Antec PSU and Asus boards

[mickeddie]

I had this issue and Asus confirmed it and told me to contact Antec. I called Antec and the TSR knows nothing about it and said it is not a known issue.

I finally got my system up and running although I have those yellow "!' in my device manager, but I figure it is not harmful so I'm leaving it as is.

Problem : Major incompatibility issue with Antec NeoHE Power Supply Units.

Symptoms (not exclusive):
Multiple (20 or more) un-installable Texas Instrument OCHI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controllers devices in Devices Manager;
Windows XP SP1/SP2/whatever hangs on install at exactly 34 minutes remaining;
User only able to install Windows XP after multiple (20+) tries;
Windows freezes on bootup or takes several minutes to boot up to desktop.

Solution : Use another brand of PSU! The incompatibility is more likely when using ASUS powersupplies (not only P5W DH). Antec pretends a BIOS update fixes this (no bios up to 1101 on P5W DH works). They also offer to fix the PSU via RMA (yet to be tested).

Props to Carcamel for the solution! You da man!

I had thought Antec resolved the issue back in February/March of this year with a revised NeoHE PSU.
