I have an Asus K8N-E motherboard which does not seem to support booting from USB. Any suggestions?

SoundMax ADI1986A Audio Driver V5.12.1.5430 for Windows 2000/XP/2003

change battery out battery wnt bad and also replace fuse if battery went bad fuse did to but make sure when you get battery it is higher wattage then your old one.

ASUS K8N Motherboard support: -
2 x Serial ATA cables - 2 x UltraDMA 133/100/66/33
1 x 2-port SATA power cables - 2 x Serial ATA, support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, JBOD

Your mainboard support both "IDE & SATA" interface, so you can use IDE or SATA Hard Drives.

Hope it helps.

Hi, try this link for your drivers:

85 to 95 is ok. Anything higher than100 is pushing it. If possible add a fan to the side of the system case (Best choice) or you can buy a south bridge fan. You're MB doesn't have holes in the MB to attach a chipset fan but you can still attach a cooler on to the chipset. Like this fan; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103155
And you'll need this as well for a good bond; http://www.outletpc.com/c2019.html

pls try to replace the memory...

Have you tried just using the drivers straight from the manufacter? Also make sure you have SP1 installed.

Try Hirens Boot CD. It has a lot of programs on it to detect format etc.
I think your hard drive has a missing or corrupt MBR and it needs to be replaced.
When I have had a hard dive not recognized I hve used Super Fdisk to format and reset hard drive.
On the boot disk

Try going to the Asus website and look for support for your MB drivers and Operating System.

If there is no longer any Win98 support for your MB then I suggest a fresh computer and more recent software for less hassle!
A ten year old OS indicates to me that you might be stuck until you go with the flow!
Cruel but true.
Hopefully the recent cheap prices for computers pre-installed with Vista or XP will persuade you.

first check the specs according to the manual of your ram memory. is this complies rom the manual? did you installed video card? if you installed video card then temporarily remove this and use the on board. if still doesn't boot the ram memory is the problem. there are diferent kinds of beep sound according to hardware problem we have the long beep, a continous beep and so on.
