Here is a little fix I had to do to get my P5B DLX up and running...
I have 2 x 1 GB Ballistix PC6400 but with this RAM the board would not post. When I powered up the system the screen stayed black (no post) although everything powered up (board, disks etc...). After some reading I suspected the board was not giving my RAM enough voltage. So I bought a cheap 256 MB PC4200 stick with Hynix chips on it just to make it post, which worked. Then I flashed the BIOS to the latest version. After that I went into the BIOS and set the memory voltage to 2.25 V (this used to work on my P5WD2-E). Then I added one Ballistix stick and started the system again. It showed 1280 MB.. After that I took the power off and swapped the Hynix DIMM for my other Ballistix DIMM, and guess what : It now works with the 2 Ballistix DIMM's !
Now the only thing I can hope is that Asus fixes this in a newer BIOS, because I think I have to do this trick again and again when I overclock my system so far that it won't post. Quite irritating because when the system is running it has no memory instability at all...
Hope it helps some of you with similar problems...
they use the word "system" in that sentence which could mean your motherboard system, not necessarily your operating system.

...well guess what! my system is a full 4C cooler !!! :woot: UNREAL!!!!
47C-55 idle/load now (from 51-58)
FRUCK yeah!!! :toast:
EDIT: after getting pissed off and voiding my warranty (how needs um) by ripping off that stupid ASUS stick off the NB and putting my own TIM on the thing, and BAM stablity...... oh i also stuck a fan ontop of the north bridge
CPU is to hot for me for prime (55+) untill i kill it, stupid stock HSF (waiting on water)
Alrighty, i need some MAJOR HELP. first off this is my FIRST intell build...
rocking this mobo(p5b deluxe) 507 bios rev. c1
a e6600
2gbs of ddrs 800 ram (gskill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ)
im also using the intell raid driver to run two 72gb raptors in raid0...
a x1900xtx from saphire,
and a 700watt OCZ PSU
right now everything is at stock speeds,with stock cooling,(loots of xtra fans though) mobo settings set as in guide, ram set to 1:1 (533) with there 800 timings (5-5-5-15) wiht 2.1v
now the first time i tried to install windows it rebooted in the last %75, and it couldnt finish the install, however i think it was caused by the south bridge overheating, (it was getting rather hot) so i slaped a fan there. then windows installed fine. i installed all the drivers and a few apps, a few reboots later, and one day of sitting.............
it boots into windows fine, i go leave it abit, when i came back, it had locked up, Before the screen saver could come on, now this system was running fine..... also after this lock up, the pc starts to lock up faster and faster( to the point i cant getinto bios) untill i let it sit etc....
SO i think its overheating shomehow.... but the procs heat sick isnt warm, the ram is barrely warm, the top set of voltage regulaters are fine. everything but the northbridge, its kinda warm to the touch, but nothing i would think would cause lock ups,
ive tried stock volts, all auto setting etc... and it locks up just the same (doesnt stay stable anylonger)
so im stumped, ANY help woul be EXTREMELY nice
thx
levi
I just set up a computer with an Asus P5B-Deluxe.
E6700 ES
2GB PQI Turbo DDR2 PQI25400-2GDB
NVidia 7900GS
Ultra XFinity 500W power supply
250GB Maxtor IDE hard drive (don't even have a CDROM installed since I don't have a cable long enough)
BIOS just flashed to 0711.
Standard settings. Nothing is overclocked.
At first, it ran great. All the drivers were installed. It still ran great.
Then I ran Windows Update and downloaded 60 updates. I rebooted. As soon as I run anything that is remotely taxing, the computer blue screens with a "page_fault_in_non_paged_area". I'm talking starting up Firefox or IE. Both of those will give me a BSOD almost immediately.
Normally, I would suspect a memory issue. But I clocked the memory down to 533MHz. I raised the vDIMM voltage to 2.0 and even 2.1. Nothing fixed it.
I disabled the onboard audio and the firewire. Again, no dice. BSOD immediately upon running
Then I removed one of the DIMMs. Still BSOD. Removed the other DIMM. Still BSOD.
What did fix it was booting into safe mode with networking. I can't get it to BSOD in safe mode.
So that says to me that it is possibly a driver issue. But I'm honestly lost. Has anyone encountered anything remotely similar?
when in doubt....format c:....*-):toast:
I just swapped in a 512MB stick from my 3.4GHz P4 Media PC that is rock solid and I got a BSOD after running IE.
Asus just told me...
you will need to set your memory timing in your bios to get this to work correctly. most memory modules come with documentation with the timings or some brands even print the timings on the memory itself. you will need to locate these numbers and enter your bios. from there look for the advanced tab and input the memory timings in the section labled dram or memory settings. you will need to set the memory settings from auto to manual then put your timings in those boxes
I have been blind before, but I can't for the life of me see where to input the memory timing of 4-4-4-12! ??
Went to advanced... what next
bios 0711
thanks
edit: I just found it under northbridge when spd set to disabled...
Do I put the 4-4-4-12 in the first four fields ... then what values go in the following six fields?
Is this data available anywhere on Asus site? On corsair's site?
jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
these guys make it tough to birtha Mega-Monster!

