Hi all (meh 1st post here
I have a few issues at the moment - let me say when this combo works - it rocks!!! I have built the system using the processor, DCRW, DVD, Speakers, Monitor, from my old case - but bought super nice Lianli aliminium case, the mobo memory and Radeon new.
But here's whats left to solve...
Motherboard (Asus A7N8X Deluxe) detects my XP2000+ as a 1800+ The fsb is set to 133 and an 11.5 multiplier. Seems very strange as my previous board detected it fine (Abit KG7).
I have various hanging issues - usually in CFS3 when I get an explosion but really can happen at any time. In other games its not so common but still happens at strange and usually pinpointable times (e.g. When setting graphics options in Serious Sam) It's not heat as the mobo has 4 fans in the case doing the air extraction and a GlobalWin Super Quiet Copper H/S Fan - temps read 35 for Mobo and 30-40 for the CPU depending on stress
Also my CD's are causing Explorer to hang. My CDRW suddenly has trouble reading cd's it has burnt (read them fine in last system). I switched DA off in its properties but problem remains :/
Last and prolly least serious - just cant get my CL 5.1 Speakers to come out right - they sound fine but when tested with the onboard Nvidida sound card the front and rear come out of all speakers regardless of how I wire things to the board.
Well that should keep someone busy - I appreciate theres a lot of new stuff in this system but thats kind of the point of spending so much money on it all
Specs
WinXP Pro SP1
Athlon 2000+
Asus A7N8X with latest unified drivers
Gigabyte Radeon 9700 pro (2.4 Cat's)
On board sound
On board NIC's (X2 )
Plextor 40x12x40 CDRW
Phillips 16 x DVD
120GB IBM Deskstar
512MB 333mhz DDR Ram
Speedtouch DSL modem
Some game seem perfect but I am having particular trouble with CFS 3, SS, and UT2K3 I cant even install!
Thanks in advance for your help
