Try updating your UEFI to 2.0, your issue is a known one but I forget which board it showed up on first. Updating the UEFI will probably fix your problem.

Heya.
Specs first:
Asrock P67 Pro3, bios 1.90
2500K
Xai mouse
Sometimes it takes 1-20 seconds for USB devices to get connected. The Xai problem with legacy USB is also present so I've turned legacy off. Extreme4 seems to have a fix for the Xai problem, any word on future updates for Pro3?
Another problem is when using offset mode and overclocking. Let's say I put +0.005V there to get 1.37 vcore under prime/linx load. Under lighter load, like games, it can drop down to 1.24-1.28 V, and sooner or later there's a lock-up due to too low vcore. Because of this I have to use fixed voltage for now.
The problem with the disappearing LLC setting needs fixing as well (when auto vcore is not used).
I've made a note of those issues and will inform my contacts, without that board myself to test its difficult to prescribe solutions. It would be useful to know which USB devices can take up to 20 seconds to connect.
Xai mouse does that, and occasionally it gets disconnected as well for that same time. Another one is my Logitech driving force pro wheel, though no disconnections with it so far. This is with USB2 ports in the back.Quote:

With 2.0 latest bios the LLC option is activ only on stock settings or stock cpu voltage.
It dissapears under overclocking.
Also the board could work better with memory.
I speak about PSC memory chips based not Elpida.
I have some memory Mach Xtreme ArmorX 1600 CL7-7-7-21 1.65v 2*2GB kit PSC chips which can work in Asus or Gigabyte at 2133 CL 7-9-7-21 but on Asrock don't boot, only at 8-9-8-21.
And they need a little more voltage than on other boards, some 0.03v more.
Here is also what i succeseded with P67 PRO3 and a very bad chip(4.5ghz 1.35v, 4.8ghz 1.46v)...

Ket, just a heads up that all the driver links on the first post page using megaupload are now inaccessible (FBI anti-piracy warning).
Don't panic people I'm aware of the megaupload issue. Links will be up again when I've finished rebuilding all my archives >.<
Driver package is back up folks and is fully updated with all the latest drivers, UEFIs will follow.
Etron 1.00.0000.0109 Pour Windows Xp/Vista/7 32/64bits

^^ Already included with my latest driver package ;)
Etron launches new USB 3.0 Host and device ICs.

"Both EJ198 and EJ188 have four USB 3.0 ports and reserve backward compatibility with USB 2.0"
I've heard that lie before.
We all suspected EJ168 had a design flaw, the new controllers migh add a few extra USB3 ports but I suspect thats a mask and the real reason for the new controllers is to fix the flaw EJ168 has/had.
hey ket ..
somehow i click the download lastest driver link .. it would show this Download not available
The following download is not available:
Download parameters invalid - please try again later in the R share site ... is it down or u are currently updating the drivers still...
Thanks
Download link is valid.
Hey, been a while since I last checked this thread out. Just out of curiosity, which EFI version are you guys all using at the moment? Anyone liking the new beta version, or are you guys sticking to older efi versions?
For me, UEFI 2.0 and 2.1E work best. Forget UEFI 2.1, its a bit buggy.
I've had a couple of isolated freeze-ups with UEFI 2.0 during boot (sits at the UEFI screen, requiring a hard reset); but it's rare...
Is your system OCd? If not I'd suggest roll back to UEFI 1.9 or try UEFI 2.1E.
No overclock, so I'm not sure where those freeze-ups came from. I'm a little hesitant to try the newer or older UEFIs as--for some reason--have had a bad crash that cripples Windows on boot up at the Win logo swirl (right after flashing the UEFI). I've tried clearing the CMOS, etc. beforehand as advised and no longer use Marvell SATA drivers, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Reinstalling Windows always clears the error though.Quote:

Advice noted--thanks! Looks like hddguru.com has just the utility for this, too.
ASRock P67 Pro3 UEFI 2.02C
Changelog:
Quote:
Improve keyboard and mouse compatibility under BIOS. (UEFI 2.00d)
LLC Option does not remove when CPU-volatge is changed (UEFI 2.00b)
Fixes GFLOPs Drop-Problem (UEFI 2.02b)
Download: http://www.pctreiber.net/asrock-bios-downloads?did=412
The file from there has 8MB. On Asrock site bios files have 2.88MB.
It can be flashed under DOS, or with Instant Flash?
OMG Have you heard of compression?
Use Instant Flash.
Sorry it's first time when i update the bios for P67 PRO3 because i bought it with 2.00 bios version. I didn't realized that extracted the bios from Asrock site has too about 8MB.
Thank you for bios link. :)
