sikanimator if your PC is not connected to a network or a cable modem you have to disable onboard ethernet chip. If you you don't do that Windows will try to connect to a network and receive no answer that's why will wait that much when loading.

Thanks man but it turned out to be the deal with disabling DMA in bios and then letting windows enable it.

Works like a champ now!

I'm glad to hear that it works. I remember how happy I was when I found out the answer with disablig DMA mode for IDE channels in BIOS and I have to thank to Vihsadas for mentioned me in this thread. I'm glad to help other users thus I've got help too when I needed.

That's the whole reason this thread was compiled! I'm glad that someone is getting use out of it. Thanks!

Thanks!

UPDATE: Multiplier's not working section updated. Apparently, setting the CPU interface to "OPTIMAL" has helped some people with this problem. IT SURE DID FOR ME!!

Thanks Flasx and Pooldoc101

UPDATED: Added info about why only 3 sticks of RAM will work, even though the boards have 4 DIMMS.

I found a solution to the crackling noise problem on a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2. In windows go to the windows volume settings and ensure that the control for TV Tuner is shown (even though I don't have a TV Tuner). Simply mute this channel. It stopped all crackling comping from the speakers for me.

Okay, problem with onboard sound crackling on the PRO2 added to page 2 of the FAQ. Thanks to kurtaotto!

UPDATED.

Added info about autorecovery on startup.

I've just purchased a pro2 board, should've come here first...

About ET4 not reading the AGP speeds correctly, well, this is true.

So for those of you that don't know, you can get correct information on the nV chipset such as agp speed, bus speed, ram speed by downloading the nVidia System Utility here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/sysutility_1.0.html

Also, most settings can be changed dynamically within windows.

Have fun.

UPDATED!

Check out the link a the top of FAQ to the SWEET new "REMIX Nforce Drivers" by Morpheus1. He made some new drivers for the Nforce2 Chipset with GREAT Soundstorm improvements. These Drivers truly improved my MP3 playback quality. Also, the SW IDE driver works great!!!
