Hi (again!) magicone, I have rev 2.3. I take it your STOP errors got worse? Like I said I have been too scared to try it agin on the 2nd mobo I got. Good Luck - let us know how things go please... Cheers, Slime

Hi Chicco, I am sorry to say that I do not have a solution - I did send the mobo back and got a new one. Since then I have NOT tried the SS2 in this one - too scared to try! I still don't understand how adding the SS2 can "blow the mobo or BIOS" but if it happened to you (twice) and me...

@JonGalt26 Good luck m8 - sounds like you are having weird BIOS clearing weirdness too. I did read your entire post but didn't have anything to offer other than what I have also read on here - Audigy probs etc. And that funny setting on SATA drives (not got any of these myself) that doesn't...

To magicone, Thanks for the reply - nice to see someone else with a SS2 card!! To be honest, it isn't mine! a m8 had it before and he never had any probs with it (not our mobo though!). I didn't get the STOP error you got - but maybe similar because the mouse went all jerky and then the...

You shouldn't need to connect all the lights - but a speaker is a must! I would also connect speakers to the lime green sound riser so that you can hear "system failed vga test" bios output for example by voice. If you are only using one graphics card, you don't need to plug power into the EZ...

Still no joy - it still only posts 1 in 30 times. Anyone any other ideas - still waiting for ASUS to contact me :( If I do get in BIOS, should I up memory voltage or CPU voltage? Having said that I bet it won't save and then won't post until I reset BIOS again. Thanks.

I have tried a single stick in the B slot (blue one - can't remember if that is B1 or B2). I seem to be getting somewhere as I can now more regularly get it to POST (still not too often mind you) and even saw the ASUS logo so I hit delete but it froze (still said hit del to enter setup)...

Well it seems that one in every 30 odd boots I get sound saying System Failed VGA test. One stick of memory, or two - but only after I reset BIOS like sal says and maybe not on next boot after doing that but on the 2nd try. I have only had this with the selector at single card - dual card or...

OK - the latest info - I tried to reset BIOS like sal said and this didn't work on first boot - but then I did take memory out before doing as sal suggested. I then put 1 stick back in (slue slot, B2 I think) and tried to boot and I got System Failed VGA test via speakers. This is the first I...

Yep - tried this - not at first I have to admit, but then I thought that if the BIOS had reset to defaults (I am still not sure if this has happened or not!), then the annoying voice might be trying to tell me something - so I did try this - nothing! I reckon the mobo has had it. We in the UK...

Hi Sal, Are you saying I should actually try and boot the pc with the jumper moved to clear cmos? I thought you had to remove battery and power lead, switch the jumper and leave for 10 secs (some people are saying more like 10 mins as 10 secs did nothing!) and then switch jumper back...

Hi, I can't get mine to POST - Here's what happened... This was the easiest system I have ever built and it worked great for about 1 week. I then swapped my Hauppauge WinTV-Nova (Satellite) PCI card (was working fine!) for a Technisat Skystar2 Satellite PCI card (in same slot). I...
