PLL voltage is kinda high, try 1.54 or 1.56v. FSB Term. is a bit high too, try 1.3v. Your Vcore might be a bit low too, increase it to 1.35-1.4v

I will try to give that a shot later tonight perhaps...Quote:

Upon changing the ram back to my original stuff it booted no problems, put 1200mhz ram back in and everythings back to normal. Long winded explanation, I know!
Any ideas about this one Ket? I'll try and replicate it again when I get some time.
Cheers!
Just sounds like the board had a odd fickle moment. Sometimes you get weird things like that :shrug:
I have the deluxe 1702 BIOS, and no matter what I do, 500fsb wont work. High 490s is fine.
Used up to 1.4vcore (1.365 is fine for 490)
Up to 1.3 VTT
GTL refs to .67 each
PLL at 1.58-1.6
NB up to 1.3
My ram is good up to 1070ish with stock volts and timings, so its not them.
Also, I am having boot issues, even at stock, where it will come on, but wont display an image, untill I restart it a hundred times and randomly get lucky. And I know the 280 is fine, it doesnt artifact at all, and runs in the 50c range idle, high 60s load.
Sounds like you may have a particularly weak SB. My P5Q Pro had random boot problems like that even at stock. Probably RMA time.
Asus P5Q's seem to be hit-or-miss for 500+ fsb. I have a Pro, but it doesn't like 500 either, best I can do is in the low 490's. I had my current E8600, same ram, and everything else in a system with a DFI LP JR P45 and I could run it easily at 518 fsb at an 8.5 multi. But not with the Pro.Quote:

The reason I sold the DFI is that there was an issue with the PCI-E Link Width and my GTX280. The DFI is supposed to be at 8x but mine often would only boot at 4X. There are other reports of this issue happening, with other Nvidia cards as well. Yet ATI's are fine with that board.
At least the Pro is always at 16x:rolleyes:
I dunno, both my Pros done 500FSB, but the one I sent in for RMA a few days ago has always been the weaker board, and it finally started giving up. SO for me at least, I'd say 500FSB isn't hit and miss, but with early rev. P5Q series boards they had teething problems for sure.
Yes, I think if I had a later revision it may do better. I have pondered going back to a DFI but that link width issue has been reported with other versions of their LP P45 boards and Nvidia cards as well, on the DFI Forums.Quote:

As I mentioned I was going to do in a previous post, I swapped out my GSkill ram and put back the Team set, they are working well with the 1613M bios. Also fitted the Enzotech sink on the sb, along with all the other aftermarket heatsinks it's running nice and cool.
GL on OCing further :up:
I haven't been round lately, been busy working and going to school and raising my daughter. I just wanted to pop up and say hello. This thread has grown so much lmao.
I also on a side note have been having issues as of late with my setup for some reason but, I went crossfire with 2 4870 1GB cards. I thought maybe this is just bugginess from the cards / ATI's driver suport. Last night I decided to do a burntest and sure enough instant lock up.
I switched the CME option to optimized and in Vista , boom instant BSOD. I started trying to switch back to either 0806 or 1406 BIOS because I was using this :banana::banana::banana::banana: new one they came out with "1803" and was NEVER ABLE TO GET THAT CHIP TO GO BACK TO 1406.
I tried the asus update with downgrade checked, nope, "it told me the eeprom wasn't compatible?" tried the afudos thingy, nope. Afudos kept telliing me it couldn't read the bios file, I'm guessing it was talking about the 1406 one but, maybe it was talking about the one on that chip:shrug:.
I then finally after trying for a couple of hours "had to look through post to find tools exc" I finally said :banana::banana::banana::banana: it and switched to my backup chip and just flashed it to 1406. Went back into Vista burntested my :banana::banana::banana::banana: and boom issue resolved.
What's up with that ? :shrug:. I know I could hot flash it but nah. I think I still actually have another BIOS chip sitting some where "I say some where because I just moved". Ahh any way if you feel like chiming in on something I didn't mention here, please do. KET your the man :up:. How's that buisness going?
Business is good :D You may of seen the thread already but in general hardware I made a thread showing people how I got Crapative X-Fi software fully functioning on any Realtek HDA chip, the audio quality difference is staggering! Also, you can use AFUDOS to get out of your situation you were in, but you must DL the version I attached to one of my posts, its the only version that will let you do it :up: You might want to sniff through my newly uploaded BIOS pack as well, EVERY BIOS that has been released for the P5Q/Pro/E/Deluxe/Premium has been newly updated!
Ok this is what I tried last nightQuote:

I will look real quick and see if you have changed that now. I had been having issues for like a month and just never bothered to trouble shoot because it wasn't that bad. :rofl: My system should be alot smoother now that I have the backup chip on the 1406 version. One thing is for sure, my MB has been kicking longer then any one elses I have seen on here posting. :up: Guess me running my Q9450 @ 3.85GHZ since I got this motherboard hasn't hurt it yet :clap:. I will check out that sound card thing you mentioned.
Well, I think I've had plain bad luck with my 2 Pros. First one CPU fan sensor started to die, and the 2nd board I just sent in for RMA had a very weak SB. Got to the stage of sometimes it wouldnt boot even with stock settings :rolleyes:

I went to grab that modded 0806 last night and the link was dead for it.
If the link was down last night, its fine now. :shrug:
The link was down for the 0806 that you orginally wrote for me special. Remember, because of the whole CME option that was wreaking havoc on C1 steeping CPUs. Funny thing is that they can't keep their code straight even after solving the issue :rofl: Me rolling back to BIOS 1406 has solved all the weird issues I have been having. I am really supprised because this whole time I thought I had a driver issue going on as that is what the logs were even pointing at. :ROTF:Quote:

Can you please tell Me what the Bios after 1406 have that is not working like on 1406?
Tnx
I don't know how far up the ladder it goes this time because I just said hell with it and went back to the 1406. Maybe the other ones are fine up to the 1806 :shrug:. It has something to do with that CME thing again though I bet.Quote:

Will there be a BIOS MOD for the i7 ? I am planning to get the i7 for my gaming system and see if there is any bios mod for the asus board before deciding on the X58 board.
Thanks again for all the bios mod KET.
Have new P5Q bios 2002
I wonder if that means they fixed the issue I just brought up already with the 1806?? It was pretty obvious that they messed up again.Quote:

I have a big Problem. I cant get my system stable with manual choosed strap. WTF? But with Auto + Strap 400 Memory divider it is stable but the Memory is too high overclocked, because i have to choose Strap Auto and DDR2 - 1133 (850 would be also possible but it isnt in the list to choose) for stability otherwise prime large error. If I choose Strap 400 + DDR2 - 1133 or 851 = BOOTLOOP ?! WTF ?!Code:BIOS 1406m - Q6600 mit 3400 Mhz

Is that a Bios bug or what? It is so:confused: because 1133 is a Strap 400 divider!
Its also with the original Asus Bios!
For example
Strap 200 - Prime Large Errors (Memtest Error Test 5 after 0.5 min)
Strap 266 - Prime Large Errors (Memtest Error Test 5 after 0.5 min)
Strap 333 - Prime Large Errors (Memtest Error Test 5 after 0.5 min)
Strap 400 - BOOTLOOP Why I can't choos Strap 400 manual ? o0
Strap Auto - !Prime Custom STABLE! but Errors in GoldMemory <-- I cant solve these Problems with Timings or Dram Voltage Any conclusion? Why i have these little Errors? Why i can't get get Strap 333 stable ?!
I also tested all these Settings:
Strap: Auto + DDR2 - 851 --> Memtest Error Test 5 after 0.5 min
Strap: Auto + DDR2 - 1021 --> Memtest Error Test 5 after 0.5 min
Strap: Auto + DDR2 - 1066 --> Memtest Error Test 5 after 0.5 min
Strap: Auto + DDR2 - 1133 --> No Prime Large Error, but 1 GoldMemory Error
Strap: Auto + DDR2 - Auto --> Memtest Error Test 5 after 0.5 min
higher isn't possible
I hope you can help me!

I like it alot better and when my system was stable and I learned the hard way with prime, intelburntest would pass which is harder on the system then prime any way and prime would fail but, I never had any instability issues at all so prime was the culprit.
To keep it shorter for you, use intelburntest not prime. Other thing to note, turn off the overclock charger. Also turn off the CPU features. When your processor is overclocked you really don't want the system trying to clock down when idle, this could very well be causing your issues but, I am not sure because you didn't post those settings. Another note, figure out what strap you want to use, then ask what PL setting you should be using on this forum post and some one I'm sure will tell you what PL setting to use.
The reasoning behind me saying this is that the straps will mess you up if you have the wrong PL setting for that certain strap you are wanting to use, not set right. I think that should keep you busy and should resolve your issues. :up:
When i disable OC Charger = Bootlopp :(
Maybe it is someting with PL but i also tried higher PL's and it doesn't work :(
What should i do? ... :(
Here are the additional Settings: Maybe C1E but why it work "well" with Auto Strap + DDR2 - 1133 It is so confusig, that i cant use Strap 400 Manual, but at Auto...
