Sticky - very helpfull and organized Problems & Fixes Thread
Please keep 1st post updated lawrywild :)
I've been experiencing low internet speeds. I have a second computer connected to the same modem. Download speeds on that second computer, which is really, really old, have been awesome and much, much higher then my new system.
Out of the two Ethernet ports available, I need to use only one to connect to my cable modem.... does it make any difference which one i should use? Is there anything that could be affecting my Internet Speeds?
Thanks.
My internet connection runs flawless with the ethernet port below
You mean the colored one? The one which is with the USB port that you have to connect the remote to? I have my ethernet cable connected to the port on top... the one closer to Audio Ports, not the one below... maybe i should switch.Quote:

yes this one near the usb where asus say to plug the remote receiver
I used Cd drivers , haven't check if new ones released
I have an old Maxtor 41GB IDE, and 2 DVD Burners (Pioneer DVR-111D & Optorite). Should i connect the two DVD Burners to the JMicron Port and the Maxtor IDE to the Intel IDE Controller? My Pioneer DVR-111D is capable of burning 16X DVDs... will i be able to do that connected to the JMicron Controller? I know the Manual is wrong where it said that JMicron Controller doesn't support ATAPI... still i connected my IDE To JMicron and DVD Burners to Intel Controller for the fear that JMicron may not work properly with Burners.Quote:

AFAIK, it increases vmch selections
Use at your own risk!
Boot ROM was always left enabled but no go for UDMA on PATA ATAPI devices. zevia of CDFreaks also reported he did not have any UDMA trouble with his SATA Plextor DVD burner (ie. a SATA ATAPI device) with earlier BIOS like 0701. Unlike harddisks as in your IBM IDE, ATAPI support seems a afterthought to many manufacturers of drive controllers eg. Promise.Quote:

Any ideas on why SPD needs to be enabled over 360~ or so?
I had (2) problems:
1) Was not getting a restart after changing bios settings around 350~ FSB. It would sit at a black screen powered on. I still get this sometimes, but SPD seems to have "fixed" it so it actually reposts, just doesn't restart. But sometimes it does.
Even if I just change FSB, it sometimes does, sometimes not.
2) With manual timings at 1:1 354, 355, 356 (Wouldn't post past 356), Orthos/Sp/Prime would just freeze my pc. The strangest part is, no sounds, fans, or lights would change, but my mouse would turn off.
I tried using an old mouse and disabling USB legacy, etc, no change.
_______________________
All that said, I'm at 3.33, 1:1, (Stable), 1.4V Bios, Auto on all other voltages. Idle at 28-30, load at 44.
^^Not bad.
I really hope they can fix AIBooster, it's always showing as 163fsb (at 175 w/ PD805) and sometimes does the 255c temperature, as well as Asus Probe :( And I have to reset the computer if I wanna do on the fly voltage/fsb changes.
I'm running it with no problems. Even after the two cards are installed, I still have room for my sound card and there is still one PCI Express slot available.Quote:

I would really appriciate it! Thanx
Yep I have E6400 and E6700 ( actually running it )
My bios settings if could help you E6700@3.43 ghz
-FSb 343 mhz
-Vcore 1.4375 ( in bios 701 )
-Vdimm 2.2v
-Vfsb, Vich and Vmch auto
-PCI-e 105 mhz
-Path 3 disabled
-Ram throttle auto
-only microcode enabled ( C2T,EIST,Virtualisation all OFF )
-PEg heavier
-Ram settings manual at 858 mhz ( so 4:5 ) if I well remember ( cas 4 /4/3/12
I can now boot at 3.6 ghz ( 360 x 10 )under xp but not prime stable just superpi 32 and good score under aquamark 03 ( 20272 cpu score , I did compare to PcCI2iminal when he benched @3.6 ghz but 1:1 ratio and score about 19000 so I may think that running 4:5 is sweet too :D , P5W is very mem divider sensitive IMO though I met issues at 1:1 lol and others can't run it at 4:5 :confused: )
Could run E6400 at 3.1 ghz ( 375 x 8 ) stable
Think I have to go for WC if I want more and stable :)
But 3.43 ghz is a good deal IMO since I 'm still with air cooling
Hope it helps you :)
Edit: have to update my sig ;)
One question from meeee :)
Am I the only one that cant get the board booted by pressing "power-on" on the remote??
Thing is.... I run the gear openair untill Im over with testing it - and thereby has no power-on button, but use a shrewdriver to boot..
if you experience post lock up during detecting IDE devices, reset and put some USB storage OR change SATA HD to other socket
You must enable "Power on after Power off" option in the dh remote control panel in windows ;)Quote:

