On Windows there is a program called CPUz which reports the operating frequency. On Linux I have only found one program which does this: powertop. All the other programs I have tried (top,...

What do you mean by 1707? And what is the latest ROM for your MOBO?
If I go to the latest ROM for my MOBO it says Windows only (2012.11.27). I upgraded to 2012.05.29 yesterday because that's the...

Codingman, my motherboard works fine for me now with Linux. Do you have a SSD only system? Have you updated your bios? If sow which version of the ROM did you use? The latest ROMs on the ASUS...

I just updated it. There is a utilty in the UEFI bios called "EZ Flash 2'. I download the bios on "2012.05.29" put it on a USB with fast32 format and rebooted. Went into the EZ Flash 2 bison and...

I have not updated the BIOS on this motherboard. Actually, I have never done that. Maybe I'll give it a try. But I'm a bit afraid to try anything now that this system is finally working.
I don't...

You can see my original post over a year ago here (this thread I started was my second post not first). This system with "ASUS LPCIe 3.0 and UEFI BIOS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3" would not even boot without...

I'm thinking of getting a X51 alienware with ubuntu. The problem is the video card is rather weak. But there are a lot of vidoes of people putting 670s and even 680s in the X51....

Thanks for the help OldFred!!! My system is mostly working now. I still don't have the wifi up but I'm going to buy a ethernet cable today and use that until I work out the wifi issues.

I believe EFI is still being used. BootRepair just fixed it. If I had my wireless working on this system I would post the output. If I look in /boot I see a "efi" and "grub" directory. In efi is...

It works fine with Universal USB Installer in Windows though. Also Kubuntu 13.04 install to USB and boots fine with unetbootin. It's a bit ironic that I need to use Windows to install Ubuntu 13.04...

Strange, kubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso installs and boots just fine on my USB. I tried ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso again just to make sure and it still fails to boot.
