Ok im new to forums and am not a computer wiz, but i did just built my first computer
Intel P-4 2.4c 800fsb Was going to get the 3.0, but thought I'd wait for the prescott no point wasting the $
Samsung 512mb DDR 400 PC-3200 X2
Seagate S-ata 80.0gb 7,200 rpm drives w/8mb Cache X2 Was going to raid, but wont work?
MS Windows XP Pro
Radeon 9700 Pro
LG 52x24x52 cd-rw
Creative sound blaster Audigy Platinum
And of course the case, psu, dvd player, ect..... So far so good!!! I had the one beep problem after i finished her up, and read in the manual that it was a Memory refresh timer error, So i thought i had memory problems, I called my dealer up and he asked if it was a constent beep, I said no, that i could get into windows right after. He said that you always get that on start up(just saying that everthing is ok), if the beep kept going on, then you have a problem! So my question is i want this raid to work, but after reading all the post, it looks like i have to update my Bios! Well This is one thing that has me ticked off about this board! it states in the manual that there is no need to use a DOS-based utility, ok so far all the updates you need dos? Now im confused I have windows xp pro, how do i do this in Dos, I dont have it! Do i need to get it, and install it, is AFUDOS.exe a dos program, cause the instruction for installing the BIOS say DO NOT USE AFUDOS.exe or ASUS EZ FLASH use a dos utility?????????
Also whats with Asus, i cant get into there forums? I cant down load from some of there sites ie: germany, global, ect.... and when i do get one,and i unzip it i get errors???? like from 3com, and promise etc... the only way i got the net to work is to just put the driver in and turn off the onboard lan control, and enable the onboard LAN, no software that came with it! The board is fast and is running great, but Asus is starting to make me think twice about them, my last board was a Msi, and i had no problems from there site, i got what i wanted , easy bios updates, and installs! I was also reading to get the promise down load i should have bios 1.007 or 8, but i cant cause they make it so confussing! Can someone help me out here! My pat technology is working, but i dont even notice it, and i have my memory set to 400mhz in the bios, everthing working so far, i have not oc it yet, well the pat i guess, but thats nothing! Also has anyone noticed that the temp is diff in the pc probe and the BIos temps? like 10 off? Whats with that, There's many more questions, i could go on about but those are my big ones!
