Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite set, and problems with the KB ...

thanks for the advice ! i let my computer run all afternoon, and when i came back, i touched the northbridge and southbridge. They're hot, but i think nothing to be afraid of (i could easily let my finger on them without burning myself, unlike my old i875 :)) Then again i don't know if they're suppo...

thanks ! finally got myself a X38 DQ6, no problem about the RAID5 (i had to reinstall windows of course, but the rest is OK) I don't know about the pipe system ... i hope it's going to work properly for a long time, i don't want to change my case !!! plus it's well cooled i hope there won't be any p...

Hi Indeed i was not overclocking ! the CPU is installed corectly (the mobo finally worked for a few minutes, before it rebooted endlessly), no spacer (does it still exist ? i thought it was only for the duron and athlon processor back then), and the cooler is installed corectly. I think i'm going to...

thanks for the answer ! I'm really suspecting i cracked the MB while installing the fan ... i must admit, when i installed the CPU and its fan, i didn't remove the board from the case so the MB probably didn't like it ... i always did this in the past, never had problems .... I'll try checking the P...

Hi With all my problems with the BX2, i'm starting to think about getting a new board. As i had just bought DDR2, i thought about these 2. My question is : since i have a lian li case, and the board is fixed upside down, is this a problem with the P5E or X38-DQ6 cooling system with pipes ? won't all...

ok it's getting really messy ... today i tried to set mu thermalright ultra90 instead of the intel boxed fan, and my mobo boot ... so i tried the Q6600 and memory, no problem here. Really i don't know what i did different yesterday ! Anyway, i jute replaced the board insid the case, testing each tim...

no post screen at all, my LCD LEDs remain orange :/ I tried with my old memory and old CPU. I do have a DQ6 in use in another computer, but i'm afraid to break it as weel, it's not really mine ^^ plus i don't know about the bios, i don't know if it would accept neither the Q6600 nor the G Skill memo...

i finally tried to use a recovery disk, just in case, but the floppy doesn't seem to react
I contacted intel support, waiting for an answer .. in any case i hope this qualifies for warranty

if you have any other syuggestion, please tell me !
thanks !!

well, nothing new ... i took everything out of the box just in case, tried with the E6600, Q6600, corsair and g skill, still nothing ... no beep, all fans at 100%, nothing on screen :/ I also tried removing the battery for more than 1 hour, nothing setting the bios jumper configuration to "norm...

ok no moer red light when i boot with the HSFfixed
still, nothing on screen, and all fans running at max speed ..........

Hi everyone ! i think i did something wrong with my xbx2 ... I perviously had a perfectly working (well, excpt for the KB problme of course ...) with a E6600 and 2*1G Corsair memory. Yesterday, i decided to get a Q6600 (G0) and 2*2G of g skill memory. Turns out my computer won't boot anymore (i was ...

no problem here

same problem here, and also same problem about the PS2 KB ... seems to me like Intel DOES NOT want to correct this (not for the PS2 KB anyway ...)
i didn't update my bios since May, i did it yesterday, nothing new about these problems ...

I do have the same issue with a quickcam pro 5000, it's quite annoying ... still, i'd prefer if they released a fix for the PS2 KB problem ......... isn't the xbx2 their "state of the art" mobo right now ??

I did have this mobo before the xbx2, i would not recommend it cause i had problems with it (SATA ports suddenly had problems : i couldn't use them in AHCI mode and raid, only IDE ...), plus the backplate is REALLY a pain in the ass. Besides that, i don't have anything against that mobo, but it was ...

same problem here, but it seems they don't consider that as an issue ... Something odd i noticed, when there's not "too much" time between 2 cold boots, i don't have any pb. And also, my kb does work before the "BA" code page. did you try with another kb ? cause i hadn't have the...

oops, i misread my settings, automatic mode was enabled, it's not these settings then ...

Advanced / Drive Configuration - Use Automatic Mode Disabled - Primary Channel Disabled yeah i bet you're using exactly those two disabled :) i have the feeling that my problems come from these settings. you're using the same. i'm just too tired to try it with them enabled. maybe you have time? if ...

I'd be lead to believe it could be a problem with windows XP X64. Does it do the same in normal XP i don't know, i don't have a classic XP to try :/ but you've made me think : at first, when installing x64 on my raid5, pressing F6 key didn't work, after a reboot, it did, so i wonder if that could b...
