Are you using the very latest BIOS update for this motherboard? My new Asrock motherboard came with the 1.00 BIOS, and I immediately updated it to the 1.40 BIOS before even trying to boot Fedora Core 4 which was already installed on the hard drive I put in this system. I also have an earlier Asrock motherboard, the Dual939-SATA2, which came with the 1.20 BIOS and it didn't recognize my Athlon 64 X2 4400+ on that board until I updated it to the 1.4 or 1.5 BIOS. This board is updated to the 2.20 BIOS now. If Asus has put an updated BIOS out on its web site, I suggest you update to it. Also, did you check your motherboard manual carefully to see what the default settings for ACPI are? > Bob Cochran > >