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm having a problem with my Plextor PX-755SA DVD Burner and this board.
This burner is reading and writing extremely slow!
I have a RAID 5 Array on the Intel Matrix chip, with all three drives connected to the red plugs on the board. (top red plugs)
Now I have this SATA Burner and originally I had it connected to the 4th and final red plug, but things weren't working well. (Power calibration error in Nero) So I plugged it into the black connector beside the red one and it would burn a cd but it was super slow.
Now I have it connected to the JMicron controller (far black plug) and it is still very slow. Itried every setting for this controller in the BIOS except 'raid'. (I can only analyze a movie in dvd shrink @ around 70 fps) I orginally had wanted this drive connected to the Intel controller so I can leave the JMicron controller disabled.
Does anyone else have this SATA Burner working with this board and a RAID array?
hmm all the black slots are jmicron i think...
have you tried playing with the settings in nero or on the ICH8R? im not sure how good the jmicron controller is.
All black slots can't be JMicron, as I was burning a cd with it connected to one of the black slots by the red slots with JMicron controller disabled in BIOS?
I think I may have got it though... playing with settings in Plex Tools... They really need a proper manual for these burners.

I ve heard about this problem, the problem was in the drivers.
Go to Asus.com, download the Jmicron driver (~~11mb), install it, see the result.

ok got a problem - when I restart most of the time I don't have video :eek: :mad: and have to power off the PSU and power it back on. so most of the time I just power down then turn back on instead of restarting - sorry if this has been cover (long night and long thread)

Oh, you are an angel. I gleaned lots of epiphanous insight!
What a chart! You went beyond the pale creating this for me. I hope other OC noob heads will benefit. Even Asus tech did not know wher in the BIOS these settings were! No surprise to you I must assume:) Why is this not in the friggin manual?
Thank you, thank you so much for your efforts. This is the forum that ROCKS for real world solutions to arcane motherboard/memory minutae. I will research the memory for the proper specs.
Why go anywhere else but XS? :scope:
thanks again :banana:
if you're simply using the JMicron port for an IDE (or SATA) burner, DON'T load the jmicron drivers.... just let windows install the standard IDE drivers... thewn you'll have ZERO issues with the port...
:cool:
I am not about to read the other 44 pages for one question. Has the double/triple/unlimited amount of restarts when booting being fixed by a bios update yet?
Ah, coming from an long history of AMD equipped systems, installing a Intel system turned out to be easy enough. I'm now running P5B Deluxe and E6400 with Corsair XMS memory. This thing overclocks almost like my last Intel processor, the Celeron 300A. ;) I'm now running at 4x800!
And I'm a newbie on the board, hello to all from Finland!
what kind of video card?...PCIe or PCI and what model.Quote:

I ended up running memtest this morning. I'm getting errors during the random testing. I ended up turning the vDIMM up to 2.1V, and it still gave me errors. I set the RAM to 667MHz and 533MHz and it made no difference.
I am going to try my other DDR2 RAM in the new Core 2 Duo box tonight and run memtest. I'm also going to run memtest with both sets of RAM on my Media Center PC (P4 3.4GHz with an Asus 945P motherboard) and see if that fails.
I hope to narrow the issue down to either the RAM, the motherboard (not likely), or the power supply.
I'll also pick up an Antec power supply from Circuit City that I can return later to rule that out.
What a pain in the ass.
Make sure you install jmicrom drivers from "f6" prompt during windows install.Quote:

jmicron in bios set to ide.
"Do not update jmicron drivers later or from windows update site" otherwise you will have disappearing drive, etc.
jmicron drivers work flawlessly providing installed during "f6" process, otherwise, you will spend countless hours banging your head trying to figure it out.
Thanks for all your fine help so far... but
Should I set the CPU External Frequency manually at 200MHz because I am using corsair xms DDR2-800C4?
Does this effect the speed of CPU calculations, effectively slowing down the E6700?
Also, the CPU-z shows my SPD at 4-4-4-13 event hough it is set at 4-4-4-12-5?
This is my first Intel system (obviously)
