Hi, I just installed a new motherboard this week - Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 (Socket 939 & Upgradable to AM2) AGP & PCI-Express Motherboard - with these parts:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ (Socket 939)
BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI

Everything seems to work ok, but the regular usb sockets in the back, seem to forget the mouse, or the modem is there when I boot the pc, the mouse and modem are in the two sockets beside each other. They don't do this every time, but every 2 or 3 times. It's very annoying. I have installed SP2 and updates, the ULi AGP driver which was on my motherboards driver disk. I've never installed a motherboard before, so maybe I've missed a driver for something. I don't know if these ports are 2.0 or not.
One thing, I just checked the IRQ in device manager, it seems that one of the ALi PCI to USB open host controller is sharing number 21 with my sound card, is this what's causing it?

For the graphics card, I installed a 91.31 driver, and DX9.0c, I don't know if there is anything else I can do to improve its performance, like switching things off or on in the settings, increasing things, etc, but if you have any tips, go ahead. My PC is very raw, no corruptions, it's just been formatted and is fresh with the SP2 updates for Win XP Pro.

do you have both usb support and usb 2.0 support enabled in the bios (page 36 of your user manual) and is legacy support enabled or disabled?

All 3 USB, 2.0. and Legacy are enabled. And btw, p36 of my manual is not the same as yours unless your page 36 is in german ;)

try disabling legacy devices..see if that makes a difference. Nope..mine is the global/english pdf manual on the Asrock website. When you put the board driver cd in to autorun, did it show any usb drivers available? Did you install the chipset drivers? Often motherboard specific chipset drivers work better than the standard microsoft drivers.

Hi, it appears to have worked so far, 2 restarts and they are still coming on. I changed the legacy thing to disabled, and installed the K8 CPU driver on the mobo disk. I had already installed the AGP driver, and USB 2.0 driver, except that only worked when I installed SP2. Anyway, thanks. one other problem is that since I installed the graphics 91 driver, I get this message saying you can't use SLI unless you got 2 cards bla bla, and it wants to connect to the net to go to slizone.com, how do I get rid of that?
