How do i fix this?
i have the same issues with booting. however i didn't have it with the older bios, but do with the newer 804. once i boot into windows, i am stable (orthos all night stable) but i have issues booting and restarting....

I am not sure, but I have same problems, cant install, I test four different drives (2 DVD, 2CD), different drivers, but still the same, black screen and freeze during installation before I can select drive where I want to install, 2 days of testing in many combinations (I stupid, why I bought this one:slapass: ). On monday i will try to claim itQuote:

I went from running 1.3250 to 1.3125v after the bios and no reboots or crashes. Also my memory is now at 4-4-3-4-2-20-3-8-5-8 @ 2.10v respectively in the bios for timings. Orthos @ 24hr+ no faults or errors Blend and Small FFT @ priority 9.
Im gonna look around it a lil more with some different settings, it still doesnt run 4:5 too well though it works a little bit longer than the 0804 but still i get system lockups and whatnot. Any other info welcomed I have screen shots if anyone would like to see my results
I can tell you that with the onboard sound disabled, 1394 disabled, and my wifi disabled on the board as well as floppy disabled it only takes me about 3 complete cycles of the windows load bar to boot into windows. I see little to no delays after running bootvis Trace- Trace - Optimize - Trace - Optimize - Reboot. It takes me nothing to load in, I also use a pretty dismantled Windows XP Pro that ive change a bunch. Windows File Protection off, edited DLL Cache, custom boot screen and a bunch of other garbage cleanups like services, windows components i dont need etc. Also have a very small bootup and running prefetcher set to 3 in the registry for Programs and Bootup files (works best imo after several reboots). I guess mileage will vary with model =pQuote:

Other highpoints of my bios I run PCIE freq at 120mhz, and PEG mode of "Faster" so that might have something to do with my being able to clock stuff any higher
EDIT: Sorry for double post
all right.
what's the best way to flash bios?
dos? or asus flashing utility? or winflash?
thanks!
Hi im having some problems with my system and i dont know if they are related to the motherboard or some setting in the bios.
Sometimes when i restart my system will hang/freeze on the windows xp logo (i see the little blue bar that stops moving) before booting up into windows and i have to reset in order to get back up into windows.
my system specs are
intel E6600
asus p5b-deluxe
2 gig corsair xms2
soundblaster x-fi
sapphire radeon x1900 xt
corsair 620w power supply
anyone has any ideas what could be causing this problem? thx for help
Hello everyone!
I have a question
What biosversion is the best to oc with?
I have a Asus P5B DeLuxe motherboard and Intel Conroe E6400.

As far as I know the other than dos utilities is a bios refresh.Quote:

Some people have no issues with winflash but it is the most risky.
I use dos:cool:

For now im gona try and change my power supple and get a silverstone and then put my audigy card back in and see what happens .
if anyone else has any ideas feel free to help out =)
It could also be some setting in the bios , i used to get my mouse to stop workign and the usb keyboard used to freeze and i silved that by disabling usb legacy support in the bios , this is also the second motehrboard i changed so i know its nothing thats broken but has to be a setting or an hardware conflict at boot up. I also dont trust the new catalyst 6.10 drivers i installed =/ every time this happens after a fresh reformat its always after i install the graphic card and the audio card.
I found this thread where other people are experiencing similiar problems but seems no one can find a solution , but i just cant help to notice that everyoen that has this problesm has a soundblaster x-fi card in theyr system go figure http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62995
Ok. This is what I have done:
tested 6 differend IDE rom drives, 2 manufactured sept 2006.
Tested 4 different SATA drives and one SATA 2 drive. tested ALL available settings for these drives and tested to F6 load ALL available drivers for the intel and jmicron controller.
Tested an IDE hdd, and tested with an IDE hdd that had a previous WXP installation on it.
Tested to load all installation files for windows onto the HDD and then to boot from it directly, having the jmicron controller diabled.
Tested Pressed XP Pro SP2, as well as three copies burned on different CDs. Ive also downloaded the "extreme edition XP" (with basically ALL drivers and all hotfixes currently available). This edition has EVERY DRIVER NEEDED included and still it gave the same error.
In BIOS I have tried everything. Pretty much everything has been disabled and I¨ve tried manual settings for frequency, voltage and so on.
The nenory have ben tested with all ossible settings and have been tested with memtest for 13 hrs - no errors.
I have also tried ALL available BIOS versions.
Every time it´s the same error.
"STOP: 0x0000007b" when the windows installation tries to initiate.
That means "inaccessible boot device".
So there are only two possibilities here:
1. The CPU is damaged
2. THe motherboard is fooked.
If someone doesn´t have any great ideas I will smash this board with a sledgehammer later today and forever regret buying this :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty board.
why dont you just RMA it instead of smashing it

