ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Polynikes]

Hey, me too, I'm stuck there. Have any luck getting past it? I'll post BIOS settings soon with system specs. Maybe tomorrow night.

Here's a few screenshots of my setup. This is the best I've gotten out of it. So far, it's passed two instances of Orthos (RAM and CPU tests) for about 15 minutes, a 32M superpi, two full runs of 3DMark06 (just the gaming benches, not the other stuff) and I played Counter-Strike: Source with 11 bots for about an hour with all the settings maxed. It's pretty stable, at least for what I do with it. I'll probably do more rigorous testing in the future. Here's the screens:

Bios1
Bios2
Bios3
CPUZ + Temp

Hope this helps. Keep in mind, your machine may boot slower, so wait an extra 30 seconds or so before shutting it off to try again. See below.

Is there any way to "fix" the stall when booting when you've overclocked a lot? My machine takes an extra 15 to 20 seconds to get to the POST beep. I'm glad I waited, otherwise I would've never known this thing was actually capable of booting at these speeds.
