HAHAHAHA!!!! Did I say it was FIXED?! I spoke too soon!! The simple truth is that now I know how to fix it when it breaks...which is about every 6-10 hours. Also of note (and not corrected by the CMOS clear) is that my floppy no longer works. It HAS to be a bad board....what else could it be?!

Wow....resetting the CMOS was all that was necessary for this little 'issue' to be corrected. It's the only thing I didn't do prior to calling Asus. Once I reset the CMOS I found that through this adventure I had blown a EIDE cable. Once that was replaced I was back in business! Thanks for...

-bump- I REALLY need help on this one guys.

Both boards came from Spartan Technologies. (www.spartantech.com) They have been good with me thus far, but their magnanimous attitude could wear thin pretty quick I'd think....

Yes, I currently have the Plextor slaved to my Western Digital and it reports and functions fine. I damned sure hope it's not the board..I just got the damned thing after sending back a defective Gigabyte 7VRXP! I'm gonna cry....

I just tried that a second ago...it still comes out jumbled (in the bios and in windoze) I.e. Plextor is listed PLXTVR and is unusable in windoze.

I purchased an A7V333 (without RAID) and am suddenly having problems. I have 1 Western Digital 40GB ATA100 drive, and one Maxtor 80GB ATA133 on the primary chain and one Plextor 16/10/40A and a Kenwood Tru72X CDROM on the second chain. Both chains are using ATA133 cables. After working with...

I'm a little lost on the "using 2700 RAM and not overclocking it will raise latency" statement. If I am running a 333 board with CAS2 2700 RAM, why would the latency be higher than a 266 based board with 2100 RAM?

Setting the Ram at cas 2.5 and 266 seemed to have done the trick. The board seems stable and mostly responsive. (I ran Sandra and 3DMark for a half hour looped without a hiccup) This board is definately getting RMA'ed as I paid for 333....I'm GETTING 333....A7V333 here I come. Thanks again...

It has to be the high speed memory. I'll clock this thing down a bit and get back to you guys on what happens....

I'm getting incredible instability with this board. I'm running CAS2 PC2700 256 Corsair with the newest BIOS and my system either locks, becomes incredibly unstable or reboots outright after but 5-10 minutes sometimes. Other times I can run for an hour before it acts like I'm running a Pentium...

Augh!! WHERE did you get the board?! I can't find ANY distributor who is carrying it until at least the 26th. :/ (Btw...I'm in the USA)
