    No POST w/ new mobo

    I remember having this same problem with this mobo. I ended up figuring out that I had my RAM in the wrong slot, this due to ASUS's excellent English translation:disgust: If you have 2 sticks in, just try one in the other slots till you get a beep. Even after this problem, I ended up...

    The Hanging Computer

    When I am away from my computer long enough for my monitor to shut off (20 minutes), I come back and move my mouse, only to realize that my computer has stopped responding. It even did this a couple days ago when I didn't have a screensaver up; it just froze, causing me to restart. I had just...

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum not booting to XP

    Well, it finally worked. Turned out I needed to install Windows via the floppy drive (6 floppy disks), then it went into the CD install(I did a clean install). The thing that makes me wonder is that Microsoft says at some point in the future you can't use floppies, but rather the PXE network...

    Well, put it in my computer downstairs, and all is well with it. So, at least I know it's not fried. I guess I can now deduct its something with the BIOS possibly?

    After putting my system together and getting Windows all nicey-nice, I decided to once again install my Philips 5.1 Sonic Edge soundcard because my Realtek '97 chomps. So, after shutting off my comp, I installed the card, and booted to a black screen with no POST. I tried other PCI slots, but...

    nForce3 Software Not Detected

    One thing for sure is that my Realtek '97 audio does not properly play sound through my rear speakers for any application other than the speaker test, Winamp and Counter-Strike specifically. This is why I don't want to use the '97 driver. Anyone ever have that problem?

    I got this bundle, had the same exact problems, and ended up calling Tigerdirect. Turns out this MOBO and CPU deal is faulty, in that these 2 parts are not compatible. Can you believe this??? So, I get a full refund and an extra $7.00. You will also note they took the bundle off the site. Pretty...
