Anyone using a ZBoard USB with a Conroe CPU?

[shaithis]

Can't get ZBoard software to work after switching CPU from a Pentium D to a Conroe.......even bought a new ZBoard to test

Be interested to here from anyone who has a conroe and a zboard........

[pands@scan]

hmm interesting

Tried contacting Zboard to see what they think?

Thats a strange one

Strange :\ I take it you're using the same motherboard (and BIOS revision?) that the Pentium D was being used in?

[shaithis]

I didn't beleive it at first as I could not come up with any reason as to why......hense I bought a new one.

Nothing else changed in the PC, just the CPU (and a BIOS update now I think of it, nice reminder thanks )....I would switch the other CPU back in but the TT Big Typhoon is damn fiddly to get on/off.

Done a lot of goggle searches and cannot find anyone anywhere running a Zboard with a conroe

Have opened a ticked with Ideazon but its been very quiet from them, plus a post on their forums has not found anyone else with a ZBoard + conroe.

Its either the BIOS update or the CPU (or a combination of the 2)....I might try going back to previous BIOS tonight and see what the results are.

are legacy USB devices in the BIOS enabled or disabled?

[shaithis]

Keyboard enabled, mouse disabled.

Been like this from day 1 of the build to be able to get into the BIOS.


The other 'oddity' is that uninstalling the zboard drivers has around a 1-in-2 chance of hardlocking windows =/ Yet system is completly stable running everything from Photoshop to my 5 hour raid stints in World of Warcraft....
