ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[DutchBBQ]

Read back a few pages.

Oops, sorry!

Anyone else experience "a not very loud" sound output using the onboard realtek sound card ? I'm using the latest drivers, R1.57. The output is plugged into a monitor with built in speakers. Windows volume is at max and so is the monitors speaker volume. The audio lead is plugged into the green socket.

[scaramonga]

Yeah.......sound has always been low for some reason?........all at MAX here

[infrared]

Hmm, i've never had any probs with the onboard sound. The volume and sound quality is very good imo.

Volume is in the ear of the behearer.

I'm not fond of the sound levels, but I'm not going to put a PCI soundcard in just yet, in case the onboard drivers fix it eventually...

I have updated to the most current ethernet driver and still get booted after an hour of online gaming. Can overclocking cause this? I know for sure it's not my cable co. or route

You're not giving us a lot information, actually you're not giving us any information at all

Which router are you using ?
Are you hard-setting the IP or using the routers' DHCP Server ? [ might be the DHCP IP lease setting causing this ]

[infrared]

In regards to overclocking possibly causing your problems, if your computer is stable enough to play the game in the first place, it's probably not going to be the cpu or ram. It could be the PCI frequency though. What have you got the pci lock set at? It should be at 100mhz, anything over 115mhz and most things like sata and graphics go nuts.

Like BenchZowner said though, not enough information! :p

I have two of these boards and have been having some issues which I believe involve the mobo having some sort of FSB wall.

I can keep both of my E6600's @ 3.6Ghz (1.41v & 1.48v) running 24/7 folding on both cores. I have had each board up to 4GHz for benching purposes.....

Under DICE I have hit the same clocks!!!It is as if there is no difference at all. I can not go above 440~445 w/ either mobo or chip.

But when I stuck in a Pentium 640 & Pentium D 805 in I was able to hit 5GHz w/ no problems at all.

Just want to confirm that there really is some type of FSB limitation w/ the P5W
and it is not the CPU.

Any help greatly appreciated

I do have it set at 100mhz. Below are my computer specs:

Corsair 520
E6600 @ 3001
P5w DH Deluxe
WD 250 SATA
EVGA 7800Gt
X-Fi Fatality
Liteon Combo litescribe
Pioneer DVD

On average it's 440-450 FSB Wall!!! If you want to go higher cooling the NB and voltmodding comes in.

I have to check regarding DHCP but I did not have problems with my ECS board.

hello eveybidy first time poster. and im desperate
asus psw dh deluxe
asus 8800gts
2 gb ocz ram
320 seagate barracuda
pioneer 112
pioneer111
bios updated 1901
xp sp2 updated
after reformating with 2 dvd drives connected everything looks fine. untill i insert a disc.
ive tried setting one to master and one to slave. ive also tried both set to cable select.

clicking on the dvd icons shows no problems until you load a disc. any disc, cd audio or dvd movie.

as soon as i load a disc and click on an icon the pc hangs. the second i eject the disc the pc springs back to life.

so i removed the dvd drives and fitted two crappy old cd roms. one set to master and one set to slave. i put an audio cd in and it played right away. i tried both cd roms and both worked fine.

so im thinking "is this a pioneer problem?" i removed the 2 crappy cd roms and replaced them with a lite on dvd writer and an aopen dvd player, set to master and slave. i stuck a cd in and the pc froze again. i replaced that with a dvd and the same again.

ive replaced the ide cable 6 times. 3 forty ribbons, 3 80 ribbons.
ive tried it with one dvd drive connected, ive tried the drive set to master, slave and cable select. and ive tried it on both cable connectors.

ive reformatted 4 times with different xp's and they have been fully updated.

so now im thinking why is it only playing up with dvd drives?
i dont know what to try now. could it be a faulty mobo all along?
cheers

Have you noticed small Dolby icons at the bottom of the Realtek application? These settings do affect the loudness of playback and are also responsible for a small, but not exactly negligible (up to 3%) CPU utilization even when doing nothing.

Sensor Type should be Winbond W83627EHG, maybe that's why your temps are off...

what should i do?

[markq4xprt]

but isnt it this one?

i found out on the board




my setup

[markq4xprt]

where is the motherboard temperature located?

[LivingL@rGe81]

where is the motherboard temperature located?

On the SB as it says in the first post mate!

I wanted to know is it worth upgrading the cooling on the SB? Will it boost stability at high FSB's?

where is the temp diode/probe exactly on the board, is it inside the south bridge?

how about the north bridge temp?


dont know since im just a newbie on intel though i have hr05-sli on south

ASUS P5W DH Deluxe issues

So here's the deal,

I built a pc using the P5W DH Deluxe MoBo.

No issues there but from time to time it looses it's brains and won't Boot. It starts the boot then gets a "NTLDR not found msg".

So, we crawl into the BIOS and we find the drives have been swapped!

The HD config is:

2xWD1500AFAD's in RAID 1 on the intel SATA's 1 & 2 (mislabeled as 3)

2xWD5000KS in RAID 1 on an Adaptec PCI CTLR.

Anyone have any ideas?

The BIOS is at 1707 BTW.. happend at earlier bios levels also

TIA

I have to check regarding DHCP but I did not have problems with my ECS board.

Just go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections and doubleclick on your Network Connections' icon.
Check out the "Support" tab, if "Address Type" says "Assigned by DHCP" then you're using your router's DHCP Server ( perhaps the DHCP IP Lease is 1 hour, so it might be releasing the IP every hour ).

If you're using DHCP, try setting the IPs manually, and check if your issue insists.
