I just built this computer and for some reason everything is really, really slow! Windows XP Pro took 8 hours to install, to format one 200gb SATA II drive, doing a full format under NTFS took just about 9 hours. Which is really, really bad and I can't work out why it is acting this way. Also when doing all the setup in the Windows installer it was really sluggish and lagged. I want to try update the BIOS but on the ASUS website it says that you should
Another problem is sometimes the monitor doesn't boot/turn on. It just stays in stand by mode. Maybe I should of gone with my gut feeling and not bought a Leadtek card! This card is really, really loud! Like you can't work with how loud it is. If normal fans run at about 20DBa (I have 4 fans and 1 heatsink in the case) then this is like 100DBa and just isn't exceptable!
I have no idea what it was! This is my system
