To answer my own question it works fine ;)Quote:

Hi guys, can anyone help me please? :confused:
I've just swapped out my E6600 for a Q9450 and updated my BIOS to 2801. I'm trying to install Vista but I keep getting 'memory management' BSOD and sometimes it just restarts after a BSOD (too quickly to read the exact errors).
I've ran the Memory Diagnostics tools and it says my memory is fine. I even replaced the RAM with another pair but still it crashes. I was reading this thread and someone suggested trying to increase the voltage on the RAM so I increased it to 2.0v but still no joy :( .
Is there a way of knowing whether it's the CPU or the BIOS that's causing the problem?
So far I know it's not the GPU, RAM or HD.
I'm using:
P5W DH Deluxe (2801)
Q9450
2GB OCZ
320GB HD
7800GTX
Thanks in advance guys! :)
Did you reset all the BIOS settings to AUTO before trying things? The old settings that worked OK with the E6600 might need tweaking...Quote:

Not having a lot of luck on the support front. Each time I contact a new support technician (up to #3 now), I hear encoraging talk of how the 1.02G issue will be looked into, then nothing. If I had to guess, the eager support people go ask about 1.02G then they are told it would be expensive to admit the problems and to ignore any questions.
I'll wait another week on the current guy, then seek another way to get ASUS to at least tell us that the 1.02G version is no longer supported and to please go buy another ASUS board...
I have a q9550 along with an asus p5w dh of course. Everything is fine except it always stays at 2.83ghz even when at idle. My old q6700 would adjust depending on system demand. I have set Current power plan to balanced and auto settings on all in the bios. Anything else I need to do or any suggestions??
Thanks
Oh, running vista 64, sp1
Are these 3 techs at the same level or have you tried a supervisor? I don't envy you going through this hassle but I sure hope your persistence pays off.Quote:

They are just the guys that answer the phone (eventually) when you call for tech support. They keep going off to ask about the issue, then I never hear from them again.Quote:

it should run at 1.5 VcoreQuote:

I'd like to ask whether rev. 1.03g has also problems with adjusting voltage below 1.4V ?
Thanks in advance
omg keep this board going guys...
: D
try with just one stick of ram and bump the nb upQuote:

New and I think the last review of our P5W DH.
They compare perfomance of i975 in Crossfire to new P45 and X48. And perfomance of i975 memory controller is very strong outperforming X48-DDR2 :)
So in many cases it makes P5W to be a leader even with lowered Crossfire bandwith on it, then 8x PCI-E slot is 4 times slower than 16x PCI-E 2.0 on X48.
Hi,
I try to update my bios on my P5WDH and it fails
2004 to a more recent version (i tried with all versions and last 2801)
Because i want to update my CPU.
I try by 3 methods
Alt - F2 and a usb key with P5WDH.rom
result : Failed to flash
form bios with Ez utility 2:
result : bios data does not match the file content
from cd-rom .iso (afudos)
result : block data does not match file 0x000F0000
Can you help me ?
Best regards
Allan
N.B sorry , i am not sure that it is the good place for this question, but i wish that a expert can reply :)
Oh somebody please reply! I am trying to same thing, going form 2206 to 2801 and have failed both Alt - F2 and EZ Utility 2 methods with a USB Flash drive!
I just updated the BIOS today to 2801 from a USB flash drive by using the EZ flash utility. I'm not sure which BIOS was present - perhaps 2704? However, the BIOS upgrade did not solve my problem. :(
I am using an E7200 on the P5W DH 1.04G. Unfortunately there is no way to change the core voltage with this CPU to anything but "AUTO." Default core voltage is 1.05V so OC > 3GHz is impossible. The same CPU runs fine in other boards at 3.6-3.8 GHz. The CPU I previoulsy used in the P5W is an original E6700 from 2006. That CPU works fine and it is possible to change the core voltage. Is it just impossible to change the voltage because the E7200 is too new a CPU for the P5W DH? Thanks.
EB-1, this is a frequent issue with our board. You should flash using this procedure:and then remove both battery and jumper to have full CMOS clear. I think this should help you.Quote:
EITHER Flash using AFUDOS and the tags "afudos /i****.rom /p /b /n /c" (without quotes) , then clear cmos as the manual describes [Credit - OPB] OR Disable Speedstep and Enhanced C1 Control in the Cpu Configuration section of the BIOS. [Credit - DjLeco]
Well, I'd say reboot the PC a few times, since EVENTUALLY you get non-AUTO settings on any CPU. Your 45nm E7200 would be an issue on a 1.02G board, but your 1.04G should be OK...Quote:

Then I downloaded and installed the latest Asus AI Overclock utility. To my surprise I was able to set lower voltage values through the utility than through the bios. After re-booting the system posted 4ghz as if it was taking the new lower voltage. I went into the bios and notice the voltage value was 1.4 (not the value I set) but it was highlighted differently. My system was not stable but I have yet to do any further tweaking.
I would think the bios should at least report the values set by their overclocking utility. Is the utility a backdoor to setting up the bios on these older rev boards? Is it advisable to continue down this road?
First off, a 45nm CPU in a 1.02G board is stuck for now with AUTO or nothing. Even then, I have to cut back the FSB from 333 to 290 so my Q9450 doesn't crash within minutes of booting.Quote:
