Help! I have been running for months with the system in my sig. Other than 3 rma bouts with my Ballistix all has been well. Tuesday night I started having trouble getting out of sleep mode, took a hard reboot. Last night it wouldn't come back at all but it was late so I didn't check what could be the cause, just figured it was the Ballistix again. I was so sure I even ordered up some Gskill this AM from the Egg. Whan I got home tonight I started looking for the offending stick. Last night when I tried I noticed that the bios had been reset. On trying to boot tonight I reset the bios but it would hang on the reboot. It did this with all 4 sticks one at a time. The error code at the hang is E4. I finally found that the code is for bios corruption (I think). So I pulled tha battery and rset the thing for 30 minutes and it still hung at E4. I went back to bios and changed the vdimm from Auto to 2.2v and for whatever reason it finally booted up. I put in another stick of ram and that booted fine as well. It is late and I am going to stop for the night. I will try adding the other 2 sticks and redoing my o/c tomorrow. What caused this episode and what the he** is an E4 code anyway? I really don't want to deal with this again.
has anyone gotten the ip35 pro with a q9450 to 4ghz stable?

Thanks Ace. I couldn't find the manual last night, I really need to straighten up a bit. I wonder why after almost a year it all at once wants more juice? It has been solid at 3.6 with 1.4325v in bios all that time. This is puzzling :shrug:Quote:

I was working with a wireless gaming adapter on the Tuesday when I started having the problems. I needed to plug in an additional network cable to the second nic and was leaning over the top of the case reaching over the back to plug it in. I had hit the k/b PS2 cable and was trying to plug it back in, kinda feeling around for the hole. Could I have hit the BIOS reset switch an moved it just a bit. Could that have caused a BIOS corruption, which seems to be what I had?
Has anybody else found that 17 B04 disables Virtualization?
Unlikely. You can't set the VTT high enough to do so. And tbh even if you could it would probably be beyond safe levels for the Q9450.Quote:

It is using bios 16 and I'm using Q6600 B3.
Tuniq Tower is hooked up to CPU fan header.
One other fan are hooked up to Aux header.
1. Coretemp shows all 4 cores at 44 degreed right now.
But Abit uGuru shows it all at 59 degrees. Why such big diff?
It showed far less difference with Bios14 I believe. But B16 made it huge..
So if I try to change the FanEQ cpu temp values, I can't as it won't allow such high values to be set.
2. When I do a soft reboot, fan headers stop working under FanEQ.
So they don't speed up even when the CPU is under load..... Just runs at minimum speed.
But if I shut down my pc and also turn off my PSU then back on, it works.
So every time I reboot, I have to cut power from the mains so my motherboard gets no power for a while....
I've had this issue with original bios, bios 14 and now 16... Any one have this issue also?
This one is a known issue with BIOS v.16. It was tailor-made for 45nm CPUs and 65nm ones read incorrectly. IMHO, v.14 is the one to go with if you have a 65nm CPU.Quote:

The board will lose control of it occasionally and cause it to run full speed all the time. When that happens, it's necessary to power down, remove power and hit the power button (to discharge capacitors). After that, you can power back up and it'll regain control of the 3-pin fan. Your particular issue I can't recall seeing before though. Tried a nice, deep CMOS reset? Like so:Quote:

- Place the jumper back in the normal position.
- Restore power and boot up immediately into BIOS.
- Select "Load Optimized Defaults" and set the recommended voltage for your RAM
- Save & exit.
- On reboot, go directly into BIOS and set the recommended timings for your RAM and any other options you'd like to set (i.e. boot order, etc.).
hokiealumnus - Hmm. I might then go back to Bios14 as it does get annoying seeing such high temps. =)
Also, yes, mine also does sometimes get stuck running at MAX fan speed as well. And I do need to shut down, cut power, empty capacitors then power it back up. Is this "only" for the CPU header? or is it for all headers? Hmm. So this is a known issue. But yeah. Mine suddnely also started doing the opposite also where it will get stuck in low speed and won't speed up when when max temp is reached. =P
Yea; the one I referenced is only on the CPU header. To rid themselves completely of that one, some took their 3-pin CPU fan and put it on the SYS header. The other option is of course to get a 4-pin fan for the CPU.Quote:

So far I just have an IDE NEC DVD writer in slave, along with an IDE 80GB Seagate in Master, and no SATA devices. The DVD shows up in the list of bootable options (I set it to 1st), but the HDD does not appear to spin up or be recognized as a device, not to mention a bootable device. I selected 'hard drive' as the second boot option. It has XP installed from the previous PC. I thought it would at least boot into Safe Mode, but no luck.
When I place the XP disc in the optical drive it hangs while installing files.
Is it possible the IDE HDD is not being recognized because I've mis-set something in BIOS? Where do I read what BIOS version i have?
some of the IDE drives have a single drive jumper...you need to make sure you have that 80g ide drive set up as the primary drive...usually the easiest thing to do is set the drive and NEC DVD drive to CS (cable select) mode...then, primary and slave is selected by which cable plug is plugged into the IDE drive.
Wal, that was it, sort of, the DVD was set to Master. I set it to Cable Select and now the HDD shows up. Thanks.
Now for more fun...
Anyone have any recommendations to bringing up my ram speed? I have 1066MHz memory and it's running at 800MHz. Is it just as simple as changing the divider? If so what's a good recommendation for my ram?
It's looking like 3.2GHz (8x400) at Vcore=1.45 is sorta kinda stable.
the USB bus works well with a Flash drive, but won't recognize my Trendnet wireless adapter, so I can't access the internet.
Any ideas to get the TEW-24UB to work with the USB connection?
You'll need to do set the ratio to 1:1.5 and overclock a bit by raising the FSB to 356. Should be an easy OC for your E8400. Of course you won't be able to do any of this without raising Vdimm to the manufacturer's recommended value.Quote:

I have had mine set to 63% all along. If I wanted to play with it to increase my OC, would I raise or lower it?Quote:

that's because you are using the E8400 which was designed to work at 63% GTLREFQuote:
