfer 15 Gb, then I say your...
