Messy, I just wanted to let you know I got my A8N-SLI Premium back and experienced the same lock-up problems even after I re-installed Win XP Pro along with the very latest RAID and chipset drivers but somehow after some playing around I've seemed to have stopped the lock-ups, not really sure...
I know the San Diego core is one of their newer cores but it's not that new, I can't imagine Asus not making a BIOS that fully supports it. Since the 3700+ & the 4000+ San Diego's are the same except for the multiplier it confuses me on what exactly they are doing.
I too have seen this mentioned about the Premium, have you heard anything about it's brother the 4000+ San Diego? I would imagine that if the 3700+ isn't 100% compatible with the A8N-SLI Deluxe or Premium for that matter then the 4000+ wouldn't be either. With the San Diego's being so popular...
Messy which version are the NVIDIA chipset drivers on the Asus CD? Also are you running a RAID 0? It didn't appear that you are going by what you wrote. The place I bought the board and CPU from has it now and are testing to see if it's a board problem, we'll see. ;)
Hi there!
It's funny cause I have a lot of the exact same parts as you except a OCZ SLI 600w PS, Lian Li case & Corsair TwinXP1024-3200XL (Programmable LED Display) but I too have been having these odd freeze-ups that can come out of it within so many seconds and at other times pretty much...
