ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[hotchoc]

I'm having some weird boot up problems now. Few days ago everything was ok. Bios 701.

I am running stable at 1.35Vcore at 355X9. Everything else is on auto except ram timings 4-4-4-12. Othe CPU abilities are disabled

Sometimes the screen will go black and nothing will happen. Sometimes after i changed the settings and exit the bios, it will just remain in a black screen after the exit and i need to unplug the power to reset it to normal.

355X9 @1.35Vcore = post (CURRENT)
360X9 @1.3625 Vcore = post
365X9 @1.4 Vcore = just black screen
370X9 @1.4 Vcore = just black screen
400X9 @1.45 ~ 1.5Vcore = just black screen
405X8 @1.35 Vcore = post
410X8 @1.4 vcore = just black screen
450X8 @1.45 ~ 1.5 Vcore = just balck screen

check your cables...replace them.

when do they disappear?

well thats a no brainer!!!! thank you very much

what happens with p5b-d when you do not install jmicron driver with initial o/s at the "f6" option?

[china]

I didn't install anything with that F6-option and everything runs fine with a single SATA drive.

Tried this - still hitting a FSB430 wall...

I`m think I will need ASUS repair kit any time soon

BTW - if this is incompatibility with the memory - will switch from 8000UL to 6400C4 help ?

Another issue i am having is that the power button on the computer doesn't shut down the computer when it is pressed it only shuts off the monitor. I couldn't find anything in the bios for this.

anyone know anything about this?

[Kakulukia]

Go in control panel, then energy settings. Search for ''buttoms''.

Default bios settings are correct.

i got p5b deluxe, e6600 and corsair 6400c4 and the ram is really pissing my off, i cant have the timings at 4-4-4-12 and go past something like 9x330, and if i change the multi it wont work, but if i set the ram timings to auto or whatever i can get to 9 x 400 but the timings are some thing like 5-6-6-18
ps. im new to all this

try lowering your ram voltage (~1,9V)

[deadlock7]

Guys i had several 975 boards and i decided to buy a 965 one..p5b dlx.Could you plz tell me should i have to format my raid 0 raptors?(if anyone has changed from 975 to 965).
I'd also like to now if there is any sign(serial or smth else) which identifies revc2 of the 965.

Nobody (with raid) moved from 975 to 965?

[dr_sharp]

Nobody (with raid) moved from 975 to 965?

Why wouldn't you have to format them?

[deadlock7]

Because my last board died (p5wdh) and i'd prefer not to format.Otherwise i'll have to go to a friend of mine to back up some files..

[Kakulukia]

You have to format it. Even if ur friend has p5w dh. the Raid array is lost. And when u make a new array, u ll need to format the whole array/partitions.

2thegooche= try higher voltage, 2.3V? 2.35V?

[TaPaKaH]

Return to my problem (P5B Deluxe + 8000UL = 427MHz maxFSB)
-tried PCI-E freq = 110 & 120 MHz
-tried another CPU (E6700 with x6,x7,x8 and x9 multis)

Still the same problem

Do you know the ram will handle higher frequences? Have you tried all the voltages? Maybe you just got a bad card.

[TaPaKaH]

I tested these RAMs on a Vmodded P5B vanilla board - that`s what I got : http://images.people.overclockers.ru/95784.png

Yes, I tried all the voltages

[metalazzo]

is your nb hot ? try to cool it or to put some artic ceramic under the asus rad

[TaPaKaH]

I tried chillin` it (-14C) - still 430MHz wall

[metalazzo]

did you turn "static read control" OFF ?
and don't worry, you're not the only one to hate this ing motherboard

[Pjoeloe]

OC is just luck, doing 500 mhz fsb here

[Concorde Rules]

heh, since I got my Tuniq Tower 120 everything has slotted into place.

Maxed out my chipset, mem and CPU at 441x8, 3.525ghz

No dual reboots, no none starting boots, no PCI-E 1x bugs. Nothing.

Works like a charm.

Just got to do the Vdroop pencil mod so I can drop the Vcore

CR.

[Kakulukia]

Totally agree, luck.

About static read control, the auto option is ''disable''.

2tam, any updates ?
Tomorrow i ll be buying new speakers

ALL the bios after the 0614 have the BUG that all time we restart computer the LINK Width run x1 instead of x16 .

thats why im using 0614 , i prefer have the colboot instead of clear cmos all time i restart my computer or change any setting in bios .

And with Bios 0614 you dont need to do nothing in BIOS , you can use any setting that the bios always run LINK WIDTH x16


lets hope that ASUS solve this problem with 0804 OFFICIAL .

BTW: BIOS 0711 , 0801 Beta and 0804 Beta all of them have that BUG of LINK WIDTH x1


regards

[JoeBar]

I assume u're using 1.65 vmch.

does anyone know why i'm closer to 150 instead of 300 MS/s? with my drive? is somthing set incorrectly?
