ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[anzial]

aholland, it might be possible that your cpu just can't oc beyond 3ghz

[jagt]

Today i wanted to try my E6700 in P5W DH , rev 1.04g, but after the power on i received the beeps : biiiip ( long ) pause bip-bip-bip.

The system booted up fine ( i see from the keyboard ), but no signal on monitor.

I tried with 3 kits of rams ( with a single dims too ), with 2 vga`s ( 8800gtx, 7900gt ), vga in another PCI-E slot, but nothing .

Now ~week when the board makes this "beeps", after i put one of 8000UL dims in the firs black ram slot, the system stared up fine, but now this method with single DIM doesnt helped me .

Any suggestions?

PS : Sorry for my english, i hope you will understand.

What bios are you running? I've been having similar problems since I flashed to 1901. For me, leaving the system with the PSU switched off over night usally fixes it. It's extremely annoying though!

Does anyone know where I can find the 170X bios? I can't see it on Asus' website.

Edit: Woops, sorry. I need to get some glasses, it seems :P

Have you tried any earlier bioses? I'm gonna try going back to 1707 now, as the problem seemed to appear after I flashed to 1901.

maybe been asked before and i have searched and cant find it but how would i get a 1:1 divider for a overclock ? spec are as sig and i only wish to oc a little bit ive tried 300x8 and ram gets a 3:4 i think it was and then i tried 333x8 and got a different divider so how would i get a 1:1 with a 333x8 oc ? so take my 2.13 to a 2.6 thanks

[lawrywild]

1:1 divider will be DRAM Frequency = 2x FSB

So 667mhz if at 333fsb.

1:1 divider will be DRAM Frequency = 2x FSB

So 667mhz if at 333fsb.

thank you but now during boot up my ram says its 5300 not the usal 6400 so i take it i cant get a 1:1 with ram stayin at 6400 ? thanks

Try using the 4:5 memory divider so where it says mem speed is 667 change it so it says 833 your memory should handle the little overclock no problem

[TR1GG3R]

yea that was the other divider i got b4 but i thought 1:1 was better thats why i was aiming for it

[lawrywild]

yea that was the other divider i got b4 but i thought 1:1 was better thats why i was aiming for it

lol, 1:1 means the DRAM frequency is twice the fsb. You can't have DDR2-800 with 1:1 unless using 400Mhz FSB. You need 4:5 at 333 FSB to hit 833 Mhz ram

[TR1GG3R]

new to oc'n but yea thanks for the help will run it at the 4:5

Have you read any of the recent post on this thread? The latest BIOS is 2004 but depending on what you have and what setting u use its whatever works best for u with your setup as there does not appear to be a lot of difference from 1602-2004. Check the post for peoples different opinions and take your pick. Me - I like 1707 as its never caused me any issues and I get a good stable o.c.

Will /probably be in the next BIOS update. Should be soon, G-0 stepping is on its way

Hi All,

I just installed the Win XP on my new P5W DH on a SATA HD connected to SATA 3 (Black). A really annoying thing is that everytime it boots up, a message showing:
"NO IDE Master HDD Detected" and I have to press F1 to continue.

Do anyone know how to fix this? I can boot up fine but it's just very nagging. I searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution. Probably plugging the drive to SATA 1(Red) will fix it but my HR-05 totally blocked it

Thanks!

RTM, put the drive on the port indicated as boot in the manual. (Sata 1 = boot disk) page 2-34.

EDIT: you did answer your own question.

In the bios under boot/boot configuration, disable the press F1 in case of error.

Hope this helps

Hello !

I'm Spanish, sorry by my bad english.

Nowadays, I have a ASUS P5W DH Deluxe with 2Gb GSKILL PK's, but the problem is that this motheboard don't detect very well the timmings of this memory and I "only" can do 410*8 = 3280 Mhz.

I would like to do 430 or 435*8 and I think this Motheboard can do this because if I put the memory with a divider I hit this frequency without any problems.

Do you know what memories can do it without problems ?

Thank you very much

[imgeorgelin]

Thanks! I did know about this solution but it is said to suppress all the other might-be-useful alerts in case of an error too. But I guess I've got to do it if there's no better way.

In the bios under boot/boot configuration, disable the press F1 in case of error.

Hope this helps

On the side note, what the hell should be done to let drives be recognized as "2nd/3rd/4th" IDE MASTER? Any jumper setting will do? It seems that anything connected to the SATA 3/4 will be recognized as SLAVE (don't know about SATA 1, EZbackup and JMicron one)

Hi,

Can anyone send me a voltage.ini file from MBM and some screens from MBM voltage settings? My MBM shows sick +5V voltage and V-core. My mail: xxwolf@poczta.onet.pl

i have the same problem. i have my raid 0 raptors connected to the ez raid ports. my other 2 devices are in the black ports. whether i change them around or not about 80% of the time my system boots i get this message. if i hit f1 to continue it goes nowhere cause this only happens when it doesn't properly detect 4th ide master. 4 ide master is of course the raid 0 drive. i just hit reset until it sees it and then it loads windows no sweat. i basically can't oc right now cause it's too much of a pain in the ass when 80% of my boot ups error and require an additional reboot anyway.
