Hey guys,
Got my new Asus Xonar DX today.
Had some issues getting it working - blue screen, random shutdowns etc.
Eventually did get it installed and it sounded good!
Unfortunately it came with side effects. The PC was extremely slow to POST and whenever the PC shut down there was a squeak from inside the PC.
Then the real issues began. The PC simply wouldn't POST at all. Removing the card did not help. Clearing the CMOS didn't help. Eventually stripping down to the most basic parts, removing the motherboard battery and then replacing it later got my PC working again. I then replaced the Asus Xonar DX and the same problems returned. I had to repeat the procedure of removing everything and waiting again.
I'm now fully reassembled without the DX in my system and everything's running normally.
I'm going to call the retailer I bought from tomorrow to arrange a replacement.
But I'm concerned it may not be the card that is causing the issue...
* I did make sure that the card had a molex cable connected to it.
* I checked all the cabling in the PC.
* I replaced the molex cable.
I don't have any more of those tiny PCI-E sockets to try the card in.
Should I have tried putting the molex cable into a different socket in the PSU? I'm pretty sure it was in the correct place but maybe that one socket could be faulty?
Any ideas guys?
