As few of you know, I have been having many problems with P3V4X motherboards (I now hate them, the ones that don't work anyway)) Over the past few weeks I have been trying to find a solution to why all of the P3V4X's I had seen were not working(with one exception) I posted topics about this which in generated a total of 114 posts and we were still unable to solve the problem. I had gone throught 2 P3V4X motherboards that didn't work, Asus tech support even to this day, has not responded, and I had been feeling very disheartened. But fear not!!!! I was craving the oooy-goooy features of hte P3V4X and I was determined to get it working. I went and exchanged my P3V4X(the salesman gave me hell cause the product ID was not on the mobo, I didn't take it off, but the serial # of the box and mobo was the same so he geave me a new mobo anyway) I went home, took out my BP6(with Dual Celeron 400s I might add http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif ) and put my new P3V4X mobo screwing it in only in two places. Before that I screwed it in 4 places. I had heard somewhere that the screws can do some funky stuff.(I believe a solution to one mobo problem has that a certian screw that was in, completed some sorta circut that wasn't supposed to be there or something. Well anyway, I plugged the vid card and all else into the mobo, and carefully plugged my new Iiyama Vision Master Pro 450 into my video card and booted it up.
No Problems! The board worked fine!!!
I don't know what was done to make it work, was it the screws, or was it the board itself? I don't know if it was the screws or just pure luck, I was just overjoyed that it worked.
Starmaster and I got together and concluded that this was a fine board if ypu can find one that actually works. Since we both had to go through 2 other board to find one that works, we conluded that....
The first one's a dud,
The second one's a doosy,
And the third is a charm.
