P4C800 + dothan bios probs

[kristos]

I'm getting no response in other threads so I'll just make my own topic:



I have a p4c800 (non e non deluxe) here and the 10001 bios doesn't work for me:


First off, although the sticky says you don't need the bootblock trick, i did need it since it didn't' want to flash because off the non-matching romid.

flashed first time with afudos 116 with /n /pbnc command. when the flash is finished, it asks to reboot and when I do, everything spins up but I get no visual.

I flashed again with the latest afudos. it reboots fine... once. then i have the same problem.
when i reset the bios, it boots but again, just once. when I select load defaults and continue, it reboots but same problem: no visual.




now I've done the same thing with the latest beta bios for the P4C800 (1021b_04) and this bios seems fine apart from 1 rather anoying thing: it shuts down instantly when I reboot be it by shorting the pins or CTRL+ALT+DEL.
also, I get this really odd "language" if you can call it that when I insert my windows cd: http://img282.imageshack.us/img282/2558/img05045wf.jpg



both biosses also gave me random discolored bios screens (usually appleblueseagreen boot screen instead of black and brown bios screen instead of blue)

Tried this (http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=66406) bios?

I tried the one from Bigtoe's post (P4C800-E-ASUS-Deluxe-10001) it's a 1023 beta bios. there's a 1023ed01 beta bios on the german asus ftp wich I didn't try yet but I suspect this is the same bios as that 10001.

I have the same board as you (bog standard p4c800 with none of the frills) & the problem is the same for me.. boots once then after setting options & saving I get no display etc.. Have to reset with jumper & start again.

Have you made any progress getting a decent bios ?

Sorry for the (very) late response but I've been playing WoW and haven't been overclocking anymore since ^^

anyways, I still use the P4C800 1021b_04 bios. only real prob with it is that it just shuts down instead of rebooting. no biggy really.

Don't know if this helps, but I'm on a P4C800ED, with 1023 beta bios and PM740. Still setting up the system.

In the bios, there is a section for power and you can select either SOFT SHUTDOWN or HARD SHUTDOWN. You also may have wired the power button or reset button incorrectly. Double check that.

i used the 1021d.04 without problems, with my ct479.
