Hello, I have a question about the P3B-1394 motherboard that I desperately need help with. Here is the problem: Every time I go to startup my computer it shuts down after about 1 seconds. Then I start up again and it continues to load as normal. I am running Win2k and my bios right now is 2004 beta 4, it also did this with the 2004 bios. You should note that my computer DOES shut down as normal. Here are all the things I have tried: 1) I checked the all the wires to see if there is a connection problem and I even changed the power supply. 2) I unhooked all my (hard drives and CD drives) AND I also removed ALL my hardware. AND I replaced my video card. 3) I disabling the Power Management in the bios. 4) I reinserted the CPU and Ram chips. Along with that I put in a new CPU chip. 5) I used another momentary contact switch. 6) I tired loading the Bios Defaults and Setup Defaults 7) I have swapped every bit of hardware in my computer with parts I know are good. And I have come to the conclusion that it has to be something to do with the motherboard itself. Here is my current system configuration: --------------------------------------- Asus P3B-1394 motherboard w/ 333 Celeron Guillemont Geforce 256 SBlive (X-Gamer) ADS USB to Ethernet Maxtor 30gig UDMA 66 Hard drive Creative 24x DVD Encore Dxr2 Smart and Friendly Writeable Drive (CD-Racer) Logitech Wingman Mouse Microsoft Internet Keyboard --------------------------------------- Any help you could give me with this problem would be very much appreciated. Thank you again for your help and corporation. Sincerely, Patrick

Hello, I have a P3B-1394 motherboard and everytime I go to startup my computer it shuts down after about 2 secconds. Then I start up again and it continues to load as normal. I am running Win2k and my bios right now is 2004 beta 4 (the newest I think) It also did this with the 2004 bios. My computer DOES shut down as normal with no problems. I checked the all the wires to see if there is a connection problem and I even changed the power supply. I tired e-mailing asus about a month ago with no answer. I also searched the newgroups and still no answers. I was hoping someone here might and an idea on what is wrong. PLz help if you can. By the way I am not a computer newbie. THX for yout help. --------------------------------------- Asus P3B-1394 motherboard w/ 333 Celeron Gullimont Geforce 256 SBlive (X-Gamer) Winnov Vidium Capture Card ---------------------------------------

When I tried the connection I reinsterted the CPU and Ram chips. I even went as far as replacing them with a different one. I also tried another power supply. And still dosen't work. I also removed ALL my hardware, I unpluged my hard drives and CD drives. Still not working right. I used another power switch, momentary contact switch and STILL nothing. So at this point I would have to guess it has to be the motherbaord. Even though when my dad used it it worked perfect. He gave to me after about 3 weeks of use. Then the second it was in it started doing this. Man, i'm confuessed. Thx for the help guys. I appricate.

I tried something else that didn't work. Heres wha I did: I unhooked all my drives (hard drives and CD drives) and I still have the problem. I also tried disabling the Power Mangement in the bios. Nope no suceess. I am running out of ideas. This is a really weird problem

I just read that you can choose somewhere which one to install, could someone inform me on how I can go abouts doing this. THX.. . I appricate it.

Installing in ACPI or Standard PC??? PLZ tell me how I can pick. This is the first I heard about it. Thx.

Hello, I am trying to use my ADS "USB to Ethernet" card on Windows 2000 Pro. and when I put the drivers in I get an error message saying "The INF file did not match the once it expected." I tried the drivers that came with it, and the new ones (acually old) that were on the site. Why is this happening and am I able to use this product with win2k? I thank you for your help.

Here is what hardware I have. ------------------------ Sblive X-Gamer Gullimont Geforce 3D Prophet Asus P2L97 motherbaord I don't know exactly when it disappeared, but it did. I'm not sure what else to say. I am pretty sure my mother supports this, I am very sure. If any one has any ideas I am willing to listen. THXs very much.

Does anyone have any ideas when symantec is going to realease a Norton Utilites for win2k. Are there problems using the NT4 one? Any help would be appriciated. THX
