Fantastic. I've got my project for the weekend and will let y'all know how it goes. Thanks again very much.
Hi guys I need a bit of a info!
I have an Abit IP35 Pro V1.1 (Bios V18ZZZ) with bolt mod running with a Q6600(1.325VID) and 4GB of OCZ reaper PC2 8500 Ram.
Just ordered an OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD, should be with me on Tuesday. But reading some posts I am wondering if I need the V19 Bios update posted in OCZ Forums?
The v19 bios in the ocz forums is actually v17 with the latest sb drivers (its a typo), the 18zzz is the latest and will be a better choice , make sure you use achi and the lnewest intel rst drivers.Quote:

This BIOS has all the latest option ROMs at the date of this posting, and will be sufficient for your needs. See the first post on this page for all the latest drivers.
And Realtek HD Audio R2.61 has been released. See the first post for valid links.
Thank you very much for the quick response! I have already updated the drivers it is just the bios I was not sure about. With the recent talk about the cold boot issues with OCZ SSD's I was(am) a bit worried. I will stick with 18ZZZ bios.
Unfortunately the versioning of BIOSes now is confusing. Where did you get your 18ZZZ BIOS from? Are you certain that it has newer option ROMs than the "original" 18ZZZ offering from the Lejabeach site?
i downloaded it from http://www.lejabeach.com/ABIT/IP35Pro/
Direct link is http://www.lejabeach.com/ABIT/IP35Pr...ro%2018ZZZ.rar
Is this not the correct bios version?
It is correct, and is sufficiently new to use with your SSD without issue, but I have a newer one with newer Phoenix AHCI, JMicron, and Realtek PXE ROMs. I would suggest updating.
Oh Ok I Have downloaded that using your link but didn't update as both bios has the same name(18ZZZ) but your one is "b18-0117.ZZZ" and dated 17/01/2011, the one I have flashed is Called "07-05-10.ZZZ" and dated 05/07/2010 thats the one from lejabeach web site.
So I will flash it in the morning and will update. Thanx for the help. Must sleep now it is close to 5am and I have to wake up again in less than 4 hours :)
Don't v17 and 18 prevent you from entering the BIOS with a USB keyboard once AHCI is enabled?Quote:

Which cold boot issue?
When I start the PC after a complete shutdown(off from mains as well) it doesnt recognise the SSD in bootup and in bios. Have to do a hard reset via the reset button(some times several times) for the PC to "see" the SSD.Quote:

If you carefully watch the ROM screens at bootup you should be able to tell which version you have.
JMicron JMB363 Storage Controller driver R1.17.63 WHQL is out. Download
Yay, JMicron released an update to their JMB363 option ROM, version 1.07.28. Release notes have not been updated, so I have no clue what's changed yet. I'll have a lot of fun updating 13 BIOS versions soon...
And Realtek HD Audio driver R2.62 was released a few days ago, see links at the top of this page.
IP35 Pro BIOS 17- Problem started with random blue screens, when system idle. Now, upon latest reboot splash screen froze for over two minutes. Tried resetting CMOS, and then unplugging power cord for hour. Splash screen still freezing. Finally just left the splash screen, and finally (4+ minutes) screen changed and gave me a "cmos check sum error-Defaults loaded". Was then able to finish boot, but before I try restart, thought I'd check with the experts for advice.
Replace your CMOS battery, to begin with.
Thanks-That seems to have solved the CMOS Check Sum Problem, but could the battery also be cause of Blue Screens? Time will tell, I guess.Quote:

Glad I could help. If you could zip up the contents of the %systemroot%\Minidump folder and upload it somewhere, I can analyze the crash dumps to hopefully figure out the cause of your blue screens.
I think I figured out the attachment method. Hope this helps.Attachment 117538Quote:

I see you are overclocking; verify your temperatures at idle and load, as well as power supply voltages (best to check with a multimeter). Run IntelBurnTest, then if that passes, memtest86+ for an extended period of time (24 hours or more) to rule out CPU/RAM issues. If any errors result, go back to stock speeds and test again. If no issues, then your overclock has an issue somewhere.Quote:
