lol, not a total n00b, but thnx for the heads up on the BIOS 2001, i'll give that a shot.
Cheers
EDIT:
Flashing back from bios 2001 using AsusUpdate is a no-go:

I'll give EZFlash a try quick.
EDIT #2:
EZ Flash is also shaking it's head at me :nono:
So Asus have decided to make it impossible to go back from bios 1901?
Use afudos 2.11 like BenchZowner said. If that doesn't work try afudos 2.17. I know for a fact that 2.17 works because I used it to flash back from 1901 to 1707.
This question has been asked a lot lately. I suggest folks read or at least search the thread before posting.
Yep, that worked, thanks for your help :)
Hi, motherboard died last night RIP. Sending it back to www.overclockers.co.uk today...

Good luck getting a quick rma from ocuk o.O
PS: People using 4x1GB ram.. did any of your oc's drop from 2x1GB? or did you just need to bump vmch a little?
I had to up de memory voltage with 0.1V (Titanium Alpha VX2 form 2.2V to 2.3V 4-4-4-15) but there seemed to be no need to up vmch (1.55V/400MHz/1:1)Quote:

One more with fsb problems.I had about 5 mobos DH.Yeap 5!:p:
The last one is with X6800 and cannot increase fsb unless i use high vcore.About 1.7 for 395fsb.If i use clockgen it reaches 450 for sure.I don't blame asus for this because i had AW9D-Max before with same issues.So it should be the cpu.
This problem diasappeared when i used single SS.I'll try with DH and i'll post my results..
I have an external USB HDD and it takes a lot of time to find it when booting.Does anyone know a way to fix this?:rolleyes:
Hi m8, keep in mind that when the motherboard POSTs, its using the default CPU Multiplier ( 11x ) and then switches to the selected multiplier ( just in case ).Quote:

This happens even with the unlocked cpus like X6800?Moreover both mobos work with the same way?I've never had this issue with 6600,6700 i had tried before.So maybe you're right..;)Quote:

Usually it requires me to reboot my computer and it takes literally like at least 5 minutes just to shut down to reboot. And sometimes it gives me a Microsoft has recovered from a serious error crap. Any ideas? Only problem I see is my internet stops working, although its not actually my connection that is the problem.
LOL, you can say that again! 59 days for all the bits and pieces to individually arrive, as it seemed that they sold the box and accessories i'd sent with it. :mad: I had to threaten legal action before they actually did anything helpful.Quote:

Hi, never had any issues with OC before, and I've spent thousands with them. All companies will mess up some time in their business dealings, doesn't necessarily make them bad, only human. We're still with Asus despite their failings in service support, getting us a usable bios and the rest....
Must have used the wrong kinda dog poo, with my MB :slapass:

I supposed you havn't seen that the owner of ocuk is openly racist on the forums?Quote:

Hi nickfd,
This is exactly what I was discussing in another forum! But, hey! 65C isn't too much for this chip?!
Someone suggest me this link: http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm (roll the page and you find an Intel Core 2 Duo table). As indicated in the tables, the max core temp for an E6600 is 60.1°C!
In my case, I can go over 390 FSB maintaining something between 40C idle and 60C FULL. I can push a bit more, but from here every notch in vcore grow my temps geometrically! So, I'm trying to stay in a "safe side", lowering my OC a bit (380 actually) and keeping my temps under control.
So, I ask you again: is safe to run an E6600 in 65C, even 60C?
Thank you

Alex, from all the threads that I've read on multiple forums, everyone said that being in the 60s is safe. It's when you are in the 70s that you begin to lose life on your chip. If you look in CoreTemp, the Junction temperature is 85c, which is basically the melting point..Quote:

1) o.k. i'm digging a little deeper in and I see that 32 bit data transfer is disabled on the HDD, it is a SATA 16mb. 400 Gb. seagate.
IT DID FORGET ABOUT THE RAID SETUP, I FIXED IT AND IT BOOTED RIGHT UP, SWEET!
After systematically loosing stability on my system the machine is now acting very strange. I can only boot if my memory is at 4:5 which makes it 875mhz (higher than chipset rating) and volts maxed out at 2.4v. If I try to lower the voltage at all the system chashes when it enters windows. At these settings it runs fine and passes ORthos for over 10-20 hours depending on the day but it used to be rock solid stable a few weeks ago.
I've even tried to boot at a lower FSB and even stock and no go. The system simply errors out like crazy or restarts unless my memory voltage is 2.4. What's going on?
Anybody, help please.:help:
I am having problems making DVD or CD disks with my Pioneer DVD/CD burner. My Plextor PlexWriter CD burner works fine. What is problem with the Pioneer burner not working? Some files come through ok and some are corrupt: audio missing in movies, etc. Is there a fix? In properties, unit is using Microsoft driver. Should I be getting one from Pioneer? Is there one?
Thank you for any help.
Any similarities with these posts?Quote:

So all users with 6800 always increase fsb by windows?:confused:Quote:
