yeah, but why buy a new chip only to deal with the problems I had before again?(although, now that i mention it, i didnt explain my problems before)
Sometimes it wouldnt boot, I'd have to reset the CMOS so often it was rediculous.
Another reason im switching is because this is my second nf3 250Gb, my first was DOA. I contacted newegg and they sent me a new one no prob. The second was fine for a good 2-3 months. Then I switched CPU's for a week (to play with a sempron)... and I didnt experience problems untill i switched back to my 3200+. I flashed my bios 3 times. And this last flash seemed to help, because all my problems went away... then this sudden death thing came. Now i cant get rid of these long beeps.
I'm simply fed up with playing with it, spending money on shipping it back and forth...
like i said... ****ty board, ****ty support ... asus gets my business.
Probably bad luck... but I've never ever had a problem with Asus. So instead of shipping this board back for an RMA, and waiting a week or two to get a new one... i'm just going to save myself the trouble and get an Asus.
