xl80325 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 After I changed my sli-dr to asus a8n sli premium, the high cpu usage problem which bothered me all these days disapperaed. So it's a motherboard failure. Too bad i have to rma this dfi sli-dr. It seems that when you select motherboard, you'd better go for the brand like asus and gigabyte. I know DFI got many good reviews for it's nf4 board, but nah...... maybe I will keep myself away from it after this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 or maybe that you are the only one that seems to have had this problem with high cpu use and it had to do with how you put it together and loaded it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacknack Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 I too was once a "format it" and "buy a new one" guy. Now I'm more of a "make it work" and "fix it guy." Good luck with your new board Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xl80325 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 It's not likely. I just uninstalled all the related devices in device manager, shut down my computer, change motherboard, turn on computer and login into windows xp. Install nforce drivers and forcewware drivers. And ererything is fine now. I don't think this has nothing to do with what I did. two days ago in order to solve this problem, I even tried windows xp 64bit edition. Whatelse can I do for it? So it's simply a hardware failure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are a serious windows registry jedi, you should most definitely reformat when you change motherboards! There are always too many IO considerations, registry entries and chipset differences to safely assume uninstalling devices in devman will automatically allow you to change out the backbone of your machine. But I guess good luck with your new mobo... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your new board But if you have a hardware problem, how can you fix it? For example i don't know what I should do except change the motherboard in my situation. And thanks for your good words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
