    ASUS P8P67 Pro/2600k - Can't boot an o/s

    Update: Installed the replacement 2600k and fixed all my issues. Seems I must have had a dud, add in the fact that there's a recall on my board and this new PC will end up stuffing me around a bit. Having said that, this new build is lightning fast! These 2600k chips are a great bit of gear ;)

    ASUS P8P67 Pro/2600k - Can't boot an o/s

    Thanks heaps for the update mac87, and to everyone else who've offered help and idea's in this thread :D! I pulled apart my old PC last night to get the PSU out and the GPU (PSU won't power the new GPU). This didn't change a thing. Unplugged everything from the board, all the front ports for...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro/2600k - Can't boot an o/s

    It's always trying to boot from the correct drive. Windows will always start to boot but then the PC will crash. Or if I boot from CD, same thing, it will start to boot than BSOD for windows, kernel panic for linux :( I should have updated that I did plug the other 4 pin connector in and it...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro/2600k - Can't boot an o/s

    I just replaced the motherboard, so it has the stock BIOS, I think like 0408 or something. I had the same issues on the previous board though, and I had used 1053 and 1204 with the exact same result. I just tried to load up the windows xp cd but it gave a blue screen of death as well after...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro/2600k - Can't boot an o/s

    I've tried manually setting RAM to the 1600 speeds, to 1333 speeds, and lower, doesn't seem to make a difference. But thanks for your help! Wow! It's great to know that I'm not alone here (well, it's not good for you or for me actually :(). I don't have access to another CPU. Could you please...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro/2600k - Can't boot an o/s

    The SSD has windows 7 installed and was working fine. I could use an external HDD via SATA, but I'd have to install windows on it first. I can't load the windows 7 cd, because I get a BSOD. I can't install linux onto it because the live cd kernel panics. So I can't really test it this way...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    Had a lot of troubles with my new build so far. Knowing I have to replace my board in another month or so if I do manage to get it running properly is a bit of a downer :(

    ASUS P8P67 Pro/2600k - Can't boot an o/s

    So I got a replacement ASUS P8P67 motherboard. Installed it, fired it up with everything default, original BIOS etc. and same problems. Won't boot Windows, won't load windows cd, won't load ubuntu CD. Installed the SSD and DVD drive onto the 6G sata ports. Not sure what's going on. The fact...

    Hotmail Launches Accounts You Can Throw Away

    Yeah this is nothing new. I always use mytrashmail.com, and there are plenty of others out there as some people have mentioned. I figured most people online would have clued into this sort of thing years ago?

    Test Results: Realtek ALC892 vs X-Fi XtremeMusic

    FuSoYa, the XtremeMusic was in a machine running Ubuntu 10.10. So I guess it would be running some 3rd party linux drivers. I would assume since it wouldn't be running the official Creative drivers that there wouldn't be any default effect settings, but I'm not sure? But you have raised a good...

    Test Results: Realtek ALC892 vs X-Fi XtremeMusic

    I've never had an issue with crackling with mine, but that would be an issue. Off loading the work from the CPU is also handy, but again I'm not sure how much difference it makes in modern machines. p.s. If there's going to be flames, maybe I should put a disclaimer that this is purely my own...

    Test Results: Realtek ALC892 vs X-Fi XtremeMusic

    Hi Guys, I recently purchased a new gaming rig, with an ASUS P8P67 Pro board. I have had my X-Fi XtremeMusic for a few years, and was curious whether it was still worth using the card compared with the onboard sound of a new motherboard. I thought I would share my test results, hopefully...

    what gaming mouse do you use/love?

    I have a wireless Logitech G7 that I love. The first wireless gaming mouse that I purchased, and I fell in love. I loved the fact that there was no mouse cord getting in your way at times. People cry lag and all of that on wireless mice. When it was new and the battery was full I couldn't notice...
