ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[sesdave]

Well after running with the 2301 and 2302 bios' for a few days I decided that I really don't like either!! I believe the 2301 is just a bit stronger. So I put afudos 2.11 on a floppy and my favorite 2004bios on and rebooted just like clock work everything went smooth as silk. Uh hey I'm WeldZilla everything always goes that way for me!! At the prompt I typed in
afudos/iP5WDH.rom and hit enter and it was off to the bios races 10%,17%,28%, 39%, 48%, 59%, 67% and then the floppy stopped it wait awhile and then came the post.... FAILED!! options- abort,retry, fall on your sword!!
So this is when you need to stay cool. I went to one of my other systems
downloaded afudos and snagged an older bios 1901 put it all on a fresh new floppy and returned to my machine. I pulled the bad floppy and put in the fresh one. Got the prompt and started again. This time the floppy was a good one and I flashed back to 1901. When I got my system back up I used Asus update and loaded up the 2004 bios from a file on my system. I went back through the bios setting up my system and i am happy to report that I am running at 425 fsb @ 3825 with a whole lot more authority tha either the 2301 or the 2302 could provide my system with. Lawry I will try yours soon.
Why did this work out in the end so well? Hey I am WeldZilla and that's the way it is!!

Way to go - I do so enjoy coming back and reading the posts on this thread since I upgraded to the P5K Premium. The MB may be better than the P5W but the threads aren't half as much fun!
