ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

[some_one]

got a modded bios for the "Pro" ?

What needs to be modified is outlined in post #499 but requires a little knowledge of EFI. Once Stoned is happy and the instructions are easily understood I'll look at the PRO for you if nobody else has.

thanks I'll be looking forward to this as the talk of bricking boards and none available at present has me really nervous

A quick question here - why wont those 1305 BIOS`s show up in the asustek support site ?
It feels somewhat safer for me to download the file from their servers , especially after my little corrupted BIOS experience with my deluxe mobo .

Some benchmarks of WD Caviar Blue 1TB WD10EALX on Intel 6Gbps and Marvell 9120.
Marvell clearly has problems with write.

I've had this issue from day one! Its my SSD that goes missing. I have to go into boot and re-prioritize(sp) it all the time. RPITA

same here with C300,it happen once on gray port and navy blue (Marvell)
"drive not detected"

because they brick bios chips..GaryK won't even mention this issue

So 1204 still best bios for p8p67 pro?

What does event viewer say?

This: The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period. There are several of these.

Got this a couple times too: The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur.

I'm testing a click or two more ram voltage right now.

You have an issue with the intel sata controller. Either that or the drive attached to it.

Frosty, the modded BIOS is a solution for those wanting to rollback from 1305 / 1204 to an older BIOS which is currently prohibited on some ASUS boards. It will not do anything to help with bricked boards or prevent boards from being bricked.

Does anyone remember how to fix the "non detection of PCI X-Fi soundcards"?

I think I've tried everything I can recall, and read on the internet.

I have this in my device manager


and when I try to install the X-Fi drivers, I get this error message:


God damn enoying

[crazyea]

As far as I know, when installing xfi drivers you always need to start with the supplied disc and then update frome there, else you will get that error message.

Kinda hard to install a driver for a device that doesn't get recognized

Have you tried to disable the Realtek HD Audio? It seams some kind of HW-conflict.

Strange thing, Realtek audio is disabled in bios. My X-Fi card is in the PCI 1 slot, and is lit - but doesn't get detected by windows and device manager.
I remember I had problem with the first time I installed the new SB system, but got it to work somehow. But can't recall

[bito]

Try the other pci slot and if it installs there, then try moving it back and see what happens.

Just switched to the other PCI-slot, no difference :/

So what are you saying? You are using the driver disc that came with your audio card or a driver that was downloaded from creative?

I had this problem (exact error message) before and the issue was using an updated driver without having ever installed the initial driver from the disc. Once I used the driver on the disc and then updated it, there wasnt any issues.

Now, there is an obvious entry in your device manager for an audio card. Therefore windows does recognize it, it just doesnt have a driver installed for it.

If my above suggestion does not work, then sorry I couldnt be of help.

Np - thanks for trying.

I have the former X-Fi Fatality card, which uses a PCI slot, and the CD is so outdated, that is says that this version of Windows is not supported, obviously I'm on 7.

[crazyea]

Maybe someone, a member here perhaps, or even creative themseleves can get you and updated disc? I mean this problem is so common, you would think that they would have a fix for it and not force people to use old drivers from the disc.

EDIT: Anyway, there is a ton of posts on google about this issue. Search "creative x-fi fatal1ty setup is unable to detect a supported product on system"

Is anyone having a problem with wireless keyboard/mouse? I tried a Microsoft wireless (2.4Ghz) desktop and had frequent 2-10 second freezes where nothing was received by the computer. The wired keyboard/mouse with the same driver have no problem. P8P67 Deluxe. The problem also occurred with an older Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse.

You may have a issue with the bluetooh instalation. Disable Bluetooh in bios or install the drivers and software regarding bluetooth.

[yym789]

As mentioned earlier in the thread, page 20, it can be possible to rollback.

Let me know if you want to risk it.

Can you Pm me
P8P67 pro mod bios ? I want to downgrade my 1305.


1305 bios can not use SLI. !!!!!!

The bluetooth drivers are installed. I've tried disabling it in device manager.

Disabling it the BIOS will make a difference? What if I wanted to use the bluetooth to sync my phone?
