ASUS Striker II Extreme

[slim142]

Just out of interest I have just noticed that removing my PCI soundcard has increased my memory scores in Everest noticeably. Have you tried removing yours and trying the video. Do you get better Everest scores also?

No I havent tried removing the sound card. I dont think is the sound card, I listen music everytime Im using the pc and I never freeze. SLI enabled or disabled, listening music never gave me a freeze. Also SLI enabled while gaming and using the prelude never gave me a freeze.
Why would the sound card cause a freeze while playing a movie?

And No, I havent tried benching w/out the sound card neither. How much did your score increased without the soundcard?

I dont think this is Prelude related because people with Xtremegamers and other cards are also having this freezes.

Im going to give this a last try, going to install 175.80 Beta with 0801 from scratch but Im going to make sure I create an image with Acronis this time. If this doesnt work, I hope tomorrow when I wake up I see a post from pmp saying "new bios 0802 changelog-> fixed isolated video issues" lol!

I understand your point, what I am suggesting is that the PCI slot is somehow interfering with the performance of the board. It probably does not matter what card is in there. My memory scores have definitely improved, and surely it is worth a try|!?

Not that I dont believe you but could you show me numbers please?
I think I said this in the other thread but Im going to give this a last try. Already preparing my files and HDDs for a fresh XP with 0801 w/ 175.80... we will see how this goes.

Thanks for the pic.

Just to let everybody know, Im f*cking done with SLI testing, Im so tired that no matter what I try, I always get the same results. Im just done with this until NVIDIA decides to work their @ss off and give us a working BIOS for their DAM SLI board which is the only reason why I bought this board.

Im tired of installing XP multiple times as well as updating it, installing my programs, trying different drivers, BIOS files to experience video freezes no matter what. Im DONE!

I just finished installing XP. I only installed nForce drivers (all), made an Acronis image, installed geForce 175.80, K-lite mega codec pack 3.9.5 and VIDEO FREEZES STILL PRESENT.

Im going to play some CS, install msn and try to relax for a while...

Well I've just played a 9GB MKV file for an hour with no freezes, SLi enabled. I guess I am Ok now!! Bios 0704.

I gave up after almost 2 years of fighting with buggy nVidia chipsets It started with 680i and ended on 790i and what can i say - nV chipsets are very gay

Kick out this board, get some fresh air, and forget about so many issues...
