It will be flashed. I am still willing to hotflash for you if it is worth the shipping costs. I will do it for free for you just pay the shipping...Quote:

They should send it with the latest non beta bios so I would say possibly 2004 or maybe one higher but your system will boot. Just go get the chip hotflashed in the same MOBO and do not worry about another chip... Just use AFUDOS in the future and you will be good to go... From now on do not use any custom bios unless you have a backup chip to play with...
Which procedure would i take to revert back to my original BIOS version.
As newer versions i have downloaded have failed to disable onboard sound.
c
older verion of afudos 2.11 or something there abouts and its work greatQuote:

i made a boot disk and booted to that then put in the afudos disk with bios make sure you name it p5wdh.rom then type in afudos /ip5wdh.rom hit enter and flash i flashed back to 2004 my selfQuote:

Never ever use Asus Windows update for this board.. There is a serious flaw and you risk wiping your bios chip and ending up with a black screen.Quote:

What 'flaw'. Details please.
I use AU on 2 boards, never encountered any flaw. Maybe people forget to reset BIOS to defaults before updating (which is i believe recommended)?
Defaults means nothing, tried it still screw my chip, I used Asus update on every other Asus mobo I have ever owned and that is at least 6, Asus update will kill the bios chip on this board, read the posts in this thread. Tis FLAWED...
If you care to use this to flash go for it, but when you corrupt your bios do not say i did not say I told you so...
More here and prob one of the best posts on this board I have yet to find:

I steel can't reach 415 fsb
I tried everything
set voltages to high leve
lowered multipiler
lowered Ram frequancy
steel nothing
it means that mobo is blocking 415 fsb
how do people pass the 415 fsb limit? :(
What size fan fits nice on the NB heatsink? I'm going to remove the cover and put one on there. I'm guessing a 40mm fan is the right size?
Correct - 40mm fan will fit nice on the NB
i also put one on my south bridge brings mb temp down below cpuQuote:

Looking for a decent replacement SB heatsink that will fit (using the original on another motherboard). Going to try the EnzoTech SB heatsink - will require a bit of modding to fit though as the hole distance is not quite short enough. At least it's another chance to use the new Dremel :p:
Currently using the HR-05 SLi, but it's overkill and not the best-looking.
mine dont look good just works good :yepp:
Hi,
I tried to flash bios by afudos with parameters:and there was only the message:Quote:
afudos /i.....rom /p /b /n /n /reboot
What is wrong? :confused:Quote:
USAGE: afudos /i<ROM filename> [/o<save ROM filename>]
all you need is afudos /ip5wdh.rom hope this works for you if not get afudos v2.11
"would not use the /pb if I were you... it reflashes the boot block. This is normally read-only and is where the "Crash Free BIOS" code resides. If you flash with /pb and have a failure, you will not be able to recover (this happened to me :( ).
The only time the boot block needs updating is when there are changes to the boot clock code. This is pretty rare and ASUS usually provide an update exe file."
I think I wiped my boot block clean... Anyone have this for me a clean complete image of an entire bios, I do not care which version with a boot block or how to program it back to virgin?
This board is good? P5W DH ?? I wold like to buy one... it's cheap... it's a good motherboard or not ?
I love this board.
I don't overclock, but this board is very fast with a Core2duo processor.
And have a lot of features on board.
I would like an additional Intel PATA connector and some additional Intel Sata connectors (2 or 3).
My previous motherboard was the Asus P5WD2 Premium and had more connections for harddrive.
I use on my P5W DH 2 Papst 412/2 fans on my north and southbridge.
Their are very silent, but cools very well.
Only the pricetag is some negative.
