The displays plugged in it never produced an image of any kind, while on the secondary pci-e slot. When I tried it on the primary pci-e slot, it worked just fine.Quote:

Aren't 7100gs a little outdated already for gaming? Even though I'm not looking for crossfire setup, I do like to game every one in a while. X1950pro has been plenty of gaming power for me.
Thank you for taking your time and helping me out.
I don't think I understand. You already have a primary card and just want to add something to have a third monitor with that can do aero right? So gaming shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Also, when you were talking about not getting an image, did you boot to windows and install drivers for the second card and then extend your desktop to it?
Hi,
Can you tell me please if Asus p5b deluxe supports Nvidia SLI?
Thanks
No. it does not.Quote:

It can be tricky, you need to start reading about the two.
Even if you can crossfire. It only runs the 2nd card at 4x. It's not full dual 16x lanes.
Hey folks. I've flashed my BIOS with 1901 however I have trouble cold booting into Windows XP Pro. The computer loads into Windows fine after a warm boot but It always fails on a cold boot. I have recently purchased a new SATA II Seagate harddrive which I run Windows from but I doubt it is the problem and also the S.M.A.R.T status for this drive doesn't state anything out of the ordinary. I've seen a thread about this on the Asus forums (clicky) but there doesn't seem to be a solution.
This morning I tried booting into Windows, the room temp is around 15c. First off the windows loading screen appeared and a second later my screen turned black, everything remained on. I restarted and this happened again. I went into BIOS and reviewed my settings, mostly everything is default and nothing has been overclocked. I tried starting up again and selected the "use recommended configuration that worked last time". This is seriously getting a on my nerves. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I did not know they had a BIOS with 1901. When I go to the site the latest I see is BIOS 1101.Quote:

Can somebody help:(
what does cpuz say? in task manager, you can set it to show a composite cpu load.
more importantly, go in your device manager and expand computer. is it uniprocessor or multi? when you switch cpu's, it might not change and that'd be why.

The Pentium D 805 was working fine on another mainboard.
I got it:
The problem is in hal.inf( because i am using a portable windows xp sp2-www.usboot.org)
The author has told me to make the following changes in hal.inf:
%ACPIAPIC_MP.DeviceDesc% = ACPIAPIC_MP_HAL, E_ISA_UP, MPS_UP, MPS_MP, ACPIPIC_UP, ACPIAPIC_UP, ACPIAPIC_MP ; ACPI APIC-based PC (MP)

Hey Guys
I am having boot issues with my new P5B Deluxe board bought at Fry's. This board seems to have an older BIOS, and it won't boot up. It does the double boot if its a cold boot (after disconnecting power), and after that all fans are on, led on board is RED, no startup beep, no post screen etc.
I have tried different RAM in different slots, 1 and 2 sticks (Corsair 6400 2GB Kit, and some DDR2 3200 400MHZ borrowed from work <-- does this RAM work on P5B?), different video card, and I have also unplugged all other peripherals other than Video card and RAM, and the same issue happens with no beep sound and no post screen.
I also did the CMOS jumper reset, with no success, I think I am going to try a stick of PC4200 or PC5400 of DDR2 and if that doesn't help, RMA the board .
Please let me know if you have experienced the same issue, and the different things you tried.
Thanks a lot in advance!
SPEC of my new system:
P5B Deluxe
E4300
Geforce 7900GS
2GB Corsair 6400C4 RAM
OCZ PowerStream 520 (this PSU has a 4+4 = 8 pin power adapter for the extra power connector on the P5B Deluxe).
Could be the motherboard itself. Did you buy it used? Try to exchange it.Quote:

This board should be new, the box did not have any of the return stickers on it, and I carefully inspected the board's mounting holes, and there was no sign of prior use or mounting.
The BIOS is definitely old, I am not exactly which version of BIOS it has, I haven't tried using another CPU, I will see what I can do about that, I will try a E6300 and some DDR2 5400 Ram before I call it quits and RMA or return and get another board :(.
What are the stock voltages for the FSB termination voltage, NB Vcore, SB Vcore and ICH chipset voltage?
ri3eboi
no boot usually means bad cpu .
or , cpu might have an issue with the bios because it isn't recognised
or , "simply" bad mobo
Or it may have a hard time trying to boot because this board is known to not like memory with low vdimm. Try with one memory stick and see if it boots, then up the vdimm to at least 2V or higher.
do any of you have the p5b dlx revision 1.10g boards and 4gb of ram and qx6700 cpu?
i have built 2 systems this week with 4gb of ram and dual boot systems with xp pro and vista 64bit. in the bios i enabled the remap so i see 4gb of ram and vista 64bit is happy but xp pro is only showing 2gb.
normaly with the remap enabled i see 3.2gb in xp pro.
if i disable the remap i do get 3gb in xp pro.
on older versions of the p5b dlx with remap enabled or disabled i see about 3.2gb
the bios version is 1101.
I had this problem with this MB. I could not boot with the dual core CPU. I would get one beep and the screen froze. I put in a older HT processor and had a good boot. I updated to a later bios and was all set.Quote:

with remap enabled the mobo splits the ram into 2 parts of 2gb each but the 2nd 2gb is address between 4gb and 6gb so xp will not see it. 64bit os's can address the 4gb - 6gb range so can use it no problem.
interesting. why would you want to remap then?
because my customer wanted dual boot xp pro and vista basic 64bit and need to enable the remap to get 4gb in 64bit..Quote:

Well the easy part of that at least with this is save 2 different profiles in the bios and have like 1 be 32-bit and 2 be 64-bit. Gotta love that wish you could rename them though like on the DFI boards.Quote:

The BIOS that came on the board was 0701 I believe. I didn't like it because it would take about 1 hour of power disconnect and CMOS jumper in clear position to recover from bad OC. I used Asus EZ Flash to flash BIOS 1101. Now I got it to boot only once with this new BIOS, but only after having power off and CMOS jumper in clear position overnight. Windows seemed OK so I decided to go for a mild OC.
300 on CPU...DDR2 600 for 1:1 stock vcore and vdimm...PCI-E 100...33.3...NB 1.55 all the rest auto. When I went into CPU setup and tried to enable ratio support the BIOS froze. Now I have the CMOS jumper in clear...1 hour later it POSTS. I try to change in the CPU section to disable C1E...BIOS freezes. It has been more than 3 hours and CMOS does not clear, not even with battery removed. This board is more trouble than it is worth. I think I will trade it in for another P5W DH which I have never had any problems with at all.
OK it appears I had a bad stick of RAM. The board seems to be working OK. I have my E6600 at 400x8 using 1.3875vcore, not stable. On my P5 W DH the same chip was stable at 400x8 1.37vcore. But then again I had 2gb RAM. Anyway I guess the board is OK and I just need to learn it a bit.
I have yet to try an older PROC than C2D. But I am pretty much done with this motherboard. I tried a E6400 CPU and some Corsair DDR2 667 RAM with no success! This has got to be the worst pc building experience I had in years!Quote:

Thanks again for all the help guys.
Ok I just got back my p5b deluxe from RMA and it is a rev 1.10G motherbaord and here are a few things I noticed
Caps around CPU are purple
Traces are rewired around the marvel Yukon lan chip
The north bridge cooler is a deeper gold (could be just the RMA)
A few gold traces exposed on the board (no idea why)
Socket retention bracket has less of a dip on it.
The Temperature winbond sensor chip read correct temps (didnt happen on my old mother board)
I currently have a small farm folding 24/7 (only 4 machines at present), I haven't had the first problems with either of the 2 P5B Dlx's I have. Now all of a sudden when I try and fold on one it keeps giving me a communication (or some thing) error (I checked RAM, software, PSU, folding client, HD, cpu, etc) I tried it first with a E6600, then with a E6420 and finally with a E6300 (I only have one more cpu to try, a E6400) Does it sound like I might have burned the board out (my cpu temps are cool) Please anybody, I'm at my wits end with this board, I even took the E6300 out of the P5B and put it in a Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA (bad overclocker) and it folds like a "mad rabbit". :confused:
jws2346 try reinstalling the LAN drivers and update to the latest BIOS
Got ya, you mean the drivers on the CD right ? (excuse this statement if it's dumb :rolleyes: ) ThanxQuote:

I'm pleased to say that although this was my first build everything has gone pretty smoothly. I've got my e6400 running at 3.01Ghz (430x7) 24/7. It is an L2-stepping, so that be what has limited me, although I've recently done the Vdroop pencil mod and may try for 3.2 again (before it just needed too much vCore - although now that the new 6x20s are out maybe I'll just let this one get hot...)
Anyway, the one thing that has me a touch concerned is my "motherboard" temp (reads as "MB" in Probe and "System" in Speedfan). It had been reading 47-48C for a while, so I pulled off the NB and SB heatsinks and applied AS5 (but not to the Mofset - that didn't seem right...)
The temp now hovers around 44-45, but that still seems high compared to what others get (I often see mid-30s).
Basically, should I be concerned about this? How hot can/should it get? I have a Nzxt Appollo mid-tower case, with front and side intake fans and a rear exhaust fan (all 120mm). Also running a Tuniq Tower on the processor. If I should be concerned, what else can I do?
Also, what is the general concensous on processor (core) temps? I have been trying to keep things at under 60 during Orthos load, but can I go higher? I've noticed that nothing real-world seems to get the temps that high, so can I go to 65-67 in Orthos? What if I dont care too much about the life of the processor? Will overheating the processor fry other parts, too?

I have a question.
It is a problem to set the MCH (chipset) voltage to 1.55 by aircooling?
I want to use FSB400 with 5:4 @ DDR1000 but sometimes at startup my pc is freezing. Don't know why... I have 2 GB cellshock DDR800 (D9GMH) and it doesn't work with DDR1000 @ CL5 @ 2.3V @ 5:4. my pc won't boot (mch currently @ 1.45V).
But if i change cl4 to cl5 (5-5-5...) than he starts, but sometimes i get freezes at startup.
maybe it will work without problems if i set MCH to 1.55V ?
update:
I have set NB volatge @ 1.55 but problem still exist.
My pc freezes at startup if I start from standbye...
I don't get a freeze if i turn my PSU off and on and start my pc.
wtf?!
for 4:5 you need more vdimm due to much tighter latencies on 4:5 versus 2:3 dividers or you can set CAS5 to help loosen it up at 4:5 divider. vMCH set at 1.65v might helpQuote:

But.. 1 time i could boot and ran Aquamark 3 without problems. Then I shutdown my pc and started it again.. -> freeze (bios resett necessary because pc wont boot, absolutely no boot.. black screen).
Is it my memory (Cellshock DDR800 cl4 D9GMH) what makes the problems or is it the 4:5 dividers who won't work on my P5B Deluxe ???? :(
I have a problem with my board. It's a rev. 1.03G with BIOS 0507. I've tried it with two different CPUs (Xeon 3060 and Celly 326), several memory sticks, PSUs and graphics cards.
It worked fine until a mosfet above the pci-e slot burnt. The board was running at stock when that happened. Then I soldered on a mosfet from a dead P5B-E Plus, but the Dlx won't boot now.
It turns on, stays on for some seconds, turns off and on again and keeps on like that, no post. Do you think there is any hope for my board?
I've tried replacing the CMOS battery.
Updated to latest bios 1101 with latest Asusupdate software
i restart and get an bios checksum error, changed back to original overclocked settings and boots into windows
is there something wrong?
now i restart the asusupdate thing and now it says on the bios rom info = unknown and "Due to BIOS inner framework was changed, please download the latest software from the asustek website"
so i cant rollback to 1004?
Hmm, bios checksum isn't out of the ordinary. Besides, people advise against flashing when o/ced but I say if it's known to be good, why not?
But have you tried downloading 1101 or whatever the newest is and flashing it again?
Did you try setting every thing to default, reboot and then set up your custom settings? Or, try to clear the bios with the jumper.Quote:

Looking for a P5B-Deluxe Combo heatsink. PM me if you have one. Thanks.
has anyone of you had any CDBOOT: memory overflow errors with its P5bdlx?
Hi I need some help with my Asus P5B-Deluxe setup with an E6600 and some Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 memory.
I had been running very stable at 356x9 for quite awhile now, but then I learned that 400x8 is better because the FBS and the mem would be running at matching speeds.
Anyway, no luck at 400x8. System fails to power back on. Any ideas? Here are my settings btw:
CPU Frequency 400
DRAM Frequency DDR2-800MHz
PCI Express Frequency 100
PCI Clock Synchronous Mode 33.33MHz
Memory Voltage 2.00V
CPU VCore Voltage 1.4000V
FSB Termination Voltage 1.2000V
And I'm running my memory at 4-4-4-12 timings also.
hmm, sorry to hear your troubles. I'm able to do 400fsb 1:1 fine with all stock settings.
But have you tried:
105pcie or 110?
you try 2.1v for vdimm?
how about applying 1.45v to nb?
perhaps slightly higher vcore too for whatever reason
how about defining timings manually. you can give 5-5-5-15-5-42-3-11-7-13 a shot to start with. turn off static read control to start too as well.
also, does 401fsb work? how about if you drop the multiplier to 7x to see if it'll do that fsb?
what bios are you running?
that said, if 401fsb works, you'd be better off either proceeding to 467fsb+ if possible, or sticking with 356fsb. 401fsb is pretty weak.
If you're indeed limited to 356fsb, you can at least try 4:5 or 2:3 ram dividers with more vdimm and run your ram faster. Ballistix should be decent clocking.
Is static read control something I should leave disabled for good?
if you can run with it on, then definitely use it. it does give a little boost to memory bandwidth. but most people turn it off, so either way
Been a long time since I overclocked anything... like celeron 300 days. I recently picked up a 6320, p5b-e, antec true-power, g.skill 2x2GB modules and asked for some advice over on the [H] which I followed here:http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1187580
After trying everything I could, reading the threads here at XS and even a little voodoo, 2 sacrificed chickens and several shouted expletives, I was nowhere closer to success.
The system will boot into windows just fine at 360fsb(as a first test), it'll run 3dmark, prime95 etc... however, xp64 can't connect to the internet successfully. Low level stuff works, ping tracert dns etc, but nothing higher up the TCP stack works at all.
I've tried a terrific combination of voltages and FSB speeds, going all the way down to 290 and still having the same weird internet connectivity issue. I've tried pushing the chipset voltage way up, same results. At stock the machine works perfectly.
Any thoughts? I have a sneaking suspicion that the mobo may be bad, but i'm not 100% sure about the 4gb of ram or even my choice of CPU. I've got time to exchange any of the parts for other recommendations(minus the restocking fee of course)
Did you lock the PCI clock at 33MHz?
yessir, even locked it at 33mhz after licking it :p:Quote:

Can you try clearing the cmos. Running stock to see if it's gone. Disable the pci lock if it's enabled. Boot again. Then reenable it. Then try moving fsb up again?
I know my p5b had an issue with graphics getting stuck at x1 the first time I started o/cing. but a combination of vnb adjustment and forcing it to x1 and then unforcing it causes it to be x16 no matter what now.
edit: I know this is almost certainly incorrect, but have you tried a reinstallation? I don't know if I'd think it's necessarily a floating pci, since at around 360, if you didn't have a lock, you should have already lost sound and at 360 or so, start to lose sata as well.
105 pcie seems to be magic, running benchmarks now at 360x7, everything is working fine, moving to 400x7 next, if all looks well there, that's my planned 24/7 speed I think.Quote:

so IF u wanna get 1GHz ram speed, no matter what kind of memory u have (800+, 1066, etc...) the only way to make it stable if u leave the timings by SPD!
DO NOT SET manually the timings!!:nono: :fact:
it will be automaticall 5-5-5-15 2T and will work like a charm...
i know, i have been messing around to get 1GHz RAM speed for week, tryin' almost all the posssible BIOS settings/timings, testing them for hours, at the end of the day it froze, bsod whatever....
now i am running 100% stable at 1000MHz cl5!:clap:
hi everyone. i have some problems with my p5b deluxe wifi-ap.

