CMC_SAVAGE Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 What does it say in the BIOS? The default settings on that MOBO should be right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetman Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 I will check default settings. Whatever they were is what I stared with and started haveing problems getting through windows XP install. It would fail to copy files to hard drive to start the install. I tried the install numerous times and it would fail on differant files. I found these settings from another post. Should I use these? CPU Freq: 200 MHz (400 FSB) System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Resulting Frequency: 200 MHz (400 FSB) Memory Timing: User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 8T DDR Reference Voltage: 2.7 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* All other settings are motherboards defaults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 They look to be about right. But like I said, the Asus boards are great. The SPD should be right without having to mess with anything. If you think your RAM is at fault you can run Memtest . Besides making sure your HDD is ok, check the XP disk. It's amazing what a few scratches can do. (I've been there, trust me). Out of curiousity, what is the speed of the optical drive that you are using for the install? I had a 56x CDROM drive that gave me problems on occasion when trying to install software. When I used my DVDROM (much slower), I had no problems installing software. I'm now using a DVDROM and a Plextor DVD burner. The 56x CDROM is now collecting dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
