    P8Z77-V Deluxe CPU Error when attempting to power off or shut down

    I'm experiencing the same symptoms after updating the bios to 1504. I found this thread where someone experienced the same thing: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?18075-Maximus-V-Gene-Power-Down-issue-Q-code-03&p=143321#post143321 At one point I saw Q-Code 03, but now I don't see it...

    Memory Test on Boot displays no count

    I just rebooted my desktop and it posted. When the memory test appeared, it did not count up to anything. In fact, it didn't display any characters. I reseated the memory, same symptoms. I switched the spots of each memory stick (moved the stick in channel 1 to channel 3 and the one in...

    Sata Hard Drive - Motherboard Issue

    I looked up some info about NCQ and TCQ, but most websites were not real clear as to what options in the device manager enable it and disable it. One site did explain that if you uninstalled the nVidia drivers for the hard drives, altogether, it fixes the problem. You lose out on the...

    Trying to OC 3500+ 90nm A8N-Sli DX...have issues.

    This statement helps a lot: "When you "up" things (mem,fsb,htt) and you crash or are unstable bump up your voltages. This will increase stability at the cost of HEAT!" Also, when you are referring to this: "Also make sure your RAM can handle 2.7/2.8 etc" Are you referring to the...

    Trying to OC 3500+ 90nm A8N-Sli DX...have issues.

    Sorry, I got a little defensive too. I appreciate the help. I posted that while at work, so I didn't do quite all the homework I could have. I am using a "Gigabyte 3D rocket cooler" which I showed in my specs...definitely not stock cooler, meant for OC. :) I will read that article and post...

    Trying to OC 3500+ 90nm A8N-Sli DX...have issues.

    There's about 50 posts I can find in a matter of two minutes where people are doing the same thing as I am...I suppose they all need to do their reading too? Sometimes the terms used by people / manufactuers / websites are inconsistent, so I thought I'd try and run some things by a forum.

    The threat of godless ideologies

    First, we need to establish that whether you are a Christian or not, PEOPLE are just screwed up in general. Christians are people too, and Christianity has made mistakes. Athiests are people too and athiesm has made mistakes. Religious fanaticism and Godless fanaticism is fueled by people who...

    How to tell it's a Winchester A64 just by looking at the retail box?

    JBDan: Yes that helps. The retail box exposes the heat spreader visually (still behind plastic) and sure enough mine has the BI just as the screenshot you showed me. So if you're right, then mine is 90nm. This helps a lot. Thanks!

    How to tell it's a Winchester A64 just by looking at the retail box?

    That doesn't make sense to me BW86: You can have a Newcastle core that is socket 939 and 130nm, 3500+. Did AMD just decide to put the text "Socket 939" on the top left corner for only the Winchester cores? I purchased a winchester retail 3500+ 90nm, and nowhere on the box does it say...
