How could you possibly have gotten an Asus board with bugs? It must have been a fake.

I had an Asus mainboard with bugs - it was an A7A-266-E ... Ali chipset ... oh, hang on, that wasn't bugs, that was cuz I'd just crushed the die on my Duron 950 MHz and the CPU retailer blamed my m/b and told me to go see them, and the m/b retailer blamed my CPU and told me to go see them. :roll:

My Gigabyte m/b had a lot of bugs - GA-7NNXP, first it wouldn't boot at all, then it wouldn't boot unless I unplugged my GPU's extra power cable (and the GPU would freeze the system if I did that, so I had to unplug, switch on, quickly re-plug!!!), then when I finally got DDR400 and a FSB400 CPU it got happy, like it just didn't like having the lower spec CPU and RAM even though it's not supposed to be a prob.

hmmmm, not much useful info for you there, but I'm on a posting spree - if your new m/b doesn't work on day one, send it back - if money isn't a problem, you'll be alright, money talks and folks want yours, so they'll help you

Reply to juvealert

been having problems since i bought it, like windows not booting because i had ,,no hard disk 8O ,or no optic unit(dvd-rom),or strange procesor frequencies(my 3500+ was doin 1800 mhz) and after a bit of googling i found a lot of asus buyers with similar problems.

the point is i DONT want headaches for those prices, but that mb lreally looks nice

Reply to leo_vader

well next time return it back to asus if it was still under warrenty !!!

before buying ur A8N32-SLI! Update the bios of ur A8N-SLI ? (worth giving a try by visiting the asus wbsite (well i'm still a beginer i might be incorrect :S ) )

well, then, try to find some customer reviews on google before buying ur A8N32-SLI . goodluck about it!!