Hi,
Not posted to this thread yet, although I've been following it with interest and have read it from the beginning :eek:
Anyway, I have a simple question. Will SATA II drives (and Windows itself) work any better/faster when connected to the Intel controller configured to Enhanced, AHCI in BIOS, or if the controller is configured to Enhanced, IDE?
The reason I ask is that I've also been experiencing some of the issues described in this thread and have a feeling that things work better if I install Windows without using the F6 AHCI drivers.
I don't use RAID, just a single 80GB SATA II drive for OS, and another 250GB SATA II for data (both Seagate).
Also, for my next umpteenth re-installation, I'm thinking not to bother installing any JMicron drivers (and setting it to IDE in BIOS), as when I do, they cause my dvd drive to show as scsi, but if I don't install them, won't I end up with an unknown device in Device Manager? Is this a different unknown device that was mentioned several pages ago, and that apparently can be fixed using the Asus CD?
Thanks!
Ehanced, ACHi and install AHCI drivers in windows (F6).Quote:

It is all workin here.
Thanks Kakulukia, you also replied quickly to some of my other threads. :)
But JMicron causes my optical drives to be recognised as SCSI devices? Some people say this in turn causes them to be slow and not work optimally? Also, I don't use RAID and certainly not on JMicron, so do I need those drivers at all? Is it a question of simply living with that "unknown device" in Device Manager?
Thanks again!
Am running on Raid0 now, and my bootcycle takes 1,7 clicks, could still be improved but I am happy now:) And Xitars, if you have tried that much already then you can safely conclude that it isn't your dvd drive or your harddisks(could still be faulty cables though or kink in the cable). So that leaves CPU and motherboard and my guess goes to CPU, call it a hunch. Fuxed up memcontroller or something. Would be easiest if you went to the store and have them replace your :banana::banana::banana::banana: while you wait so they can see whats wrong.
Same here,but without Raid. Got on 0903 temp problems.
Again on 0804
I noticed the slow boot time & other bugs which drove me nuts. Coming from a very fast raid get this: abit kg7 raid & a putt putt Amd1400 measly oc to 1.5 or something can't remember..& 9700 pro....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't tried to install my old audigy zs plat yet to see if it helps as I am considering getting this board as it is right down the street from me but I have never heard of BFG motherboards!? what do you think
BFG Technologies Nvidia nForce 680i SLI Motherboard
E6600 L628B101
Asus P5-B Deluxe WiFi
OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (PC2 6400)
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI PSU
ATI X1900XTX
$eagete 300GB SATA/300
My New buggy rig or get the BFG & possibly 8800gts
So Should I try the Audigy or Get the BFG??? any suggestions? As I am flippin tired of the darn voltages settings trying to oc this baby & them changing themselves to whatever they want to be....:eek:
p.S. Love the colors & Help c_fun & everyone : great job!

update CONFIG.SYS on diskette
boot comp, CDROM is recognized and loaded succesfully
I can format HD (SATA), I can run some old DOS programs I have,
BUT cant load Win98 setup, comp freeze like when trying install XP
any ideas here?
another P5B Deluxe (BIOS 0804) bug report:
on Vmem=2.15V and lower the mem can`t hit more than 470MHz @ 1:1 , 4:5 , 2:3 (did not try another dividers) no matter what timings
Tried : 2x512MB D9DQT , 2x1024MB D9GMH
Timings (MemSet): 5-4-4-4-10-5-32-3-14-11-6-8-5-5 (tried 5-6-6-6-24-... = the same thing)
BTW - both mem kits can hit 500MHz w/these timings @ 2.15V easy (tested @ P5W64-WS)
