All of them, this was a fresh install of win8 pro.
post #2082 of 2843
Then I would say its the Headset driver that is causing this and not the mobo. Does your headset have a win8 driver or are you using the win7 driver?
post #2083 of 2843
the headset uses the cm-108 chipset so i am using the genius Cavimanus drivers. I used there win7 driver as well, they have a win 8 driver that i am using, have't tried it with the win7 driver on win8.

Also must install the intel usb driver in compatibility mode.

Yeah done all of this and nothing! Spent a whole two days wracking my brain over it, scouring the internet and nothing.. Hoping someone here will be able to help!

I think your 560ti is faulty. You can test in another machine to confirm or try to open a thread in the Nvidia Graphic section for more exposure and help:

Must invest in a better cooler. BF3 running on ultra, my 3570k runs at 62 deg under load. Want to get it down to at least low 50's where my sandy used to run.

Guys, do I have to tweak the BIOS for optimal performance or are the default settings good enough?

The only thing I changed is Load XMP Setting from Auto to Profile 1 because when set to Auto, the RAM ran at 1600 instead of 1866.

Also, my BIOS version is 1.40 while the latest version is 2.40. Since the system seems to be running fine, would it still be wise to upgrade it and if so, can I just skip to the latest update?


And one more thing - I had to open the case yesterday just to check something out and as I was carrying it back to my desk, I accidentally pushed the Clear CMOS button on the back. Is that something that's safe to push or could it somehow damage my computer? I know I'm a little paranoid but it's a brand new computer and I don't want to screw anything up.

Default is perfectly fine since you don't seem to wanna overclock nor have an SSD.

No need to update your Bios if its stable. Bios updates improve/resolve compatibility issues (& sometimes better oc'ing). My Bios is 1.8 and I haven't changed it.

Pushing Clear CMOS is fine (computer was off right?) but you might have to enable XMP profile again for your memory.

Yeah, the computer was off and unplugged and I did have to re-enable the XMP profile.

Just out of curiosity, what would happen if I pushed the button while the computer was on?



Thanks for your help!
