Bogi

yes, one stick by last 10 min. only 3,67vdimm
now i searche one stick for ln2 bench
after ln2 bench i sell all my dothan/sonoma hardware
i have yonah at home, :D

what's the gain from u-wire over bios on p4p800 se/p4c800?

does it not droop as much as bios?

Cheers

It'll still droop whether you set it in BIOS or do the u-wire mod. You need to do the droop mod to stop it from getting voltage fluctuations.

And it only gives you up to 1.55V, where the latest bios gives upu to 1.6V.

The trick wire mod can get up to ~1.8v IIRC.

I did the u-wire and set the voltage in the BIOS to auto, use Systool to lower voltage when not benching ... CPU doesn't oc any higher on more voltage so the 1.55v works fine... but I did notice on my P4P800-E that when I set the the built in BIOS overclock to 10- 30% the voltage in ASUS Probe reports 1.64v ... I havent verified it with a mm ... thought it might help anyone trying to get just a tad more ..

Attention all P4GD1 owners: the vdimm mod for this board is now sorted, point your browsers this way

I got my rig fully working now, my results in my topic...

If anyone can add me to the Pi and 3DMark lists on Page 1, my current scores are in my sig.

Thanks

How ?

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...id=31255&stc=1

I did this mod and my vcore would only give me 1.45-1.55Vcore in the bios and when set to 1.55 it was running 1.55.

Hi,

First post! Can anyone help with my startup problem? I'm running a P4GD1 and Dothan which worked very well until I changed the power supply. Now when it boots up, I get a Boot Block Compatible Version message (Asus CrashFree, I think) and am prompted to insert a CD or floppy.

I have tried the following things to narrow down the problem and still get the same error message:
- reverted back to old power supply
- brand new BIOS chip with 1006.
- brand new motherboard (Asus P4GPL-X)
- brand new CT-479
- RAM from another computer

I borrowed a Pentium 4 and it booted up fine. It seems the likely explanation is now a faulty CPU.

It seems strange that a faulty CPU would cause Asus CrashFree to activate. I assume that the CrashFree program runs instructions on the CPU, so surely the CPU can't be completely dead.

Any ideas if there's anything I can try before I buy a new CPU?

Thanks.

this happens to me when the FSB is set too high, tho I guessing you changed to a "better" PSU with your upgrade. Have you tried runnig wit heverything in BIOS at stock?

test your cpu in someone's laptop

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'm sitting here with a pile of bits trying to get it to work!

Just tried putting P4 in, setting FSB to 100Mhz, then putting in Dothan. Same problem.

I've already tried setting the BIOS to defaults. It also does the same thing on a brand new P4GPL-X (with the correct bios).

Don't think I know anything with a suitable laptop that would be willing for me to disassemble it.

Any other BIOS settings that might make a difference?

James.

do you have another ct-479 (2nd) available? the adapter might be borked somehow...
11-22-2005, 03:15 PM
JamesG

Yep, received a new CT-479 in the post today. Made no difference. I really was expecting that to be the problem.
11-22-2005, 04:32 PM
Johnny Bravo

Yeah sounds like it could be CPU problem, tho just to check as cirthix says, try to test CPU independantly before getting a new one. Hope you get somewhere with it!

Sounds like CPU problem since you tried two adapters already. I had the SAME problem right before my CT-479 adapter blew a chip.

Return the CPU and get one of those high clocking 780s. :D

By doing the tricky mod. Look on the first page.

have you damaged the core in any way? chips or cracks?

I don't think so. The chip was working fine for a couple of weeks until I changed the PSU (from Enermax uATX 270W to Seasonic uATX 250W).

The CPU is pretty much the only thing left to replace though! I just don't understand how the CrashFree utility is able to run if the CPU is dead. I'm not aware of PC motherboards having another CPU just to run BIOS recovery. Obviously if the CPU is out when you power up a board, you just get a blank screen.
