Ok...postmortemIA, what do you remember having your settings in the BIOS for your HD when you installed your OS? Mine was just as it was when I updated the BIOS> ATA IDE-set to NATIVE and the CONFIGURE SATA AS... IDE? will that work for the HD? I've heard that setting it to AHCI might cause some...

Hey postmortemIA, Your suggestion worked! Went into the BIOS/Advanced Menu/Drive configuration/ATA IDE-set to NATIVE. Then went to Configure SATA AS and it was set to RAID so changed it over to IDE, exit and save. Inserted ISO cd, hit ENTER key and off to the races! Updated BIOS to 0413...

Finally finished! Tested board first before installing it in the case. Board lit up, booted to BIOS screen, was able to navigate around BIOS. BIOS says my CPU (E8400 3.0GHz) is running at 2.0Ghz due to the BIOS that came with the board. Did the wire routing thing so everything is all tidy...

Going to do most of the stuff today. I must need a keyboard otherwise I can't figure out how you would navigate through the BIOS to set up the boot order. My hard drive is new/empty with nothing on it. Have the Samsung SH 203n sata CD/DVD drive installed. 2x2GB of Kingston ValueRam PC800 5-5-5 @...

I know I'll need the CD/DVD rom. And a keyboard (USB type). How about the HDD? Set the boot order for the CD drive to boot first with the .ISO bootfile, right? Thanks for your help! You've been the only one coming back to answer my questions.

thanks postmortemIA I did make a .ISO CD disk. Do you need the CPU installed or can you boot to BIOS then BOOT screen without it?

postmortemIA I just got my board today. Concern now is the BIOS that's on the board as it comes out of the box. My proc is the Intel E8400. So wondering if I just install the CPU will the board boot with the BIOS that's on the board? I know I'll need to update to the latest (0413) if I can get...

thanks for the reply! Did you need to update your BIOS after installing your x64 SP1? My thoughts are that when they shipped the board that the BIOS was a bit old and would make installation of Windows Vista SP1 a problem but after a BIOS update to the latest version might smooth things out (a...

Hi all, Looking for anyone with problems running Windows Vista SP1 32bit OS on a Intel DP35DP motherboard. I just got one but have seen some threads in Microsoft TechNet forum saying that there are some compatibility issues using just this mobo. Anyone have this board running Vista SP1 32bit...

Gang, I'm trying to decide which mobo could be more reliable. I know it could be a toss-up but I posted this to everyone who might have either one of these motherboards or could comment on their experience using them or installing them for friends. I'm also trying to keep the cost down as these...

@OP...I just received Antec Solo case w/ Antec Eathwatts 430w PSU in a combo deal from Newegg for $120 + tax and ship'n.

mrkurns...I'm also building my first computer and considering the P35-DS3L. I haven't got as far as you on the build but I have been reading just about every forum on the net regarding installation problems, snags, questions, even those who say "mine installed perfectly!". When you get it up and...

First time poster Zeron11...If you can get into the BIOS with your one stick, can you set timing to 5-5-5-15? Bad module? Well I've heard that G.Skill is pretty easy with just about every mobo out there but there's always that 1 in a 100 chance that you got a bad stick. I'll be coming back here...