New 0903 'S3 resume' bug?
The BIOS fails to re-initialise the JMicron controller properly upon resume from S3 sleep causing the system to freeze periodically as it tries to reload the controller/devices attached to the JMicron.
Event viewer reports controller error or controller not ready error and "devices disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal" error from Plug and Play Manager.
Yeh, that's the one..Quote:

another problem if i oc then reboot alle is ok.
if i from windows power down or reboot it
restore to normal sppe and say oc fail LOL
nice i hope nvidia nforce 590 intel ver comes soon.
this problem:
Keyboard connected via a USB Hub. When system is shut down pressing the keyboard starts the PC. - No fix as of yet, Disabled PS2 Keyboard Startup does nothing to stop this.
i had something alike with my razor copperhead.
unplugging or striking a mousbutton started the pc.
Solved it by flashing from 0701 to 0903 bios.
Well, it would be nice (& polite) to read this whole thread regarding this issue. Pls read from post at no. 70 onwards before commenting more.Quote:

Hey, quick question; is there anyway to get a bios chip before I buy the board? The email contact us thing doesn't work because it requires S/N, etc. and I sure as hell arn't calling long distance from Toronto :/
Is there vdroop for that board?
Maybe easier to buy the cheapest, crappiest 775 Celeron there is then, for flashing.Quote:

But a guy told me yesterday the dept is only open from like 8am-5pm EST.
Want to call for me and get them to ship to my address? :pQuote:

Things i still havn't tried are removing my other 2 sata drives. enabling ACHI mode and IDE combined mode. Will try these soon.
Any other ideas?
Edit: have now tried ACHI, and ide combined modes. Still no joy
Has anyone come up with anything regarding the SPD @ 360~+ FSB?
I worked this thing for HOURS trying to get manual timings @ 380, no luck whatsoever. Just blackscreen, no restart. :mad:
can someone help me with this board and my problem ? see pic:

whenever I try to remove and of the conflicting items, the PC freezes, this same thing comes up even when I disable it in BIOS.
Maybe you have a usb hub connected to the Firewire on the mobo by accident.
At 375fsb I can run manual ok except when I set memory to 1000 in bios.Quote:

Might be related.
Have you updated to bios version 903 or 1101?Quote:

I also found out that depending on the SATA sockets you connect your hard drives , you get different POST times . The problem got worse when i manually configured one of my drives to be for example Disk 1 , so i could boot into my windows , while bios had it configured as Disk 3
Swapping / changing the SATA connectors of my HDs solved the problem
ok thanks will try that bios :stick:Quote:

When I shut down my XP, it restarts my computer, is this that "coldbug" i'm reading about? How can this be by design?!
I tried various combinations of sata drives plugged in now and no difference. Tested with 0801 0901 0903. not tried 1101 yet.Quote:

I'm currently dual Prime stable at 3.6Ghz (360x10) at 1.4250v (probably 1.38v actual according to PC Probe), specs in sig and stablity pic here
The only thing I've changed is disabling HyperPath 3, RAM throttling and EIST. All other frequencies or voltages besides the vCore. RAM timings are set as 4-4-4-12 which are the rated specs, the timings are NOT currently on SPD.
I tried moving up to 3.8Ghz by increasing the FSB to 380 and raising vCore, but even cranking it up to 1.520v ORTHOS crashes out after a few seconds.
Changing the RAM to SPD, vMCH to 1.6v, vDimm to 2.1v (max RAM is rated for I think) and vFSB to 1.4v made no difference at all. I haven't noticed any increase or decrease in stability from changing ANY other settings other than vCore. Memory is rated for at least 400 FSB so I don't think it's that which is causing the problem.
How can I know when I've hit an FSB wall on the motherboard, if none of the other settings (vMCH, vFSB, etc) seem to make any difference? Am I gonna have to stick this under my Vapo to know how much further it will go?
PC Probe warned me about the load temp when I started ORTHOS - which touched 62 degrees, so I'm reluctant to push the vCore much further on air cooling (Arctic Freezer 7 Pro, with the standard thermal pad attached).
Would appreciate any help anyone could give me....
run coretemp not asus probe, that'll scare you even more by showing you the REAL temperatureQuote:

