Hello,
P4 3.0 ghz
asus c800-e deluxe-usb except keyboard disabled,ht off.
1 gb ram
1 80 gb hd
1 160 gb sata hd
scope 4.0

Computer works fine,untill I open Cubase sx 2.After couple minutes,freeze.I think it have something to do with midi and rewire(reason).

I have this configuration for 6 months,and I can't get it to work properly.If there is no help,I will buy another motherboard,because this asus motherboard is SHAME.

Thanks,
Regards

does your keyboard controller transmit active sensing? if so, you will have to turn it off or filter it. use the midi monitor in scope to see what is being transmitted. the other thing to check for is a midi feedback loop, especially involving midi clock.

Here are my IRQ setup:

IRQ 0 System timer OK
IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock OK
IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System OK
IRQ 10 MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device OK
IRQ 11 Intel(R) 82801EB SMBus Controller - 24D3 OK
IRQ 12 Microsoft PS/2 Mouse OK
IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK
IRQ 14 Primary IDE Channel OK
IRQ 15 Secondary IDE Channel OK
IRQ 16 NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X OK
IRQ 16 Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - 24D2 OK
IRQ 18 Intel(R) 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controllers OK
IRQ 23 Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller OK
IRQ 23 Creamware DSP-Board OK

How to avoid IRQ sharing?
Here what I have in CONFLICT/SHARING option:

I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 PCI bus
I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 Direct memory access controller

I/O Port 0x000003C0-0x000003DF Intel(R) 82875P Processor to AGP Controller - 2579
I/O Port 0x000003C0-0x000003DF NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

IRQ 23 Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
IRQ 23 Creamware DSP-Board

IRQ 16 NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
IRQ 16 Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - 24D2

Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF PCI bus
Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF Intel(R) 82875P Processor to AGP Controller - 2579
Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

I/O Port 0x000003B0-0x000003BB Intel(R) 82875P Processor to AGP Controller - 2579
I/O Port 0x000003B0-0x000003BB NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

What is my problem on this machine?
Thanks,

I reinstalled everything from scratch....AGAIN!...and now I turned it to standard pc mode,I must say that in that mode my computer is a bit slower(I think)...
Strange thing that in standard pc mode my motherboard midi input is recognized as "OTHER INPUT",not midi input,and there is no driver for that "other input"on my motherboard cd...on other side,in acpi mode everything is great.
I think I will turn back to acpi mode..
But then I have freezes..

Thanks...regards

Try moving the Creamware board to PCI slot 1 or 5. That will stop the IRQ sharing.
ACPI is fine with that ASUS mboard.
