Try using an older version (v6...) of AsusUpdate while @ stock clocks.

I had an older but it said something about boot block.

Had this issue yesterday
Grab Asus Update 6.?, I used 6.0 Beta, it allowed me to flash from 902 to 802

I know I know, AsusUpdate sucks, but in this case, it seems to be the best solution.

Just make sure you minimise the chances of it locking or crashing by running EVERYTHING @ stock!

Owki I´ll give it a try.
I also downloaded afudos 2.11, 2.17, 2.19, 2.21 to check if any of those work.

thanks for the info. are you noticing any performance increases with ram at 600MHz over, lets say 300-400MHZ?

has anyone here used the software the board came with ? Is the power button on the board handy ?

The power button is very handy. If however it feels like it's not working, hold it down or put a little more pressure than you'd normally require and it'll work. I think it's like a safety feature to not knock it and power on/off.

I just tried to install AsusUpdate v6.xxxx on Vista64 but it couldnt install it.

Afudos /i*.rom /n (you can also add /pbnc to take care of clearing cmos and such)

So: Afudos /i*.rom /n /pbnc

Hope this helps.

2.17 is a monster, but with this bios, it struggles and passes out :D

Despite me ranting that my Prelude is working fine in the top PCI slot, this has happened while I have been out at work today. I have no clue to why or how but its now not working. I haven't done anything different!

WTF!!!!!!

Is it a bios setting or what are you guys doing different to get sound card working in top slot ?
i didn't install the asus sound card, so do i have to disable anything apart from onboard sound in bios ?

Yes, especially in benchmarks. The increased bandwidth is definitely noticeable.