Even though I'm prime stable I think I'm pretty close to the upper limit and want a little more guardband. I'll probably back FSB down to 375.
Whats a good safe Vcore limit for everyday use? (aircooling w/Scythe Infinity). Do I have any room above 1.5 V as long as CPU temp remains <40?
Alright guys. I got a new problem here.
P5W with a E6600
Doesn't matter what the cpu is clocked at. Stock or overclocked, cpu usage on one of the cores is always 6-8%. Always. This is on a fresh windows install with no programs running at all.
In windows task manager under Processes it shows Idle process 99%
But cpu usage on the one core is 6-8%
Any cures for this or has anyone else noticed this.
Click on the orange speaker beside the clock and disable dobly digital live. I had the same problem and its back to zero. Now I only turn it on when needed.Quote:

I can get the drive to work and show fine as 76gb, but when I run a HD tach this is showing as 80mbps - VERY slow. I also tried using the Intel RAID controller but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to have a single SATA for boot and a RAID drive as a gaming drive only.
Any advice would be appreciated :)
EDIT: BIOS 1101
For some reason the Asus P5W DH decides to turn itself on now without me touching the power on button. It spins all fans up to top speed then turns itself off!
After that I can hit the power button and it will come on as normal. Is this a bug or is my board going mental?
Im not happy at all about the motherboard temps (54c), and when I touch the NB/SB they are hot to touch. I havent even overclocked or gamed yet.

Seems like there is no way I can install the Firewire pilots correctly.
Have a look at my device manager it speaks for itself.
I tried with Firewire ENABLED and DISABLED in BIOS.
I tried uninstalling all of the devices in Device Manager and rebooting.. it just re-sets itself like that.
What can I do?
Holy crap. I just read through this whole thread. There are a LOT of friggin' unfixed, open issues with this board. Mine gets here Monday. I'm gonna be friggin' pissed if I made a mistake. I shoulda just kept the DS3 I think.
I'm VERY worried. Ugh. I cannot return this board either - NewEgg says exchange for replacement only.
Can always sell it, lots of people looking for them usually.Quote:

Yes its a known issue and its because the profile is stored in part of the jmicron's rom.
99% of "Problems" posted here are not really bugs or somethings, BUT only total amateurism of users ... This thred is only chaotic bunch of stupidity ...not serious "Fixes thred"
I have no serious problem with this MoBo, my E6600 runs @430FSB, and i have RAID0, Firewire ... everything OK, only ONE problem i have - crappy memory dividers ...so far ...
for it is the same as for OBR.
I've bought a 6400 Step6 Rev. B2, now running @ 3000 MHz with 1,36 VCore, MDT 2GB kit PC6400, and everything seems good.
And i'm using the so called buggy BIOS version 0701 ( the board comes with it ).

Upadate
Bios 1101 does not cure
Any USB device on the far right USB slots (looking at the back of the mobo components upwards) will start the computer if activated. I even tried my printer and turning that off started the PC.
Temporary Fix (thanks to lkraven for the idea)
Move all USB devices to the other pair of USB slots or use the motherboard headers. This has been tested and works.
Real pain due to the number of devices i have, but at least it is a fix.
The problem is the SB is concave. Only the tips of the corners will make contact with the HS. I ALWAYS lap my SB chips and will be doing it on my P5W DH Monday as soon as I get it. My DS3 SB kept very cool because of this.Quote:
