Is there anybody out there in Australia using this motherboard?
The motherboard drivers cd was not with the motherboard when I got
it

and I

have downloaded everything from the ASUS site but I still can't

the
driver for ACPI \ ATK0103 High Precision Event Timer and I was
wondering

if

anybody else is having this problem.




V,
Look on the Downloads Page under Utilities at the very bottom. You
should find it there.

There were two problems in device manager and that fixed the ACPI \
ATK0110
problem but not the ATK 0103 problem.
I read a post in Google where one bloke said that this driver
automatically
loads when you load the motherboard drivers from the motherboard cd
but
was
not of any more help. I just find it odd that this is so but I guess
he
could be right as I have no way of proving it. Getting another
motherboard is
out of the question for me at this time.



V,
The drivers on the ASUS website aren't always the newest. You might
download therm direct from nVidia. If your using WinXP(32bit) I
believe
you have a 405/6100 chipset on your board. If so, try here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp32_8.26_11.09.html
If the error is related to the brains of the board that may cure the
issue. Might have something to do with AMD Cool N' Quiet as well! Do
you have it enabled in BIOS?
Rob C.


You are correct in your assumptions with the chipset and XP Pro 32bit.
Cool
and Quiet is enabled. To my way of thinking, an error is an error and
should
be fixed. The grossly annoying part is that the hard drive led on this
case
is nice and bright and flashes like a strobe security light. Damned
annoying.
I tried that driver and nothing has changed except that now my SATA hard
drive and burner are now on the taskbar in the safe to remove section.
Obviously it is not that particular driver problem.

Re you using XP SP2? The high precision event component was supplied with
sp2.


It must be only with nVidia chipsets then. I have built one with SIS and one
with VIA chipsets with no drama just starting with SP1. I don't have a
slipstreamed XP Pro and as all my bits and pieces are on external USB drives
I only load SP1 to get the USB gear working. My next thought this morning
was SP2 but the damned thing crashed before I tried it. Later on this
afternoon I will format and start again but try SP2 and see what happens.
