ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[chuckbam]

you try different pcie configurations? 100? 105? 110?

how about a bump to vich, although that shouldn't be necessary.

Can you try clearing the cmos. Running stock to see if it's gone. Disable the pci lock if it's enabled. Boot again. Then reenable it. Then try moving fsb up again?

I know my p5b had an issue with graphics getting stuck at x1 the first time I started o/cing. but a combination of vnb adjustment and forcing it to x1 and then unforcing it causes it to be x16 no matter what now.

edit: I know this is almost certainly incorrect, but have you tried a reinstallation? I don't know if I'd think it's necessarily a floating pci, since at around 360, if you didn't have a lock, you should have already lost sound and at 360 or so, start to lose sata as well.

Ziddey, I just looked and my PCIE is at 1x It was 16 times before. How do you fix this problem?

I just fixed it, Ya 2 hours, I set the bios to default. And, then loaded my custom settings. 16x it now reports

I think this happened the last time I flashed my bios.

all righ, for those of you, whos having issues with running 4:5 ram divider and tryin' to achive 1000MHz memory speed, here is the trick.
ya' all know p5b-dlx mobo has issuw eith memory control/management... thats a fact. this is even worse whent it comes to 4:5 divider!
so IF u wanna get 1GHz ram speed, no matter what kind of memory u have (800+, 1066, etc...) the only way to make it stable if u leave the timings by SPD!
DO NOT SET manually the timings!!
it will be automaticall 5-5-5-15 2T and will work like a charm...
i know, i have been messing around to get 1GHz RAM speed for week, tryin' almost all the posssible BIOS settings/timings, testing them for hours, at the end of the day it froze, bsod whatever....
now i am running 100% stable at 1000MHz cl5!
