At that point it's looking for something to boot from. Do you have a flash drive, non bootable CD or diskette inserted?Quote:

I see you are using SATA optical drives, the problem is most likely involving them. Check that the SATA mode you have selected is correct for the optical drives (Native would be my first guess). Also check that the firmware on the drives is up to date.Quote:

Has anyone found a utility that will allow you to up the fan speed in vista of the fans attached to the xbx2 headers? I used IDCC in XP to manually increase the header fan speeds for me but IDCC doesn't work in vista! My cpu runs a good 8-10C hotter in vista than it does in XP according to TAT and the ability to up my header fan speeds will shave off a good 2-3C for me like it does in XP. Any info would be really appreciated.
Vista has the audio drivers included. Loading the Intel ones causes the conflict.Quote:

Scan for new hardware.
Alfredo just updated Speedfan to control the chip on our boards. Still in beta so you may have to register to get it.. 4.32 beta 17Quote:

I have the BX2 with a QX6700 and I am cooking along at 3.33 (10x333)- I can go upto 348x10= 3.48.
I am using the Tuniq Tower, OCZ PC2-5400 at 1.92 Volts. CPU Stock Voltage. C1E, EIST and Watchdog is OFF.
Keep us posted, please.
I just tried the speedfan beta and it doesnt do anything to my fan speed. I changed it to 100% but they never increased like they do in idcc. I dont think it works right yet.
I need more volts to get windows up and stable, 3.6GHz prime stable is about 1.44v idle/1.4v load, maybe a tad more (but it's just too hot to let it run long term that way on air). I already posted at 4.1 GHz when I first put the chip in the Asus board because I had never reset the BIOS on it and had no intention of taking out the 6600 that was in it and overclocked. Volts then were at like 1.6 and fsb at 401, though temps were 70*C idle haha. BUT, I think this chip would fly under phase. With my tuniq I would keep it at 3.2 GHZ since I can do 3.2 GHz prime stable at 1.3v idle/1.26v load.Quote:

I just got my D975XBX2, and i do have some problems with the Multiplier-lowering to 6...
I have disabled C1E in configuration-Mode, i have not overclocked the CPU, i disabled VT and EIST and still the CPU lowers the multiplier when in idle mode.
How can i force the Board to disable ALL powersaving stuff?
Its pretty annoying because it can cause framerate drops when gaming.
RMclock works. just set it up so that it loads at start up and it'll disable EIST.Quote:

And actually i do have RMClock, but i dont wanna use a software for what one SHOULD be able to disable in the BIOS.
I might just return this board to the store... Fan-control doesnt work either...
Is this the case with all xbx2 bios atm?Quote:

Yep. C1E has always been broken as far as I know.Quote:

With well tuned phase I should be well into the 4's (I hope) on GHz with volts well below the 1.6v mark.

That's because most people are using cpu-z and it wasn't reporting correctly until version 1.89 which just came out. It was reporting the max multiplier, not the current multipler.Quote:

You said your were working with Intel to solve that. (Which i do appreciate!)
Does that signify you are an employee at Intel?
Because i dont think they would change the (next) BIOS if you just told them :(
