Hello, I've a problem with booting from my new Hitachi s-ata harddrive when my other two WD ata drives are connected. Without the WD's it boots from the s-ata drive without a problem. With the WD's connected it always try to boot from the WD's. I tried to fix that with a different boot order, but nothing seems to work. Please help.

Oops, I forgot to mention that I have the a7n8x-e deluxe.

I am not sure but did u try to set the first boot option to SCSI ?
Maybe look at the s-ata threads here :approve:

Tanx for the help, I solved the problem. Scsi was already first in my boot order. Only by removing the OS from the WD ata drive it would boot from my new sata drive.

Ethernet Driver problems

Hi, just installed XP Pro on a friends computer, we didn't format or anything, and we have lost a bunch of drivers. The problem is we don't have the motherboard disks with us, and upon trying to use the ASUS web page my friend had to commit suicide (not really). I downloaded video card drivers and sound drivers, but the Ethernet driver and the "SM BUS Controller" driver are still unfound.

Can some one please direct me to a place where these drivers can be downloaded.

Thanks muchly!

Model: A7N8X-X Motherboard.
(onboard ethernet).

Did you even bother reading the first page ? The link to the latest version of the drivers hasn't been updated but you would've found where to look.

A7N8X-X with AGP or PCI express

I am thinking to buy a new videocard and I was wondering whether a PCI express would work just as well as any AGP card with this mobo.

Thx a lot.

AGP only (read the first page).

A7N8X Deluxe and USB Flash Drive Issues

I have the A7N8X Deluxe board and a SanDisk Cruzer Mini (512MB). I have the board in a Thermaltake XaserV WinGo Series chassis with a Thermaltake Silent PurePower Standard 560W PSU. My problem is that I can not use my flash drive in USB ports 5 or 6 which are on top of this case. I can use it in USB ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 which are in back on the mobo. When plugged into the top (5 or 6) ports the light on the drive just flashes dimly. However, the ports work fine with my camera plugged into them. I have installed the latest drivers from Asus's site with no luck, obviously. The links in this article for drivers are no longer working, and I don't think it's a driver issue since it does work with my camera. Also, I have a hard time believing that it's a power issue with a 560W PSU. I'm using XP with SP2 so that's not it. I'm stumped , any suggestions.

asus A7N8X-E dlx powers on+off after new cpu install Athlon XP 3200l

I don't get it... I did everything exactly correctly to install this new Barton Athlon XP 3200 into my ASUS A7N8X-E deluxe. Everything in the thing is brand new. After I finally got the old heatsink off and exposed the processor, I installed the new 3200 right out of the package. Put everything back in - power cables and all - and it boots with a green light, the fans flick on for a second or two, and then everything goes off. The yellow light goes off while the green one stays on. Tried clearing cmos via the jumper and battery. Asus tells me an RMA... WTF HAPPENED! I got a new fan with it as well. Could it be the placement of thermal grease? Or what? I got the cpu from pcprogress FYI. The mobo is less than 6 months old, the video card less than 4 months, ram - less than 6 months, one hd is new and one is a couple years old.... They are freshly formatted and the system has been recently formatted and installed with xp. WTF happened..... ASUS says the mobo could've fried but how could it possibly fry? I was grounded via touching the inside metal framing of the comp the whole time and extremely careful with all parts.

USB 2.0 problem

I'm having problems getting my PC to recognise USB2.0
I've read a few articles, including the first page of this thread, where people say this is a known problem.
On the first page of this thread there are links (now dead) to a USB patch for this mobo.

Does anyone know where I can get these now? I've tried the ASUS site and nVidia but no luck.
I've downloaded the newest nVidia unified drivers and that hasn't helped with my USB problem either.

Any form of help would be very appreciated.

ASUS A7N8X Deluxe RAM Question

I have a an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe

I am trying to buy a 1 gig ram card for it and am not sure if the motherboard supports 128x64 configuration.

this is my motherboard specs
- 3 x 184-pin DIMM Sockets support max. 3GB PC3200/PC2700/PC2100/PC1600 non-ECC DDR SDRAM memory
- Dual Channel Memory Architecture


these are the specs for the ram im looking at.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
184 PIN Memory

SATA and ATA 133

My ATA 133 recently had a corrupt system file I was able to repair... but the Win XP O/S never worked quite right after this. So I purchased a new SATA drive which I have set up and it is working fine. Today I attempted to run the old ATA 133 drive as a slave, the mobo recoginizes it as a slave drive but is still attempting to boot from the ATA drive rather than the SATA drive. Any idea's?

I thought about unplugging the SATA drive and deleting the C:\ Windows folder but the mainboard will still probably attempt to boot the ATA ?

TIA.

Problem with Sound concerning F.E.A.R.

Hello and Merry Christmas

I also have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mobo for about 4years now and had no problem till today. The cause of the problem is a game, F.E.A.R.! I face a problem about the sound. The game aks for a soundcard that supports EAX 2.0 and above. I do not have an addittional soundcard i always used the chipset of the mobo and had no problems. The problem is that if i don't disable the sound from the game's configuration utility,from Start Menu, the game doesn't starts at all. If i do that, the game starts but there is no sound and i can't enable/disable EAX or other sound options from the game's menu. I downloaded the newest nForce drivers and also download and copy to system folder the A3D.dll but no change at all. My question is: Does my mobo supports EAX 2.0 as the game asks (minimum requirments)???? and if so, what went wrong???
I would appreciate if someone could answer to me.
