:p

These are great these, got 9019 in 06 (think thats gone up about 10pts :D ), and just done 2x rally's in Dirt, that seems to be running much better, had a quick run about on Stalker to which still runs great, and also the IQ looks to have improved in these drivers as well, so these will do me. :)

Gonna test new out right now >>> GRAW2 SP Demo (1.77GiG), MP was good maxed on my old rig, but I only got 1GiG ram till tomorrow as my 2GiG will arrive, as I got rid that crap 4GiG kit and got loan of this stick. :D
 
Only for 32bit :(

Bring on the 64 bit xp drivers now I say!

Actually I can wait, it's not like there are any problems with the current driver set... :D
 
FFS, came back from walking dog and this mobo again froze PC at end of download as it was transfering from TEMP Folder to Desktop, another 1.77GiG lost. :mad:

Are you sure its the mootherboard? If the PC is crashing all the time it sound more like faulty ram or possible a software problem.

Download Memtest 86 and burn it onto a CD and run that for 8 hours to see if you get any errors.
 
Wrote about it days ago, all new parts, Asus Crosshairs can be dodgy, I have tried 2 diff ram kits/psu/ ran out of case as of (grounding as ps2 dont work on bootup till I unplug/replug)

I am left with CPU/GPU or Mobo and I have passed all stress tests even OC'd, its random, it can be under stress or at idle jsut freezes no BSOD, I need reset it, blue led screen on rear of mobo flashes on and off with no fault codes just current time ticking away.

I have tried diff bios, diff drivers/apps its nothing like that, also read 100's of posts on Google about Crosshairs, my bios was well older so mobo is probably older stock but is a rev 1.04G not sure if you get newer ones.

Edit. Also tried 3 diff HDD's all Sata's.

How long did you stress it for.
 
Long enough, 3 hours, I cant really be without PC for long, I have overclocked all my days and know if it passes that it will not crash elsewhere, 18-24 hours of prime is not suited to my life.

I have a bad part, and CPU's rarely are faulty and since it can OC to 3.3GiG and pass 3 hours its prob ok, same for GPU OC'd to 705/1180 for 1 hour in ATI TOOL, no game will do that too it.

PSU was tested in old rig and also used a multimeter on all 12v rails, 5v and 3.3v, all are solid and + readings under full load OC'd.

Google input from peeps points to a lot of dodgy Crosshairs.

Once PC is working normally and I do go for max OC, I will run stress tests overnight (12-14hours).

Most restarts I have to unplug/replug in mouse/keyboard, also if I BACKSPACE over this text to DELETE it it is slow as hell to move cursor, seem s a power issue on mobo.
