OT - Need Some PC Advice

Esd?

Electro Static Discharge A small electric discharge into a component you're handling. They can be so tiny you won't even know or feel them, BUT your electrical equipment will. Especially like a processor or a mobo.

I got the new board today. I haven't had a chance to pull it out of the packaging yet but will do it later.

ESD - will do.

Make sure you update the drivers for the board.

Um what did you mean by this? And how would I do it?

Check the ASUS site and then check for the latest drivers for your chipset on the mobo and for the mobo itself (this may be on an installation disk with the board, just check for current versions). Look for any processor drivers also (may not need one)! Download anything you find (related to your mobo, processor and chipset) and put it in storage, just incase you need to update later.

Good luck AT and remember to have fun. If you don't have ESD strap or gloves, make sure you ground yourself on the power supply (power off) by touching it frequently...
