I suspect that this box is the same except for BIOS.... if we could get the BIOS for this box it would be like a free upgrade... I dont own the box any more but hopefully someone can get the BIOS and then someone will flash it

If i play a game or run furmark, Wintel W8 shuts off within a minute...

Well, someone tried to connect a external 2.5" hard drive disk in one of two Wintel CX-W8 usb port sucessfully ?

Both usb ports hasn't energy enough to start the external HDD.

Someone had the same problem ?

Some solution ?

[regirj]

Did someone try to connect a external HDD successfully ?

I have an unpowered USB hub that plugs into both USB ports that has a DVB-T2 tuner, RF dongle for my remote and an RF dongle for my mouse and I plugged in a 2.5" USB 3.0 1TB HDD and it powered up fine.

[regirj]

I don't know why, but my Wintel don't power up my external USB 2.5" HDD.
I think it is because I had load default cmos in bios.
could you post pictures of your bios settings ?
I think that the power session is enough
thanx for all.

dinosauria, let me see, this released firmware of W8 is not compatible with cx-w8, all right ?

[regirj]

First of all my Wintel CX-W8 was turning off because overheat at 90 degrees, after make some holes and put a 5v fan It keeps at 55 degrees.
Now when I try to connect a external USB HDD my Wintel just power off.
Does someone has the same problem ?
It is making me crazy !!!!!
Please, help me !!!!!

regiri,

I think so. I have bricked a W8 by flashing CX-W8 bios. Windows8.1 image is may be useable, but BIOS and Android image is not useable on CX-W8.
