I have the Sabertooth mobo. Don't know how it compares but it's a stable board, Running with a 965 BE, Installed 16GB Gskil DDR3 1866 memory and it runs at 1600mhz., with no tweaking at all. Did have a problem booting with USB keyboard so I'm using a ps2 keyboard now with a Logitech USB mouse...
Hi Raja
Of course your correct. I did notice those messages finally went away when using F8 to boot into Vista. Don't know why? From time to time Windows seems to fix itself.
Bottom line is all is well! Do nothing Win 7, Use F8 Vista,
Thanks again

My father was a world war 2 vet,worked in a foundry. He won $4000.00 in the N***** pool run by the mob back then. He bought a nice house. The guy next door owned a BIG plating factory. He told my dad he made 4 times what his average employee made, felt he was doing great. I was 5 when we moved...

I got both Win 7-64 and WinXP-64 installed. I must have screwed up the boot in bios.
If I do nothing and let it go thru the boot process I boot into Win 7, no problem.
If I use the F8 option I can go into Win Vista, no problem.
If I use the F8 option to boot into Win 7 I get a massage...

The keyboard is Logitech EX100. No ver # I picked up because the HP kbd died, $19.00 @walley world even came with two speakers, small. I use an old Logitech mouse, it uses a USB stick, works anywhere anytime. Use it when building machines, plug in the stick ,it works. I went around the...

I reformatted the Vista drive.NTFS. I then tried to reinstall Vista, get a message "this drive is incompatible EFI must be GTE or GTP , some thing like that. Should have written it down!
Tried both 74GB raptors, same message. Using WD utility wrote Zeros patterns to the Vista drive...
Raja. I will reformat the Vista drive and reinstall it. I noticed in the EUFI advanced boot priority the Vista drive is not seen as are the two drives without OS's on them. Perhaps the bios don't list it because it doesn't see an MBR/BCD. The bios only see's the Win 7 and CD-Rom drives. I...

Sorry about the confusion, confuses me too with respect to what the screen say's between exiting EUFI and OS boot. I thought by informing you what the messaging was, it might help.
I tried the USB keyboard again. The USB keyboard does not work in EUFI. For whatever reason the USB...

I made an error in reporting to you.
When I boot the machine and hit delete into EUFI the mouse AND keyboard functions OK. After exiting the screen comes up with mouse...0 keyboard 1. USB...0., However the logitech USB mouse works fine after the OS comes up. Seems like the USB drivers...
I had a machine repair that acted just like yours. The case back plane had a slight bow in it. It forced the fingers on card to be pushed back ever so slightly so they didn't make contact. I noticed the card was hard to seat, you had to really force it down, no good! I just gave the back plane a...

I disabled the logo screen on the Sabertooth.
When I boot up I see the following:
Found Mouse...0, Keyboard...0.
It then lists all 4 HD's properly.
Yet the F8 option cursor works but...it doesn't seem to link up with the boot priority in BIOS.
Once booted the board is stable as a...
I read about a new technique called wafer bonding. Also think I read where the Bulldozer is an 11 layer CPU. They claim by using different wafers, they spoke of 3, it could cut down on the number of defects? The article made sense, forgot where I read it tho. Wonder if GF is looking at it?
How many of you guy;s remember the first Asus mobo for AMD cpu;s. It came in a white box, no markings whatsoever. They were told by somebody that they should not make motherboards for AMD CPU;s. An Asus rep told me that. I asked who somebody was, I'd rather not say...said he! In some way's they...
I tried to get the Sabertooth manual from Asus site (tired old eyes) but the download section seems to be down on the Sabertooth page. Maybe they are updating the files?
Loaded 64 bit Vista, no problems. Then loaded 7-64 and are having a hard time booting back and forth. Using F8 to boot into...
