    Asus A8N SLOOOW bootup 1011 BIOS 6.65 nforce 4

    I've managed to find the solution so to help anyone else with the same problem, this is it. The reason my (and numerous others I found after doing lots of research) took an age to boot is down to the Nvidia Sata controller driver enabling NCQ on my hard drives. Even though my Hard drives are...

    Hi Topweasel, I updated the BIOS in the good old fashioned way of a floppy disc. Thanks anyway for the suggestion!

    Asus A8N SLOOOW bootup 1011 BIOS 6.65 nforce 4

    I've doubled checked the installed drivers and I haven't missed anything. I'll try a previous BIOS version and IDE drivers when I get home from work later. Thanks for the suggestion! In the meantime, does anyone have any other possible solutions?

    I got the 6.65 drivers off the ASUS site along with the BIOS as they recommend, so logic suggests they work together. The 6.66 version driver on the nvidia site have the same file versions. Thanks anyway!

    Asus A8N SLOOOW bootup 1011 BIOS 6.65 nforce 4

    Can someone please help me as I've ran out of ideas as to the cause. I've done a clean install of XP (32 bit) on an ASUS A8N (Non Deluxe) mainly to use the new 1011 BIOS as I'll be upgrading my CPU in the near future. I've also installed the 6.65 nforce 4 drivers off the ASUS site which they...

    A8N-SLI or A8N-SLI Deluxe ?

    I have the Non-Deluxe. 8 SATA ports and 2 LANs on the Deluxe is overkill IMHO. Who needs 8 hard disks (Plus any on the IDE ports) unless you're running a server? Save the extra few bucks to help pay for other components. Housecat "get the deluxe or regret it" Regret it? That's a...
