I'm hoping someone has encountered this problem and can help me.
I am building a system using the following:
Asus K8N-DL
AMD Opteron 265
2GB Corsair XMS PC3200 Memory
FireGL v5000 Video Card
Western Digital 80GB Sata2 HD
Western Digital 160GB Sata2 HD
Thermaltake Toughpower 650W Power Supply
Floppy Drive (yes, they still exist)
Sony CDRW Drive
Right now, I get different results depending on the position of the moon and the alignment of the planets, that's the only thing I am sure of. When the system boots, sometimes I can get the system to show the POST information. Other times I can hit delete and the Asus screen says entering setup. The problem is that is AS FAR as the system will go. I've tried booting the system with the floppy as the only device connected. I've tried 5 different keyboards, 2 other X1600 video cards that work fine in other systems, well, you get the picture.
Has anyone had this problem with this motherboard? I've read so many reviews of people who love this motherboard but now that I have RMA'd this thing 3 times, I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
