Folks,
I've been seeing a lot of people with common problems posting lately. Rather than reply to all of you, here are some tips on KNOWN issues with the G400:
1. On ASUS BX boards, you will probably need to disable ECC checking on your memory. Whether or not you have ECC memory may not be the issue here. Just turn off the checking.
2. On ABIT BH6 boards, and maybe on others, cheap monitors will kill your system. More specifically, the DDC on the monitor will. So change the type of monitor from PNP monitor or the monitor's real type to one of the generic types, like "1024x768x75hz" or "Standard Monitor". Then use the PowerDesk controls to adjust it later. This fixes snow, crashing, garbage on the screen, and spontaneous reboots, if you can believe it!
3. Socket 7 Motherboards my simply NOT WORK with the G400. Make sure you have the latest drivers, BIOS, and AGP Gart for your board before even asking a question here.
In all of the above cases, be prepared that you may have to eventually do a complete reinstall of your machine, it may be the only way to solve your problem in the long run.
Feel free to post any specific, reproducable issues onto this thread.
DON'T add to this thread with your own specific problems. I want it to be a first-step help to people.

It wasn't always like this... I had a real life once. A signature, too. I used to be a guy named Gurm. But that's all gone now. Now, my name is Ash... and I am a slave.

Specs? You want specs? Yeah. Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up. See this? This is my boomstick! It's a twelve gauge double barreled Remington, S-Mart's top-of-the-line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop Smart. Shop S-mart. Ya got that?! Now I swear, the next one of you primates, even touches me...
