Sam,
You are probably right It was probably GA-965P-DS3 R 1.33. I just shoved the R on the end!

Seriously sytyguy, it's been several months since I haven't considered marking one of your posts 'report an offensive post'.
If you don't have anything useful to post, don't post at all.

Have you guys ever heard of a sound card causing lock-ups at bootup? Apparently my locking up issue was the fault of my sound card. But I just don't understand how a sound card could cause something like that. can somebody explain?

LOL! I took my tower in to a shop a couple years ago, because I was stumped. SAME situation as you. My soundcard was causing the computer to shutdown(Protect itself). Your card is either configured improperly, or its faulty, and your board is protecting itself. So yes, it does happen... ;)

There's so many reasons why it might do that. PCI slot damage, Card damage, Cards simply old(worn), and perhaps in conjunction with an OLD card, the southbridge is receiving faulty signals. The list could go on and on. So many variables...

Well, it happens on two different boards so I guess it's just the card...too bad, that xonar d2x was amazing...hopefully i'll get lucky w/ asus support...

maybe it needs grouding? i know its a different thing, but i had my monitor not work over HDMI on anything, but i grounded it once and it worked after that?
does that card have the floppy connector? i had the DX which did. if so maybe try another molex>FDD connector, unless your PSU has the actaul FDD connector. if you are using a convertor, and yuo are sure that works, maybe its connected to a molex thats connected to a line of molex, which pwoer something else? if so try it on a fully free molex.
(i hope i worded that last part correctly :D)

Shaff,
Why? Is there some rule that says we can't post without Sam? LOL!! If GM's post wasn't offensive, why was sytyguy's? I got a chuckle from both posts. As for Sam reporting an offensive post, for what, Inappropriate Humor? I was going to reply to GM's post myself, but sytyguy beat me to it. People need to lighten up and learn to laugh at things clearly meant to be funny, instead of carrying on over nothing! Accept the post as it was intended, laugh and move on!
I would have said, "Good one GM, I couldn't have said it better"! LOL!! I'm sure that would have earned me a nasty response! Why, I have no idea! Even if I was to say "Don't hurry back"! LOL!! You and Sam would have cut me to ribbons for it! You will also notice that no one else complained. And I didn't see you standing up for what was right a couple of pages back when I was being belittled! sytyguy is a good guy, and he does contribute to this and other threads. Good Lord, GM and Rob would have driven you guys up a wall. They used to needle me unmercifully, and I took it the way it was meant, in good fun!

lol yea i got it. I'm actually using my PSU's FDD connector, but it's at the end of a line of molex connectors, one of which powers my pump for my water loop. I guess I can try my other PSU cable with the FDD connector so there'll be nothing connected...

sytyguy - it does have to be said that you do only seem to pipe up to snipe and run, you don't do much posting around here which is fine but am afraid the saying is indeed 'if you don't have anything of value to post, don't post'. I believe you're a Mod on another site, even when not a Mod on other sites it's wise to post in a manner becoming of a Mod.. ..on other sites where i'm a humble poster away from the Kevlar suit & Mod buttons i always bite my tongue and try to post constructively..

Shaff,
I didn't say you were wrong, just overly sensitive! There was not an emoticon at the end of sytyguy's post, but it did start out "I love sarcasm in the late evening". How much more do you need to understand, it's a joke! Had sytyguy's post been the one GM sent, you and Sam still would have made the same complaint! You've made it crystal clear that you both don't like him! You chose to take offense, based on the sender, where obviously no offense was intended! Like I said, I laughed when I read it! Sam doesn't exactly have clean hands when it comes to sniping at people either, especially me! Quote:
Ah of course, the good old fashioned Russ 'last word'. A good bit of needless quoting here, and a bit of misinterpretation (I'm beginning to think it's deliberate) there, the sytyguy mod suckup with nothing useful posted.
or this one, Quote:
Before we get a Russ-o-matic "nobody will be able to afford them"!
If that's not sniping and inappropriate, I don't know what is! Somehow it's OK for him to have the last word, which I find very funny as in the first example above he accuses me of doing that very thing! The fact that my response to Oman7's post was a joke, in response to his joke, and had nothing to do with Sam or anything. Just something to shoot off his mouth about! I would also like to point out that I provided links to back up what I said in my original post. No links in the responses though!
Best Regards,
Russ

more on topic please :)
http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/showpost.aspx?i=642
whats intresting here is that on stock the 750 is destroyed, even with turbo mode on (whichi if you are going to keep stock it will be on), but ofc when both are OCed to 3.8, the 750 wins easily, though this is because the 965 was 3.4 to begin with and the 750 2.66

Rob,
Sometimes you have to download the HD Audio patch from Microsoft and run it. I had to do it with the UD4H, but not with the UD4P.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/i...48-x86-ENU.exe
This should solve your problem! Just run it and then put the CD back in the drive and it should finalize the HD audio install and then work!
Best Regards,
Russ
