I have an annoying problem with my slow usb ports.After my last format i installed xp sp2 with all updates but 1 week ago I tried to transfer some data to a flash memory stick but it needed for 4gb-150min.LOL.I tried the other ports but same.The HDD was 90% free and the stick had 8gb capability.I have asus extreme striker ii.Any ideas?please.

Are other usb drives slow too? Maybe try formatting the drive and try the transfer again

Hi guys I am hoping you can help me with my problem. I just finished putting toguether the system in my sig and everything was working great. I was running Memtest on the memory modules (one at a time) and one of the times I hit esc (exit and reboot), my monitor would not turn back on... For some reason when I connect the DVI cable to the GPU it goes automatically to Power Save mode??? It stays on with the DVI disconnnected posting the "no signal" message, as soon as I connect it to the Video Card it shuts down (so I know is not a problem with the monitor. I also connected my PSP to the monitor and it's working fine). There are no error messages on the LCD Poster and it even shows the "en setup" message when you press del in between the POST messages (that would take me to the BIOS). Do you guys have any idea what could the problem be and how to fix it? Thanks in advance for the help.

And now it is giving me "error message" with 4 beeps right after the "Detect IDE" on the LCD poster. I have nothing connected through IDE in my computer though...

4 Beeps is for a video card error, check that you have both power cables plugged into your video card, ie 6 pin and 8 pin and check that your monitor is plugged into the correct dvi plug on your video card, its usually the bottom one. Hope this helps.

I tried with only one video card at a time on all different slots and the same thing is happening. One thing I noticed that is happening now that it wasn't before is as soon as I power up the PSU, The ROG logo lights up. Before, in order for it to light up I would have to press the power button first. I also checked the Asus Website and there are quite a few people with the same problem which would indicate it's definately the board. Any other suggestions?

Just updated from an e8400 to QX9650, also update NB/SB waterblock with air cooled Mosfets. Computer stops the boot at INIT8042. What is INIT8042 referring to and how does one solve this problem?

Thanks to all that respond.

Clear CMOS?

[Deathspine]

Turned off power supply, removed memory held clear cmos button for one minute. Did not help. If it stops at INIT8042 if I understand this correctly then the problem is with the next item which is enable keyboard?

[lcrava]

I tried clear CMOS 3 different ways (pressing the button, moving the memory RTC jumper and taking the battery out) and still no luck. What gets me is that it was working. Slim, you have any ideas? I am all out and I'll probably just RMA it tomorrow.

[slim142]

Turn off power supply
remove power cable (from psu)
remove all but one RAM stick
Clear cmos, just press it and release it, dont hold it
put back psu cable
turn on and check

If that doesnt work, try using the RAM stick in the very last slot (white away from CPU)

[Deathspine]

Thanks Slim142 , I have pulled all hardware except CPU, It did get past CPU INIT. I removed the battery, cleared CMOS and will let it sit a while. I need a mental break for a while . I will get back with it later.

Hello!!
I want to buy a kit of 2x2Gb ram..
What is the best and stable, without problems kit, for striker extreme 2??
Thnx.

[lcrava]

Thanks for trying to help Slim. I am just going to RMA the board. I'll probably get it back in a month.

[slim142]

RMA should fix all your problems
Make sure to list every one in a piece of paper when you send it to ASUS

For all CSX owners
Something weird is happening to me.

I just got my CSX Diablo 4Gbs kit (Thanks Kasparz) and it is Linpack stable [100 times, 1850Mbs of RAM (computer only sees 2.50Gbs)] and Memtest 3.8 stable 130% (running 4 at the time each of 565Mbs). However, when I run Memtest86+ 2.01 (bootable from DOS) it gives me error on Test#3 and sometimes Test#4 even on relaxed latencies @ 1333Mhz.
Right now is on 7-7-7-18 2T 1600Mhz Trc:30 / NBv1.44 (1.47 Real) vDimm 1.84 (1.90 real)

So far, the computer runs fine and I have no freezes, BSoDs, crashes, or problems with anything. Im starting to think Memtest86+ is not a reliable utility to use anymore? (As many of you know, Linpack stresses the heck out of the PC and Memtest is full RAM). I just downloaded OCCT to try it (first time) and check.

What do you all think?

Slim, I've had the same problem with memtest 2.01.
I was running 1.90 vDimm & getting a few errors, so I tried 1.92 vDimm & still a few errors.
Then I added 1.94 vDimm & the errors stopped...
Hope this helps bro.

Could it be because of the vdimm drop? I noticed my vdimm is most of the time at 1.90, but drops to 1.89 sometimes. I dont know if this is a big problem.

Anyways, my G.Skills didnt last more than 3 months with 1.86 (1.92 real) so thats why Im using 1.84 (1.90 real) for now, but I will try that anyways. Thanks

I had to go the other way with my OCZ 2 x 2 1600EB's....down to 1.84 - 1.86 in BIOS....I don't remember exactly how much my board overvolts the ram anymore....I think around .02 - .04V....maybe even the .06 Slim has.

Well it all depends on the load. The overvolt can be as much as 0.06 (by a really small amount of time, normally is 0.04)

So weird, I just finished playing COD5 after an hour and no problems. I also ran Memtest86+ 2.01 Test#5 and it passed it 16 times (Ran 48 minutes).

As long as everything works like it should Im happy

Cant wait to finish my WC to start adding volts to that NB and overclock my PC!!!

New Bios surfacing on Asus Forums. Time for slim142 to decide which bios he likes best. He still is undecided on 901 or 1104 or ?
