Go to device manager, double click on each usb controller one at a time and select roll back driver, then reboot computer. They should work now.

The "overclocking failed" message is a standard output message from the bios when it has a problem with hardware. Even if the bios is set to default and settings are set to auto, the bios tries to determine the correct settings and set them before boot up. Asus boards have that message. Unsure...

First of all, go with what you are comfortable with in a brand. Abit, Gigabyte and Asus are all good tier one manufactures. Look at the features you need. Look at manufacture warranty. ( We have never had rma issues with any of there manufactures). Do not pay attention to reviews from web sites...

This is really funny. You people really crack me up. To the main poster - yes you need an OS cd. A computer will not work without an OS. Just boot to the OS Cd and follow the instructions.

OCZ memory is crap. We stop selling it because there were to many incompatibillity problems. We have never had a problem with this asus motherboard. The memory was probably your main problem. By the way, if you want stability, stick with 1.8v / 1.9v memory. The couple of fps you get on...

Have you checked out the cpu charts on toms hardware site? They don't have the E4300 in there for some reason, and only two games to compare, but it may be of some help to you. On another note, if your looking for a large performance jump in gaming, going from a AMD 64 3500 2.2 Ghz to a AMD X2...

Well this is kind of why I made the statement about new information in my last reply. If you got a beep code pointing at the power supply, then the power supply has in issue, and could be why the memory would not work correctly, because of improper voltage going to the components, all kinds of...

Ah yes, nothing like new information. I would keep the OCZ 600W PSU. Its aways better to have more than what you need in power, and you'll be more prepared for future upgrades. Just curious, but did you already send the old motherboard and memory back yet? If not, you could test the new memory...

Madmurph, I will agree to some of what you said and the QVL list is a good starting point. But I was just trying to point out that the QVL list are limited to choices of what they say will work in there motherboard, and the manufactures don't take out the time to test every dimm...

Yes, I think that power supply would be fine. About the memory. Did you check the spec's on the memory and try setting the spec's up the same in your bios? If it does'nt work you can always reset the bios back to its defaults. Reply to other people: Yes dimm 1 and 3 or dimm 2 and 4 should be...

Under MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T) is where you go to adust memory voltage and timings in the bios. There are two areas there. One is DDR Overvoltage Control, and System Memory Multiplier (SPD). This is in section 2-9 page 49 of your motherboard manual. But before you mess with it you need to...

That motherboard by default supports 1.8v ddr2 memory as with most ddr2 motherboards. When adding more than one stick, ajustments may have to be made in the bios according to your memory specifications if your memory is not the standard 1.8v. There are other people here in this forum that are...

Go with Fedex. We have not had any damaged PC's when shipped through them. UPS has damaged about 10% of our shipments of PC's, and when they ship it back for repair estimates they don't secure anything so you get even a more damaged PC back. Plus you wait at least a month to get a check sent...

I would agree with Haywood. A clean install is the best way to go. You will get the best preformance with a clean system and clean registry. To dispute about the reinstall of windows. I guess I am also lucky and gifted because I have done many reinstalls of windows xp over itself because of...

Generally motherboards do not come with the latest bios revision. But the revision version they come with would depend on when that batch of boards were bought from the manufacture. The latest batch would have a newer bios revision to address issues and compatibillities. On another note. There...
