Bios, but nothing else....

[Heebus]

I just pulled my ram and noticed that the latency written on it isn't what the latency was set too in bios, even tho everything was set to auto, not sure if this makes a diference, but want to give all info to the masses to ensure all options/problems can be exposed... about to reset cmos, and try again... good luck to me... lol

Auto is just "safe" usage to ensure everything works fine without a hitch. Once you get everything going, then you can go back into your BIOS and input the correct timings to get the most out of your RAM.....have fun with the reset lol

does it matter which usb port I use?...

thanx for the response... I just looked in the bios section here on the forums, and it states that 1101 ( the one in my system) is recommended, is it wise to upgrade it?... gonna go ahead and pull some ram, and a video card to see if that helps, I will leave 1 stick, 4 gig in it, windows 7 64 bit needs a min of 4 gig right?...

Hello mate, the gentleman who suggested that BIOS 00018 is part of the ASUS ROG development team and works with the BIOS engineers. Give it a try

I messed up a few partitons tho, so when I am done I will need help putting a couple small ones together to craete a bigger one... thanx for all you help so far guys ( and girls if anyone here helping is one)... you are great!!!!

Not to worry about the BIOS, we can sort that out later. And joining the partitions is pretty simple. Good luck with the install! when you get everything going, then we can concentrate on sorting out the minor details and get you going full swing

installing motherboard drivers, then vidseo card, then hook to internet and update my windows 7... then will put in other 3 sticks of ram, and other video card... wooohooo, super excited!!!!!

a couple of questions, 1 I notice the light beside my video card is yellow, is that normal?... and does it matter which place I plug my monitor into, and I am assumming I hook it too the video card in the first slot, is that correct?...
