Testing / comparing : Intel D975XBX2 / Asus P5B DX ***56K WARNING***

[ubiquityman]

Seems like rev 506 of the board works with the flashfile but 505 doesn't. You folks that have flashed successfully, can you look at the bar code tag on the motherboard and tell us what rev you have.
Intel calls it the AA #. Mine is: D53350-505

If any of you have a 505 rev flashed successfully, can you tell us what type of CPU or connections you have to the motherboard?
Right now, I have 4 drives connected to the Intel SATA, 2 IDE DVDs, and 1 Marvel SATA HD. Running a QX6700.

I've tried flashing 2745 again using the floppy method, but same result. System resets endlessly. Monitors don't even turn on.
I also tried putting the BIOS Configuration Jumper into recovery mode.

If it's not a board revision problem, then I'm going to try setting the CMOS settings to DEFAULT before I flash.

Something is hanging up this board. And yes, I did try reset....
