The other more important problem is the random frame drops in almost all of my video games. Swat 4, crysis, call of duty, almost all of them. The game will run very smooth and then all of a sudden it will drop down to 0-1fps for a second and then go right back up, this happens every minute or so and it is driving me crazy, All my temperatures are good, the graphics card drivers are up to date I have tried virtually every component in another computer with an MSI board and it works fine. Even on a differnt asus crosshair board I have the issue and it seems many with ASUS boards do. I have been an asus customer time and time again despite the many issues i run into but this may be the last time if i can not get this resolved.
