Ok who stole his LAN option?Did you try to clear the cmos or load factory defaults in the bios?Hope it shows up for you.It could be possible that the lan has shorted out.Quote:

I think I will rma it for a commando,as there is no solution...

Boot to xp and check Device Manager. If you can't see the LAN, Go to View menu and select Show hidden devices. Try to uninstall the LAN driver (right click). I never could uninstall mine, I kept getting a "hardware is required to boot can not uninstall" error message.
Unplug the LAN connection. I think this was the key for me.
Unplug the power cord from the PSU. With the PSU switch still ON(1), hit the pc power button (discharge the capacitors). Plug power cord back in to the PSU.
Turn pc on and enter the BIOS.
Load the BIOS optimized defaults.
Save and reboot. Enter BIOS and check for the LAN option.
Plug the LAN connection back in.
You may need to reload the LAN Drivers.
Hope this works for you. If, not RMA time.

Anyway,I tried following your instructions but still dead..
Thx for your help...
Reaper...that's mental!...a missing bios option, try this...boot from the backup bios, it's very possible the main bios has been corrupted.
Once you boot from the backup and confirm the LAN option is present then re-flash the main bios again.
If that fails or if the backup bios is also missing the LAN option then you have a serious problem, it could mean the Marvell chip is dead.
On a side note...is anyone going to go Vista today?...thinking about Vista Ultimate, but at €579 it's complete lunacy!
Got Vista Ultimate x64 about 2 weeks ago.
:eek: this is SHOCKING!, i just bought Windows Vista Ultimate (retail) for the small (sic) sum of €549, so i call Microsoft only to discover that i only get 90 DAYS technical support from Microsoft???????
90 days....what, 90 days????, in Europe is STANDARD proceadure to offer a minimum of 1 year techinal support, can anyone explain what the HELL are thinking?
I didn't break the seal on the box and am taking it back.
Richard..... If you have to call MS for support, you might want to take it back anyway.I don't think in the last 12 years that I ever called MS for OS support. Come to think of it, I don't know anyone who has called them for OS support.
Cold...i get that, but it's not really my point. It's not about being savvy...it's about spending €550 on software that only has 90 days tech support, it's a scandal!
To me it suggests the OS is very flawed and buggy (and note there are ALREADY some 26 patches listed on the Microsoft website on the day of release). I've never called M$ for support...but that isn't the point.
It's a brand new OS and bound to be bugs, and no doubt people will encouter problems, as such 90 days is not sufficient. It should be a minimum of 1 year, add to this M$ tell me after 90 days i must pay €75 per incident/call...wtf?
ALREADY is actually more like 3 months... since it was released to business's a few months backQuote:

So anyway Back to the bios topic.......
Hi,
I have bad feeling about this Bios F10. Since I am with E6300 - no sense for me with this Kentsfield support. F7 is different. What makes it different? See: http://rone.data.bg/Pictures/Capture_18.jpg
That in not possible with F10 on my 965 DS3 mobo.
Well, I got my memory to run at 4-4-3-5 at 500mhz. I can get to 516mhz, but it isn't stable by any means. I've looked into better memory, but I think this is the best I'm gonna be able to get with this speed and timing. Unless I get som c3 6400, but I like G.Skill and I can't find any with those timings by them. Any 2gb kits with 3-3-3-10 timings @ 400mzh?Quote:

I've been following this thread since the beginning and I think that if I had to sum it all up F8i would be the most likely candidate to give you some acceptable results/stability on a DS3. Haven't been able to get my mem. over 1025 without crapping out. Now doing 410*8 with a 5/4 mem. divider. Would like to go higher, but dunno if i'm having any of the bug/hardware issues that were mentioned in this thread like the d9 stuff. I feel like i'm gaining more speed with higher mem. settings instead of higher FSB settings. I measure with Aida32. My specs in a nutshell are: GA-965P-DS3, intel e6600, Corsair Twin2x2048-8500C5, ASUS EN8800GTX, 480W PSU.Quote:

Can 3x1GB module runs at Dual-Channel on 965P chipset?
I saw interesting thing in intel website :
SourceQuote:
Intel® Flex Memory Technology
Gives users a more flexible memory upgrade option by allowing different memory sizes to be installed while maintaining dual-channel mode/performance.
if it be correct I will buy another 1GB module and upgrade my memory from 2x1GB to 3x1GB because according Anand Vista runs smoothly on 3GB memory or higher
DQ6/DS4/DS3/DS3P etc. Rev 3.3 listed now on GB website, Rev 3.3 has a new manual.

Today I made same experiments with F10 Bios on 965P DS3 mobo. It seems that there is some kind of instability when board work in dual canal mode. I have 2 RAM modules, both capable to work error free on 1180MHz (DDR2) in single canal mode. With same settings they can only reach 1000MHz in dual canal. I noticed that system didn't restarts properly and even when it is 100% stable it can not be restarted. There is no exact stability border like in single canal mode. I had to make lots of CMOS CLR when experimenting.
Agh, looks like my rev2 might have ate my d9's completely. It's running f10. I was making some changes here and there, but mostly in the conservative direction. The last setting I tried to make was 400 1:1 5-5-5-15 normal memory, 2.1v. Haven't seen a post in over 7 hours now. This rev2 in the past tended to rebound from these problems better than the rev1 I had. But this time it was tragic. I pulled a stick of ram. Reset the cmos. Still no dice. Pulled the other stick. It beeps. Ok... so at least it's working enough to be able to beep memory error. Put the other stick in and try again. Nada. Computer just goes up and down and up and down, unless I hold the reset switch. Then it sticks on but doesn't do anything.
I powered the thing off for the night, but now it's morning and still no go. I've had just about all I can take. It's too bad I'm past my 30 days or else I'd rma the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of this thing. Maybe I'll follow dnottis and pickup a p5b.
Sometimes the EIST settings are gone on my ds3. Not that I really need them, but it's a little bit stange.Quote:

is it possible to remove the NB heatsink in a rev 1 without destroying it? i can only remove by breaking the plastic legs it seems, but all i want to do is apply as5 then re-use it with a fan. if i pull hard enough maybe it will pop out without breaking, anyone remove without breaking it? rev 2 a better heat sink and runs much cooler, still put a fan on it though.
I noticed that too.Quote:
