Q: I recently bought a new motherboard is an Asus A8N-formatted SLI.
I installed everything, and everything seemed to work fine.
On the weekend I went to a LAN.
Battle Field 2 kept crashing. C C genral u0026 kept crashing. C C
Also u0026 genral kept crashing on skirmish play for one minute and all the buildings explode over.
I says games can not seem to play Direct X games just my machine either crashes or drops back to straigh windows.
I have tested my ram PC and other PC it showed the whole night with memtest x86 that came with no erros.
I tired, the drivers that came with my mobo and video card.
I have download the latest drivers from the virus net
Ive scanned with three different anti-virus programs
But no matter what my machine just to play direct x first games
I if it was because I boot from SATA2 HDD SATA HDD
so I formatted and now I start off that.
It takes a while to boot, I think the SATA controller may be filling up? Uknown
Also is a device that always comes up in the device manager
Any more ideas?
I really did not want to buy a different motherboard?
Everything was now my machine works just playing games!
Re:I have installed windows XP pro 5 times on 2 different hard disks.
These disks both work fine in my other machine
its not the windows installed
all though im about to do a clean no SP2 install of windows XP
Ill have to download prime thats about the only thing i havent done
i still think it could be a stuffed Mobo because it takes years to boot

try running prime95. Did you check the HD with the factory utility?
If all else, it might be a bad windows install and its time to format. Hopefully your haven't activated your copy of windows yet (if using XP).
And even if you have activated, it won't make a difference. Microsoft allows for 3 activations (of the same computer) in a three month period. At least they used to.
Anyhow, have you checked your temperatures? Maybe things are getting a little hot and thus your problems. It could be your graphics adapter overheating or your CPU. Try to check the temps of both. Make sure all fans are spinning (if your card has a fanned heatsink).

Re:You must be new to this board. I would start by posting a little more information without using kid words.
edit: your new post is a little informative.
