well.. you both flash 0901 and then try to go back to any of the previous.
See how it goes..;)
...so how do you simulate a bios update failure?
i dont have the p5k-e board...is there a 'bios recovery option' in the bios somewhere?Quote:
I've simulated a bios update failure and used the bios recovery that ASUS implemented on this board
i might need it in the future sometime :) ?
is it just 0901 bios that stopped you downgrading to an earlier bios??:shrug:
I really don't know what the hell is Asus doing on their bios.
For the P5E board the bios are also a piece of sh*t ! :(
i downgraded mine using an USB drive and the ez flash option in the Bios without any hitches.
Anyone tried the new version? Any better than 0602 version?
I have tried to downgrade it isnt happening. Maybe it has to do with this 0901 bios. I never had a problem flashing fromt he 0802 to 0503 before I updated to this dang bios. Asus has got me pretty ticked right now. I cant flash dos since my sata dvdrw isnt allowing me to boot with my dos cd or any other cd. I guess I am stuck with inaccurate temps and vcore till they release another junk bios I can try.
Use AsusUpdate
Check in the Options the downgrade option
Update by file
and done ;)
Wont allow it. I get same msg Ezflash or update. I am sure it has something to do with this newest bios locking out older ones in most programs. I will just have to try and get my dos boot cd to boot for me some how.
Would be nice if someone could take the 0602 bios and change the date on it so anyone can flash back without these problems. I would do it but I am unsure how to.
Ok. So try with this ! ;)
I found an old dvd ide burner in my closet but I havent flashed back yet. I gonna try this file 1st. Thx for sharing it. Sounds like it works great. I need to order a new dvd burner but I am not sure how well the newer sata burners are doing compared to ide ones. I will have to look it up.
Any news for a P5K-E bios ? Asus is sleeping on the job. :(
Well I made the mistake of putting 0901 on here, what a mess - wouldnt even boot with my 24/7 OC.
So I could not remove the POS either in EZ flash or Asus update. But someone suggested an older version of Asus Update - worked perfect just goto options and check bios downgradable. The link provided didn't work so here is another link for anyone stuck with 0806 or 0901 and wants to go back to 0602.

Guys - thanks for the research on this one, I was pissed!!
Does somebody try 0906 bios version?
P5KE1002.zip is UP
Here.
I'll test it tomorrow.
AAAARGHH!!! Can you believe this dang Asus?
Finally no Vdrop in bios 1002 but now it's impossible to disable EIST!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
At least, with this E6600, i hope i can disable it with my coming E8500 or 8400.
Man, Asus sure know how to pi$$ their customers off!
On a brighter note, Vdrop is the same as in my previous 0503 bios, 1.4375V in bios results in 1.408V in windows. :)