I really don't think it makes a difference. The black ports are for data drives, what ever the means. Just make sure you have the boot drive set up correctly in the bios.
Which memory slots for dual-channel? Does it matter if you use the yellow slots or the black ones?
You need to put both sticks in the same color slots.
fill up the intel ones first, then plug the dvd drive into the jmicron. dont trust the jmicron for data.
I hope you didn't leave the vcore on auto becasuse after 1.45v cpuz locks at 1.2v. Well, this is the best I could get from mineQuote:

The problems I'm having are kind of hard to isolate, but they only seem to be happening, to my knowledge, when I'm attempting to overclock my system. I have an E6600 with a P5B-Deluxe (1101 BIOS) and am trying to run it at 400x8 for a relatively easy overclock. Orthos reports this as stable over several attempts of 8+hrs, and heat doesn't seem to be an issue (P182 case with good cooling, Tuniq Tower for CPU).
The problem is a bit hard to describe so I'm posting it to see if anyone else has had it, since I can't find much about it at all.
Basically, when I'm using Firefox, certain pages don't seem to load properly. They'll load 1/2 way, or will not load the CSS but will load the page data. Other than that everything seems fine but that problem itself is quite annoying.
Anyone know what the problem is likely to be? I don't have any of the voltages in the 'red' range in the BIOS, can post them if need be.

I'd feel the same way if it weren't for the fact that the problem doesn't seem to appear when I set my BIOS for defaults (9x266 etc). Any good pieces of software to test peripherals for stability? The core seems stable and the machine runs fairly nicely at 8x400, but I'd like to see if I can isolate the problem a bit more.Quote:

But, I use speedStep so when idle or low load the Vcore is much less. But, I have stressed my computer for several days when I was out of town. I ran Orthos and looped 3DMARK06 for 3 days.
Take a look at the Reliability and Performance Monitor in the control panel, it may provide some information.
what are you setting for pcie freq? try setting it to 105. should work fine, but then try some others like 110, 103, 101, 108.
Also, you could try gaining vsb to 1.6v. I've seen that as necessary in some rare situations
It's set for 100 right now. Will try other settings in a bit.Quote:

