Maybe a conflict with the card?
I'm stumped.
Obviously, if you had spare parts you could swap in, in order to rule-out each component, that would be helpful. Instinctively, though, this sounds to me like either an issue with the mobo, or the PSU (assuming the memory is fine).Quote:

it goes to standby just fine, but when I come back, the fans all start up, and i think i hear the hard drives go, but video doesnt seem to come back, and the keyboard doesnt initialize to the point where i can turn on and off the locks (num/caps/scroll)
Wondering if this has something to do with full power off on rebot or if i have some other setting that is screwing with me.
Core 2 x6800 (10*350 1.4vcore)
P5W DH bios 1305

2x 74gb raptor raid0 on ezraid ports

antec TPII 550W

I have taken it all the way down...out of the chasis, multiple psu's, , another set of RAM (Cricial), no hard drives. The only thing I can't test is the graphics card (the x1900xt is the only PCEe card I have).Quote:

Thanks - I'll post any results ASAP
I'm using two DVD drives hooked up to the Intel port without any problems. Master/slave.Quote:

Didnt you say that the drives were being forced into PIO mode?
And that getting a different cable did not help ?
Quick Tip:
If you're having trouble booting into Windows, or it takes a while for the screen to come up, increase your MCH voltage.
To those getting 450+FSB, do you think it's really worth it? Wouldn't pumping that much voltage into CPU/MEM/MCH greatly shorten the life of your components with not much performance gain?
I'm currently at 410FSB with:
CPU MULT: 8x
CPU VOLT: 1.5V
MEM VOLT: 2.0V
MCH: 1.65V
I think these voltages are low enough to get the most out of overcloking the mobo without drastically lowering the life of anything. Opinions??
Well, it would appear you have narrowed it down to either a faulty vid-card or mobo. Hope you get that sorted-out quickly.Quote:

Anyways.. did the 1405 bios really help people with higher more stable OCs?
I use 2.1v 4-4-4-12 800mhz. My sticker said 2.1-2.2v 800Mhz so I've always set it there @ 9 X 400. The 1405 bios gained me a few mhz 3DMark stable. It went from 420Mhz to 423Mhz. All other max clocks pretty much stayed the same. Pi scores got a tad better. From my understanding the 1405 final bios will be a tad better than the beta we've all used, maybe.
Interestingly, I can run at x9 = 3.690ghz on my E6600, but my graphics are all screwed up when playing 3d games. I'm ONLY changing the multiplier too.
x8 = 3.28 ghz works fine. Raising vcore to something like 1.65V helps (but does not fix) in x9, but I don't want to raise it any higher just for 400 extra mhz!

I can confirm that this version of DH Remote (1.00.29) does work without any help with USB hub or anything. Simply plug in USB receiver to the ports under LAN2 and DH Remote application picked up the receiver right away.
Appearantly this version installed an "ATK0110 ACPI UTILITY" under System Device which was missing in all the previous versions of DH Remote app.
But have yet to track down said version......living in hope here, guys & gals....

there is newer version for DH Remote on the asus ftp "DHRemote10036.zip" i never gave it a try as mine worked without any problem since day one...anyhow here is the link:

I cannot seem to ever get the remote to be responsive, no matter which version of the software I use. The only program I ever try to control with it is Winamp, and very consistently I have to keep pressing a button for about 10 seconds before it will react, and then as long as I keep pressing buttons within 3-4 seconds of each other it is responsive. As soon as I don't press anything for at least 5 seconds though, it takes another 10 seconds to get it to react. Wish I could figure out why that is.Quote:

Just change the multiplier in windows with crystalCPUID (I think that's what its called). It requires that much voltage because the chip is initially detected as the multiplier it was designed at, so it has to start an initial power up at that multiplier, and then the motherboard changes the multiplier.Quote:

(example: Trying to use 6x450 (2750 mhz) on an X6800 would require the same vcore as it would take to have the chip to at least pass the power on cycle at 4950 mhz! (450x11).
The Nemisis - thanks for the info! :)
doh... dbl post.. gah!
Take your pci-e frequency setting off of auto. I think that moves up when on auto as you raise the fsb.. I found out the hard way also... I hard set mine at 100 just to take it easy on my cards... 110 I got all kinds of corrupted graphics when there was a lot of movement on the screen.Quote:

I've been wondering what might be causing the flashes I've been seeing. My 'cheap' 7300GS didn't seem to have any problems before I used the 'Overclock 30%' profile. I'll set that frequency by hand and see if the flashes stop...Quote:

During post when the Jmicron SATA/IDE controller identifies attached hardware, does everyone else get the "Press any key to continue ..." prompt with a short pause, even when you have set the IDEO timeout setting or whatever in BIOS to 0 seconds?
Has any fellow impatient out there figured out a way to bypass or avoid this pause/prompt?
Actually that's slightly wrong. XE chips are the exception to the rule.Quote:

XE chips were able to have their multipliers changed in the BIOS long before the latest BIOS came out which made it possible for ES and Retail (yes, Step 5 ES is no different to retail in terms of not being able to change multipliers in BIOS).
So it's likely when you set the mulitplier to 6x on an XE, it will POST at 6xFSB, not its default multiplier of 11x. ES and Retail on the other hand appear to boot (or try to) at whatever their factory multiplier is before the BIOS clocks it down ala CrystalCPUID.
That's why they need so much vCore for lower multipliers even when the actual clockspeed (once its actually using the multiplier) is much lower.
Got a different revision of the P5W mobo, swapped it in and... RAM is still reported as 1.62GB so that probably rules out the mobo too.Quote:

7300GT - tried different cards
Win XP = tried totally clean install without drivers
I'm totally stumped.
My 3DFuzion 7300GS is supposed to swipe 256MB of system RAM to become a 512MB card, so maybe that's what's happening to you, too?...Quote:
