Loading ...Fans etc. won’t stop after Shutdown
I had contacted Asus too, I got reply after a day telling me I should back up the data and format/install Windows XP again. LoL. It’s solved anyways.

I have received e-mail from Asus, officially and not through usual Support method. Thanks to Gary [from Anandtech] for that! and ofcourse Thanks to Asus… It seems to have solved the problem with performance lag when copying files from or to the devices connected with JMicron, even when you use default driver of Windows XP, the usual “Standard Dual Channel IDE Controller” but I am not satisfied about the BOOT time . . .
It seems as though the when installing the Jmicron controller the default could be DMA/PIO which it must be detected as Ultra DMA 5 in order for these controllers to speed up (with the device/drives attached).

I have been told by Asus to send the board in question back to the Distributor, have them checked and then sent to Asus RMA but I am not going to do that. It’s Pakistan not USA. It will take months before I get a new board and besides I don’t think it’s a hardware problem, it’s the stupid drivers released by Asus.
The proof is simple, install Windows Vista and it loads up all drivers, you will not feel any performance lags or any thing like what you face in Windows XP after installing drivers provided by Asus. Windows Vista Ultimate’s installation time with me is 15-20 minutes only, the boot time with default drivers and installation is just 20 seconds with 1 GB of RAM and double of that with 512 MB of RAM.

Yeah, if you don’t want to curse Asus or yourself later for buying an expensive Board giving you problems which you won’t be able to resolve then DON’T buy Asus P5B Deluxe. Yeah I know, the Hardware Review sites might be calling it a good performer, surely it is, surely it can over clock well too. People reaching a 100% over clock but if you will be using integrated audio on this board then you are out of your luck.
Audio drivers provided by Asus for the said board, for Windows XP and most probably Windows Vista too are known to cause problems. I wonder why on earth no Hardware Review site found out about this. Perhaps they did but “Did not want a bad name for Asus” or perhaps if they published it publicly, they would not get free lunch from Asus anymore? Yeah this can be a reason… Read the rest of this entry »

Here I present direct download links to most of the drivers, taken off Asus’s FTP. How? Using COMMON Sense. So enjoy downloading and do I need to say do all at your own risk because I am providing you ASUS links and some directly from INTEL. Keep the comments coming please…
