- Jul 22, 2010 SLI is not hardware dependent but NVIDIA limited the software for only their chipsets. Now it looks like that it can be hacked to work in any motherboard. OS X does not support this but Windows does and thus we need someone to be our guinea pig to test this. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked as Mac Pro is just a computer among others.

Click to expand.I think I see Kevin's point now. I didn't catch on to the fact that your problem is reboots, whereas I think the Marvell driver problem tends to be a system freeze. With the random reboots, do you get any entries in the Event Viewer? If the entries were all for the same device driver, that might suggest a source of the problem. If any failure addresses are random in nature, it could be a processor or a memory problem. A lack of messages implies a hardware source for the problem, but will make it harder to find the source. The fact that your Intel card won't work is another clue.
Could you give us a hardware inventory? Do you have a lot of PCI cards already in the system?
You could use Asus Probe, as a quick check of temps and voltages. A little extra memory voltage wouldn't hurt, like 2.7V instead of the normal 2.5V. Adobe air sdk mac. Get a copy of CPUZ or Everest and see if any operating frequencies or memory timings are out of sorts. If you are using four sticks of memory, you'll need more relaxed memory settings, and the BIOS may not use the most ideal settings for that. In addition to Kevin's suggestion of memtest86+, there is also Prime95 from mersenne.org. That will place a 100% CPU load on the system while in Windows.
You use the 'torture test' option and run mixed FFTs - the calculation has a known result, and Prime can detect when the computer 'does not compute'. If Prime95 runs clean for hours on end, the answer might be quite simple. RMA the motherboard.
In your failure scenario, which is backup of network drives to a USB drive on your computer, not only the network could be a source of the problem, but the USB drive could also be a contributor. You could try copying files from one network drive to another network drive, to eliminate the USB drive as the source of the problem. If the USB drive is bus powered, it would be drawing power from the +5V signal on the USB port.
I think your motherboard runs all the USB ports from +5VSB, and does not offer an option to run USB from the regular (more powerful) +5V output. It could be when the USB drive does a seek, that the extra current is enough to overload +5VSB.

I assumed it was a network issue since my network backup was not completed.
The crash yesterday was a lockup. However, I did not reboot when I replaced the network driver.
Maybe I should have rebooted instead of just restarted the service. Lack of messages is it!
ATI PCI Express 3001 FireGL video board is the only card. Only two sticks of Ram. I had this problem on an Asus A8V motherboard also. I replaced that motherboard with the A8N SLI due to this issue. The 250 GB USB drive is externally powered. The network problem only occurs after hours of copying files across the network.

X2 4800+ is 110 watts, 110/12.(1/0.90) = 10.2A FireGL 3100 is an x300, so I don't think it draws excess power. I did a Google search to review your history. Download videos mac free. I think this is roughly the hell you've been though.
1) Bought A8V Deluxe plus X2 4800+ dual core. 2) Had to buy a 3200+ to flash BIOS to 1013 to make X2 work. 3) Had network problems with the Marvell LAN. Tried an Intel Gigabit card (82540EM based?). Computer would not POST? 4) Switched to A8N-SLI Premium.

5) Tried many Marvell drivers. Still random reboots. 6) Tried Intel card again?
Actually, I have some additional suggestions for the Prime95 test. Since you are running dual core, you should run two copies of Prime95.
Apparently, there is a setting you can apply to each instance of Prime95, called the 'affinity'. I'm not sure where you'll find this, but it could be Task Manager. You want to assign one copy of Prime95 to 'processor 0' and the other copy to 'processor 1'. Affinity references: Bottom post here: I was reading some interesting stuff about overclocking dual core processors the other day. A number of people had commented, that the two cores on the X2 do not overclock equally. In one case, the second core was barely able to meets its spec speed.
A couple of bright lads, used a razor blade to remove the heat spreader on their expensive processors. That allowed their heatsink to be applied right to the silicon die. To their surprise, both cores had equal overclocks, after that modification. The hypothesis there, is that there is some defect in the thermal material between the silicon die and the metal heat spreader on the processor package.
These overclockers suspect there could be a hot spot on one of the cores, caused by bad contact, or a void in the thermal material. I am not suggesting to anyone to get out a razor blade and try this mod. It is much better to RMA a bad processor, then burn your warranty with a mod like this. This is just to illustrate how a badly cooled core can result in cranky processor operation, and the need for a processor RMA. So, that is why I am suggesting running two copies of Prime95 and using the affinity feature to make sure one copy of Prime95 runs per core. You may find, by doing this test, that the processor immediately reboots, in which case you can suspect a dud processor. You could also blame it on the motherboard, but this is, after all, your second motherboard.
As a crosscheck, remove the X2 and put the 3200+ back in the computer for a while. See if a network backup will run without problems that way, and one copy of Prime95 running on the 3200+ is OK. While it won't really prove anything, other than that the motherboard I/O devices are in fact OK, it will help point the finger at that X2 of yours. I still cannot figure out why the PCI Ethernet card doesn't work. What were the symptoms when it was used on the A8V and the A8N?
Paul, funny is that the voltage range is on this A8N-SLI auto and then the first step 2.60 and followed by 0.05V steps. On an other ASUS P4P800-E Delux it starts by 2.55V and followed by 0.1V steps. In other words why on the A8N-SLI is the lowest 2.60V and on an other 2.55V.

The purpose of testing with Prime95, is to cover the processor, memory, and Northbridge memory interface. In the case of the Athlon64, the memory controller is inside the processor, so the test coverage is even smaller, covering just the processor and memory. I suggested this test, to determine if the processor is at fault. It is not possible to test the motherboard ports, generally speaking, without buying some kind of PC test application.

And, in any case, such an application may not do a very thorough test. Ideally, you would want a box full of 'test dongles', devices that can connect to an I/O port and in conjunction with a testing application, give known results. Running 3DMark on the system, would extend test coverage to the video card, and do a bit more of that random access you are looking for. But first, I'd like to know if the processor is healthy, before extending the amount of hardware that the test is covering. I prefer free test applications, as most people can afford them.
You can also get a measure of your computer's health, by booting up a read-only Linux distro like Knoppix. That will tell you whether the PCI bus interface on your I/O chips is working or not, as you'll get all sorts of crazy error messages if the PCI bus is busted. I like to use Knoppix while attempting to overclock. There are probably other, smaller, distros that are suitable for doing the same thing. Click to expand.I did not try the Intel NIC on the A8V.
I have had problems with VIA chipsets before so I suspected it. The Intel NIC in PCI slot #2 would not allow the A8N to post. The Intel NIC in PCI slot #1 would post and boot WinXP SP2 but it would only work in 10 mbit mode. I did not disable the Marvell dual LAN in the BIOS setup though. I just noticed yesterday that you can do that.

So I will probably disable the Marvell dual LAN and try the Intel NIC again in a day or two. THanks, Lynn. Really makes one want to go back to Intel cpus. I did not try the Intel NIC on the A8V.

Why doesn't Apple enable SLI for OS X? I want to buy another 8800 GT, and run them in SLI mode in OS X. Unreal Tournament 3 is coming out, and if were lucky Crisis will come to the Mac too. It's an EA game.
