sraycoz,

I can't really answer your question, but I noticed that you have AN7 board. What do you think of it, i was thinking of possibly getting one. Also, does it have the nvidia dolby encoding (Soundstorm or not)?

 

[Sazar]

seems fine to me...

Dreamliner-

overall i like the AN7 board. besides the motherboard beeping randomly occasionly and me not being able to figure out why it has proven to be a very good board. the set up of the baord is great, i love the new IDE positions. The board has a great diagnostic program for problems, with a reasonably well written book of codes for it. and the bios is great too. Overall i like it. But having gone through 3 boards in 3 years (MSI, another MSI, ASUS) i have learned to be optimistic 🙂

Hey, my mobo does that too, and I have a Gigabyte... and have no idea what the problem is.

Maybe its an nforce thing...

 

[VenomXt]

no idea but it doesnt seem to be affecting anything so i just tell it to shut up go about my business hehe.

 

[theevilsithlord]

Me too....o well
If i figure anything out about it ill post it.

 

[VenomXt]
