I have an ASUS mobo, about a year and a half old, 2.4 GHz P4. It worked well with Linux 9.1 for about 5 months, and then Linux crashed. I waited for 9.2. Linux 9.2 crashed and burned about a week after I installed it. I have no idea whether it was mobo related or not. I will say that I have absolutely no trouble with XP on the same machine. (I know you folks find it hard to believe, but it's quite true!) I run my hard disks and scanner on SCSI, CD-R and DVD on the mobo controller. FWIW, I think I may reinstall 9.1. I don't like what I'm reading here about 9.3. --doug

Doug, If you'll do a search of the mail archives, as well as the original poster, you'll find some mails concerning ASUS motherboards and the fact that they are very anti-Linux! Your situation is not surprising at all on an ASUS, try something better, if you can.

I have 2 Asus A7N8x-E motherbords in use, I suffered 3 bad ones, one that corrupted my hard drive. I went to Asus simply because they offered more extras on the board than anything else I saw. Recently I bought 2 sticks of Kingston 512M DDR (Recommended) which would not run on this board, it wouldn't boot, but ran fine on an Asrock board. I had to install a modified BIOS, alter the memory timings and voltage, stable over the last 6 days or so. My next purchase definitely won't be Asus. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
