11th Aug 2008

Overall Rating

3.5 stars

    3 stars
  • Ease of Set Up
    2 stars
  • Time Motherboard Owned
    Not supplied

Bad Points

Manual poor in some parts. Difficult to load operating system.
Problems with sound.
Problems with system reset.


General Comments

When the system does a reset the bios locks up after doing the memory test often with a false report that the cpu fan has stopped. To get round this the cpu fan speed checking has to be disabled.

There are twittering noises on the sound, including a pulse every second, noises when apps are loading or the screen is scrolled and a beep sound when windows are maximised or minimised. To eliminate these the record input device must be set to "stereo mix". I suspect a hardware design problem here!
