i have yet to find anything, but it may be conflicting mobo drivers -- i'm still running the same windows install as the last system i had, and that could be the issue. i'll post when i reformat, which may not be for a few weeks.

annnnnd the asus EZ flash thats onboard keeps saying each .bin file i download from asus for the update "doesnt contain boot info", something like that. this=huge PITA

Since the day I got my Asus M3N78-pro motherboard, the USB ports have all been flaky. It seems that items with batteries or needing alot of power (ipod, wd passport) don't work -- whenever they're plugged in, it constantly connects/disconnects the devices over and over. I've tried several ipods...

Sooooo, I take it I can't use the old 7600GT my brother gave me (free :D) with my 7800GT in SLI? Seeing as they are different models...

well, i reinstalled nforce drivers, but not the firewall. dont need it anyway. $400+ business firewall does the job... but, after i reinstalled them, the computer is working fine... ive manually restarted, booted from cold, and everything, 20 times, and it seems to work fine! for some reason, i...

Already using a sonicwall hardware firewall. when i get back tonight, ill do just that. thanks for the input.

dont know. when i get back from an internship application, in a few hours, ill find out.

24 hours ago, formatted my pc and reinstalled windows xp pro, for the 100th time. im a performance hog. I built my system 5 months ago. everything has worked splendidly. This time, now that all my stuff is re-installed and working, my computer restarts itself every time i log in. in safe mode...
