Reseat your Heatsink. You may not be making good enuff contact. Also reapply you Thermal grease lightly to the CPU and the heatsink (at contact points). I have found that helps me get a better bonded surface area btw cpu/hs. GL

Hmm.. something is going on with your install or hardware conflict because I am running the same with no problems what so ever. I know there are peeps out there with this same problem do some looking and see what you come up with.
**anyone have any ideas for this guy??

Zeus...try disable Nview in the start..run..msconfig..startup system config utility. I found one guy that had your problem and that fixed him.

Thanks for the 'heads up' will give that a go :toast:

Also try this:

"Run Driver Cleaner 3 to remove stubborn registry, inf, dll (BSOD), etc..This is really big difference over install exsits will create more problems with old driver and new driver mixed together.

DO clean on Nvidia, then Drivers.cab then SP2.cab then close.

Install new drivers then restart to windows"

stoped and Disabled the 'Nvidia display driver sevice' and it installed np

But the 'Nvidia display driver service' has started again and is back on auto :confused:

will reboot and C what happens

Edit stopped the service after install but b4 reboot

Well what ever it was, disabling the service after installing the Geforce driver 81.98 but B4 rebooting to install the new driver seems to have sorted it out

the service is running an no issues ATM :)

Changing my XP-120 to SI-120 lower my MB temp 6-8C. Don't know why.

Bios 1103 showing on ASUS website (UK)

A8N32-SLI Deluxe Bios version 1103
1- Support VCT Function for both LAN.
2- Show pink and red color when oversetting Dram voltage.
3- Fixed System show wrong Memory Installed Size when Enable Memory Hole Function.
4- Update AI Booster Code to improve overclocking ability.

here and a few clicks

I'm still using 0903 BIOS. No need to upgrade to 1103.

I was gone during weekend. I'll try smth tomorrow. I'll be back...

Thanks for the heads up Zeus... has anyone tried Bios 1103 yet? I'm still running 0903 without any real issues and my last BIOS update on this board was an ordeal so i don't want to do it if it's not improving anything.

No problems running the new bios. Flashed using Alt+F2..worked like a charm. I have noticed a drop in the 12v rail (read 11.65) though since loading this bios...weird.

No problems here with bios 1103 but did -

New Install of XP
New Nforce driver update
New Geforce driver update

All at the same time and system is only at STD (CnQ)(except GPU) ATM
Getting all software on and backed up B4 running to the overclock

What Backup software R u guys using with a raid 0 array ?

(As the software I got with my external maxtor drive doesn't like the raid 0 array and fails to work :slapass: )

And - Does it allow u to Boot from the backup or do u have to reinstall XP first?