Hi guys, first post on here.
This is a long story about my DRAM Frequency or Memory Frequency. I've used my first Kingston ValueRAM 800MHz and when I put any FSB speed over default speed and putting RAM at 800MHz, it will not boot up, only at default CPU Frequency. Now, I am at current bios revision which I thought would solve the problem and it didn't. I have to put my DRAM Frequency at Auto and Voltage at 1.85 or 1.8 and CPU Frequency at 456 with and it will be stable and boot up, but If put any 5 speeds on DRAM Frequency, none of them will boot up or black screen which is strange. I was wanting to put default DRAM at 800MHz but it is not on there or will not work anyway (only at default cpu speed).
Now, I got Kingston Hyper-X 1066MHz that is ready for our motherboards. It does the same thing except letting me overclocked to 3.3GHz E6300 with 1.320V in Windows and DRAM Frequency at Auto with 2.25V. There is no 1066MHz on the 5 list and those 5 speed list for DRAM Frequency will not boot up so just put at Auto which pissing me off. I wanted to put it at default memory speed which is 1066MHz. It sounds like I have defective DRAM. Even when I go to North Bridge Configuration and disabling the Memory Control or Timing thing that you can configure them and if I see that or leave it there instead of Enable then it will not boot up, I have to keep Enabled the middle one above Static Read Control. None of the timings will work either. It is pissing me off. My FSB is at 1880MHz. Please someone help me. Sorry if you have to read all this, its really frustrating that I wanted to keep my Default Memory speed at 1066MHz.
Vcore 1.620 (BIOS) and 1.320 (Windows) with Core Temp Beta at 42C (3.3GHz)
Memory 2.25
FSB 1.3000
NB 1.25
SATA Auto
ICH 1.057
I've tried many voltage numbers and none of them work with DRAM Frequency. I've tried the highest memory voltage which could fry my memory but it didn't work anyway.
Thank you!!
Edit: 472x7, 1:1 memory on CPU-Z.
I've got my drives set to AHCI, but when booting from my SATA-dvd it takes like 20sec for it to start reading. Is this normal? Do you guys have that delay aswell?
It's like, when it says "Press a button to boot from CD" or whatever, it's just stops before that for like 20sec then it comes up.
Well, I don't think no one will ever help with mine, I guess mine sounds like a hard one to fix. I don't think I should have posted it on here, its been like that since I first got it since December which is frustrating. All I wanted was to put 1067MHz on the Memory Speed but it doesn't show on there when I overclock CPU Frequency to 472 FSB.
anonymous88, I think what the problem you're having is a misunderstanding. ram doesn't have a "set" speed per say, and you can't run ram independently on the p965 boards. In the main 266 strap, you have 1:1, 4:5, and 2:3. These are better represented as 533mhz, 667, and 800, while fsb is at 266. Thus, when you scale up fsb, if you keep the highest setting, it's actually going to scale as well. The newer bios revisions do indeed have this value scale up, which you can probably notice.
Now, that said, you being able to run your e6300 at 3.3ghz means your fsb is at 471, which is quite respectable already. Running 1:1, like you have, you get also 471 ram (942).
In the p5b settings, you do have further memory speed options than the three listed above, but those run on a lower strap, which means that it will excessively overclock the motherboard. That's why if perhaps you chose one of those settings, when you tried to overclock past stock, it didn't work.
So that said, since you have a e6300, you're going to need high fsb to run it up to speed. That said, your only option would be 1:1. The next level would be 4:5, but at 471fsb, that'd equate to ram running at 589 or 1177. Now, with a little more voltage, there's a good chance you can get your ram to run at that speed. However, running 4:5 is much harder on most p965 boards, which means that at that high of an fsb (471), chances are 4:5 won't work anymore, leaving you with only 1:1.
So at this point, you should just work on seeing where you can bring fsb. And then maybe work on timings.
To be able to run your ram at rated speeds of 1066, while using 1:1, you'd need fsb at 533, which is a bit of a challenge for most boards. That said, you'd probably be only looking at the 6x multiplier if you did so, which would mean 6x533=3200.
Just find you max with cas4 and you should be happy
Thanks for a great response ziddey,Quote:

Dude Double resets on rev 1.10 P5b .....
UGh doesnt bother me But I have tried new BIOS then reverted back to 711
I have a beta bios 1201
Dated April 18
anyone have a host for it?
PM me please
Do you know any improvement on that version ?Quote:

bump vnb. try higher pcie freq. try forcing it to x1 in bios and then unforcing.
Did it '' thanks ziddy !!!!
Unlock and reduce speed to 100 then re lock worked
Thanks !!
Hi!
i am trying to run @1000MHz cl5, my a-data vitesta extreme edition 2*1gb kit at 2.30V with 4:5 divider! NB voltage 1.45V.
thing is workin', i mean i can boot, i can test but sometimes, absolutely randomly i got freeze! its not restarting but locks up! from the 2.1 speaker system i can hear this noise, its like buzzing fast...cant say properly but theres noise! and on the keyboard, the NUM LOCK led wanly flashing!
but also i was able to run dual orthos blend test for 8 hours, ran memtest86+/goldmemory for 4 hours, no problem...
still, no matter i am playing or just browsing i got randomly lock up!
what can be the problem?! my memory? or the motherborad? or my PSU is not enought?
any suggestion?
if i am running my ram @800MHz ,its all good!
-_- 2.45 volts WOW my ram cant even touch that. Try increasing your NB volts. Also the cracking my be snap crackle pop syndrome that pleauged the audigy and x-FI series cards. But if sound is normal when not overclocked then your overclock is bad/not working.

beta bios 1201
Hey, anyone noticed any improvements in the BIOS, is this one stable ?!
Regards : >
Please more information of 1201 :d please!!!!
