I have to go along with the other person who replied to your message. Stay away from ASUS. Their support for Linux doesn't exist. In fact, when one tells a support person he is using Linux, from that moment on the rep is trying to get off the phone. Downright rude.
And my problem isn't even linux related - I have the same symptoms in windows too. I have e-mailed their support an number of times, detailing my problem (both in windows and linux terms), explaining what I've tried, and what I think the problem might be. All I asked is that they tell me if this is a known problem, is there a bios update on the way. Heard nothing back. This board is going back. I'm happy to "downgrade" to an earlier Gigabyte model, because I know it will *just work*
As far as the board is concerned, I haven't had my ONE and only ASUS board since my 32 bit days, but I recall never getting the board to see the correct processor speed, despite the supposed support for the processor. The most annoying part was that the computer froze up at times that looked to be completely random, requiring a hard reset. I was always doing a reiserfsck --rebuild-tree on the drives. Sounds like what I'm experiencing.
