I have a quick question about the ASUS P4S8X motherboard and the EZ Flash BIOS update utility I hope someone can help me with. I didn't find an answer to this by searching the forums, unless I just missed it. The manual states to dowload the BIOS file and save it to a floppy disk. I got...

I never knew there was a patch, so no, I never did that.

davidos, I run XP Pro, use an x800xl and an A64 3200+ and I never had the sbzengine problem, sorry to hear you're experiencing it. Check out the official game forum @ http://community.vugames.com/WebX?14@@.f0088b0 Tons of info there on fixes for that problem. Hope you get it working...

I think PremiumG is asking if you need the physical copper telephone line into the premise in order to have DSL service (ADSL, SDSL, HDSL, whatever type). The answer to that is yes. If PremiumG is asking if you need "phone" service, meaning local or long distance voice, then no, not always...

Look again at the memory combination matrix in the manual closely. Memory installed in DIMM slots 1 & 3 as you have will work, but only run at DDR333 speeds. To achieve dual-channel DDR, install your two sticks of 512 RAM in the 1st two slots closest to the CPU, DIMM1 (green) & DIMM2 (purple).

So does anyone have a Viewsonic VX924 yet? I don't think it's available just yet from what I can find, but maybe someone got one already, just checking.

Ok, I resolved my problem with the auto-restart after shutdown thing. I updated the firmware on both of my optical drives (one Samsung DVD+-RW and one Aopen CD+-RW), and also unchecked the box in Properties-->advanced Settings of the onboard LAN controller that says something about, "allow...

I'm enjoying mine very much. No problems here, as I mentioned above. Well, one small one actually. Sometimes when I shutdown (Start->Shutdown) and the PC has completely powered down, it will restart on it's own after about 10-20 seconds. I've unchecked the box in WinXP Pro to not...

Berg, Not sure if you got any more info for your question yet, but I just upgraded 2 weeks ago using this board (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum), with WinXP Pro, an Athlon64 3200+ Winchester, 1GB of Corsair VS RAM, and a built by ATI Radeon x800XL (my XL does not have an extra power connector). I...

msicomputer.com now has this board listed on their site. The picture looks exactly like the Neo4 Platinum (has a 4x PCI-E slot). This board definitely has the Nforce4 chipset (1GHz HT), not the Ultra or the 4x. Does this board really have a 4x PCI-E slot though?? The pics on some of the...

timrsl, was your system overclocked when you fired up the XL for the first time?

I'm considering the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum as the one to go with for my upgrade, but I was hoping one of you currently using it could comment on the onboard sound of the non-SLI version. In AT's Nf4 SLI roundup article, the MSI K8N Neo4 Plat/SLI had great sound performance due to the onboard...

I thought I read about the 4x PCI-E slot on this board somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it now. Is that 4x slot capable of accepting a second PCI-E video card, or what exactly is the advantage of the 4x slot here instead of 2 single 1x PCI-E slots like on several other Nforce4 boards?

Why are you confused? He said he's willing to try anything. This is a minor thing to be sure of before going to alot of other trouble. Albeit, the problem is probably something much more in-depth and elusive to find. Hope you get it figured out soon lather, good luck.

Have you tried swapping out the monitor and trying another one? I've seen faulty monitors be the cause of random reboots before. Just something to consider.
