    No sound in Vista/WMP11

    Just an update...there does appear to be sound but it is so soft I can only hear it in a silent room even though every control I have is set to max. Does anyone know of a secret volume control in Vista?

    ASUS A8N SLI Beep Code

    I am getting a long beep code and maybe two short beeps at the end of it. The short ones are really short so I am not sure if they are real or not. I've read elsewhere that one long and two short means either the video card or the port is bad. I replaced the video card with a new one but am...

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    Just so everyone knows...the Zalman is not the only passive heatsink that works on this board. I put a CoolerMaster Northbridge Chipset Cooler PAC-P01 on mine. Then I took the new fan ASUS sent me, removed the cover and heatsink, then glued the fan to the top of the CM heatsink. So far, it...

    Email scanner won't connect with server

    No. I am using the NVidia firewall that came with the motherboad. Another detail: The popup says - AVG E-mail Scanner AutoPOP3:Connecting to ens1.eatel.net. My mail server is at mail.eatel.net. Is this the problem?

    Email scanner won't connect with server

    Thanks for your reply but I am not sure about it. If there is a resident email scanner in Outlook, how do I turn it off so that I dont get conflicts with the AVG scanner? If my question is dumb please explain why. Thanks again...

    Email scanner won't connect with server

    I have used the AVG Free virus scanning software by Grisoft for a few months now with no problems. A couple of weeks ago, Outlook started hanging up when I opened it. A popup box labelled AVG Email Scanner opens over the sys tray. In the box it says connecting to the ip of my email service...

    Fans slowing down on MB

    It does have a fan controller in the bios but I have always left it off. I read in one of these forums that the controller ran the fan too fast so it stays off.

    Fans slowing down on MB

    :confused: I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe mother board. The fan on the chipset recently started having difficulty starting up. Once it does start up it runs at about 3 - 4K RPM, every once in a while it slows and spikes downward to <1000 RPM. The voltages coming from the PSU appear to be...

    A8N- SLI slow boot?

    On another forum, someone told me to set my hard drive to Single instead of Master. It worked like a charm. If I hadn't been a noob maybe I would have known but...

    ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

    Devices are detected correctly in the bios... I only have one hard drive...WD Caviar 120 7200rpm and one Artec DVD/CD both are IDE. The hard drive is set to primary master and the DVD/CD is secondary master ( I think that is what you mean by jumpering...if not correct me please.) Thanks,

    A8N- SLI slow boot?

    To disable the RAID controller: Go into the bios...follow these menu trees -Advanced -On board device config - Silicon SATA controller - set to [Disabled] This only made it skip one step in the boot process. Mine still takes over 1.5 minutes to reach the WinXP boot. Only 10 sec...

    A8N- SLI slow boot?

    Yes, it does detect the hard drive and dvd/cd. The hard drive is a WD Caviar 120GB and the dvd/cd is an Artec 16x/52x. Everything is new. It has always been slow at this point in the boot process. The computer appears to run fine otherwise. Well, there is the problem that it won't come...

    ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

    When coming up from a hard boot or restart my computer sits at the equipment detection screen for 1+ minute. It says it is detecting IDE devices. Once it does this, it moves on to another screen for about 20 - 30 seconds. Then WinXP boots quickly. I don't know how to get it to boot faster -...

    A8N- SLI slow boot?

    My comp with the A8N-SLI Dlx also boots slow. I followed the advice above about disabling the RAID controller. It did speed it up by skipping that screen but I still sit at the first screen that shows the equipment specs. It says it is detecting IDE devices for 1+ minute before moving on...

    Windows XP install...HUGE problems!

    I had the same problem with a new build a few weeks ago. Try disabling everything in the bios that you don't need to run the computer...sound, lan, Cool 'n Quiet, etc. When I did this Win XP loaded perfectly. Turned each thing back on one at a time. Computer has run for 3 weeks now with no...
