Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
CPL0 - Thanks for the tips, the SATA controller setting was set to IDE, I switched it to AHCI and everything booted just fine! I didn't realize you had to redo your BIOS settings after the upgrade and seeing Windows starting made me think something else was amiss. Once again thanks a million!!!
Was able to flash back to 0801 but still getting the same error. Any suggestions? The windows system recover is coming up and next I thought I would try to do a system restore to a previous point.
I downloaded the 0603 and put it on a USB drive. Start up the EZ Flash Bios utility rom and I can find the 0603 on the usb drive, but when I click to select or load it, I get an error message that the "image outdated" So is there a way to make it take that image?
In the past I hadn't been able to use the ASUS AI updater program, but it seemed to work this time around. I was on bios revision 0603 and updated to the 1101 version. Now my system won't boot. I see the windows logo start, a quick flash of a BSOD and reboot. I see in the BIOS there is an EZ...
I've been having some issues with the USB connectors on my system. I'm running Windows 7 64 Home Premium and when my Brother 1440 printer is connected, it will hand on boot up. There is a BIOS upgrade and I would like to do it but am running into some issues in that I can't find instructions...
Well height wise, the XFX 6870 fits fine...except for the PCIe power. There is an obstruction in the way and it looks like I'll have to do some case modification to make it work.
X Marks the spot for removal.
Thanks for the input. I went ahead with the XFX 6870. This version doesn't have heat pipes and newegg was running a special on it and managed to get it for $166 after a $20 MIR. They also have a special on the 6950 ($199 after MIR), but after reading a lot of reviews of people having heat...
Anyone able to fit an AMD 6850 GPU into an Ultra Microfly case?
I'm looking at the XFX HD-685X-ZDFC

The specs say it is 4.4" tall, which would be just enough, but would probably have to slot the PSU mounts to slide it up...
I went through Asus for my exchange. Did the standard exchange, sending in my board first before receiving the replacement board. It took a while through them though. It basically took an email to them each step of the way to get things moving along. Applied for the RMA, waiting and waiting...
I think I got to the bottom of it...while I was waiting on my Sandy Bridge MB to do my build, I let a buddy borrow the drive so he could play around with it. He tested it on his Mac and forgot to reformat it when he returned it. So it is still formated for a Mac...
I tried installing it onto the MB and it is seen in the BIOS, but it isn't recognized as a drive. Was trying a clean install using Win 7 64 Home Premium and a new Asus P8H67-M LE motherboard (newly built system). The system is fine, I swapped in my old Sata HDD and I can boot so the system is...
