Built a system recently with an ASUS A7N8X motherboard. Everything seemed OK until a 3D environment was entered. The system reset or exited the program. All the software drivers are up to date along with XP SP1a. A range of video cards have been tried and I'm still experiencing the problem. The bios revision was the lates6t 1003. Any ideas????
 
We had lots of issues with this motherboard when we first had it in stock, it got so ridiculous at one point that we sent all our motherboards back. (8weeks ago)
We started selling this motherboard again last week and with the revised drivers, bios updates and sellectively picking memory type and brand we are now having more success.
I have to add though, that with all new chipset releases there are usually some problems, it seems that manufactures are releasing there motherboards sooner than they should , in order to steal a march on the competition, unfortunately it is us, the buying public that suffer with these near beta products.
Where else in industry would the buying public tollerate buying a product that often doesn't work properly out of the box and requires firmware upgrades just to run .
As we all know it sometimes takes several months before all issues are ironed out, can you imagine this being acceptable with a new stereo or television.
