Illuminix: I went ahead and flashed to the new Beta BIOS, and it is stable as you suggested. Out of curiosity, what are your BIOS settings for USB devices (park mode, etc..)? Have you left these at default? Thanks in advance.

Had to post when I read that the problems appear fixed with the Beta BIOS. Thanks to everyone who irritated EPOX enough to make a change. I'm 50/50 on flashing to a Beta, especially since I have been living with USB 2.0 disabled on the board. We'll see... This brings me to a useful piece...

I am currently experimenting with the BIOS settings for USB items noted in the previous few pages (park mode item to disabled and USB shadow to base memory). I still have the PCI card installed, but USB 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS and I haven't had a crash in 3 days. I'll let you know if the...

A sure fire way to go down the wrong path is to become so convinced of something that you start discounting valuable data that might argue to the contrary. I really only care so much about other people's opinions on this matter, however, because I found enough information in this thread to...

In my original posts on this issue, I indicated that the freezing preceded an upgrade to a dual core processor. That is, it was ocurring with a SINGLE core Athlon 64 3000+. That argues fairly strongly against an "exclusive" X2 processor issue.

Just a breif update to the ongoing USB 2.0 issue. I originally posted at the end of December at which time I was able to elliminate the random freezes with an add-in PCI USB 2.0 card and disabling USB 2.0 function in the BIOS (not actually disabling USB totally, just setting the speed to v1.1)...

I had to register after happening upon this thread. I have been having the random freezing problem with the ep-9npa+ ultra board for some time now. Of interest, I have owned the board since its release (about a year now?), and the freezes did not exist for many months. When they did start...
