FWIW, I'm running the same mobo., and I had probs. with the SATA drives
on the first one (leading to eventual corruption of the file system).
Also on that board it didn't recoginze boards plugged into the PCI slots.
The replacement board was better, but the fan headers didn't work, so it
went back. The 3rd board, I'm running now, and everything has worked
fine, except every three/four days the system locks up, a few seconds later
the screen goes blank, and I have to hit the power switch and reboot.
Sometimes
it'll go as long as week. I'm running an XP/3000+ that ran Win2K flawlessly
on an Epxx board before moving it to this board. Memory is high end Corsair
(512Mb).
I had tried a working XP/2400+ with slower memory and still encountered the
occasional failure, so it seems to be board or software related. I mention
this
simply becuase I was surprised, because Asus generally has a good rep. Just
fyi, the PSU is new and high end, the OS is WinXP and the BIOS and all
drivers
have been updated. I'm going to replace this board one of these days and go
with another manufacturer (We had another Asus mobo at work arrive DOA
[wouldn't
power up]. Maybe we just had a bad run of luck, but must say the ABIT's,
MISI's,
and Epox's that we've been running have been working fine.
