I recently purchased the I7 (4ghz) bundle with the mighty fenrik cooler and went to fit it in my existing case Coolermaster ATCS-200 and things did not go to well. Had to fit it when the mobo tray was in place as it was too large and then thought hmmm problem time...
When the cooler is in...
Tried my PS2 and it worked fine and changed every option I could, switched between digital/coax and no joy. Looks like the issue was in my understanding of things.
I expected the mobo to do dolby digital decoding but it looks like it doesnt. According to...
Yep tried the latest drivers, red light comes out and soundcard is definately working as it outputs stereo in test that comes with the drivers. All I did was install drivers, change output to 6CH Speaker and try a test.
I hope I am missing something obvious? The strange thing is that the...
Tried both with 0 success. I can't think that I have missed any particular configuration it just does'nt seem to work. With the logitech Z-5500 speakers I have it just reports as stereo 96/24 :(
Just out of interest anyone had any issues getting digital out working? The best I can do is stereo out and tried changing every single option.
Why isnt it simple like my current ABIT motherboard :(
Re-installed XP and did a windows update straight away, everything fine. Answers on a postcard please. . .
This is almost like a game, only its a very expensive one :)
Although it wasnt in bios it wasnt booting either but after I decided to ignore windows update (which is unfortunate) the system is working fine. Does 3dmark 2001 (27851) at stock (any good?) and just in process of downloading the massiv 3dmark 2005.
Anyone else had an issue with the G5 not working correctly under XP? I have installed the drivers and under device manager it has detected additioanl hardware plugged in but mouse doesnt light up and neither does the laser underneath? Duff mouse perhaps?
Not detected in BIOS at all unfortunately. I was using a WD secure cable but have switched back over to using the cables supplied with MOBO to see if there is a difference.
As a test have replaced the SATA HDD with an old IDE one, Memory with old PC3700 stuff to see if I can get an XP...
Anyone else had any problems with the Hard Disk sometimes not being detected or am I the only one that is this 'lucky' with the motherboard?
Just as an FYI I have a revision 1.03G motherboard for the people with little or no issues what revision are you on?
No updates like that it seems that doing lots of updates break it but individual updates are fine. Will spend more time on it tonight but its getting to that stage of ******* me off so much at not working :(
I could probably install games and stuff on this and it would work fine but the fact...
I am finding that if I try to do a mass windows update it goes into constantly rebooting but one at a time its fine. sigh this is frustrating (everything at auto settings too).
XP seems stable its just the mass windows update anyone any ideas or where to start. I did the steps exactly as...
ok an update on where I am. I was getting into an endless reboot cycle so I re-installed XP, ghosted partition, installed one driver checked it was stable. Then repeated and have tracked it down. . .
The first windows update i do (windows installer 3.1 and some other stuff) that pulls down...

Sorry by changing BIOS stuff i mean making sure boot order was fine :) Not tried a single overclock type change yet as stablity first then try to nudge things up.
Yeh i read the documentation (shock) and did the same process I have done over the years yet this is refusing to play. Its the...
Cheers for that im hoping I can get it even stable for more than a few minute before i need to ritually burn it out my back garden. In reading through this thread it seems as though a few people can quote links to forum articles off their heads by now ;)
It seems this motherboard was sent...

Well after getting my hands slapped for hi-jacking a thread (and rightly so) thought it best to post another thread. Have checked to see the current posts and nothing really answers the question I want.
Whats the best monitor to get for gaming for under £500 (inc vat) since this covers off...
