I was building a system for a friend, and we decided on the asus m2n-e as the system board.
BAD CHOICE!
I have had problems with it from day 1. First the ram was incompatible. Infact, every stick of ram in the computer shop was incompatible. I had to reflash to the latest bios and then try certain sticks. I finally found one that worked. Ontop of all this, other users have had problems with being unable to run their ram at 1.8V and at rated speeds.
Now i'm having another problem. Windows is unstable if a webcam is plugged in at bootup. It restarts a few seconds after logging in. I've tried everything short of experimental bios versions. (I don't want to go back to the ram problem.) I can leave the webcam unplugged during log on, then plug it in after everything and it works ok. Other users have had the same problem with a logitech pro5000. Mine was a logitech fusion.
Now my backup software, Acronis trueimage workstation v9.1 won't restore the backup image. It goes to a black screen and the keyboard freezes after restarting.
I'm at my wit's end. I don't know what to do inorder to fix my problems. I'm never going Asus again. I even paid more for this board just because it was ASUS. I recently bought an D975XBX instead of the P5W DH. There was absolutely no support for this from ASUS and there's been nothing but headaches from the first second I assembled this system. Bios updates have been slow and far apart.
