ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[chuckbam]

Help just bought used p5b deluxe....havin trouble board powers up, after an initial powerup leads straight into a powerdown before a few seconds then board kicks into life...fans kick in etc though nothing seems to be going to monitor or keyboard or mouse as no lights come on on any of those items...also i was looking for the bios chip....where is it? can't see what i normally associate with bios chip being in a socket?

What Bios revision is on the board and what CPU do you have. One time (and I have had several P5B-D's) I needed to install a old CPU to boot to an updated bios. I was having the same problem you are haveing.

Just something to check out.

That is an old Bios, what CPU are you using? If the Celeron is a socket 775 it will do the job. Maybe not if if it is a celron-D.

I would not call it a defective boad because it has and older bios. You can buy a basic cel at newegg for aroubd $25.00. Good to have back if overclocking. See if that bios supports that chip on the ASUS Support Pages.

PC Probe and AI Suite. both load a an imitation driver called the ATK0110 ACPI Utility. When you install either of two programs, The ATK0110 will continue to run on your computer, both as a TSR and driver in the device manager.

Just after loading the two programs, I had Blue Screen crashes. I un-install It from the control panel but it was still there. I went into program directory and manually delete the two program. (That should have come off on the un-install) That did not work. I went into the registry and delete a number of entries. Some I could not delete even after taking ownership.

I was not able to disable the driver in the Device Manager and when I used the un-install and delete the drivers method in device manager, and the ATK0110 ACPI Utility re-appears on my next boot.

I booted up safe mode and was able to finally disable the utility/ driver. On re-boot, Windows Update wanted to install the driver. I hidden the update so I would not be bother with that again.

I I am still trying to take the disabled driver off of my system. If you know how, please let me know. ASUS went to a great effort to keep the ATTK0110 on your computer. Why I do not know.

Other simple programs can detect both the system temperature and the MHz without even making a program directory.

This thing is all over (was) my registry. Now I have just one registry area to delete, but it said that I do not have permission ! And, I know how and have many time taken permission of a .dll and many other type files. Why would ASUS do this.

I had a problem with that one other time a few years ago, but, the registry eateries where not doubled bolted shut. You can't kill this thing , thanks to ASUS.

It should all come off on an uninstall.

The driver in device manager is now disabled. But, I don't like looking at when I go in there. I think some of you enthusiast can relate.

And, I want the last entries out of my Registry. I am going to go through it again, If I can't get this BS off, I am going for help from ASUS.

But, it may not be in their trouble shooting manual, to get the real people in the know takes a little effort.

Can anyone help?

PS: no more blue screens to clean up after since it is gone. And, it has been a few days now with a lot of use.

Interesting, I installed the ATK0110 virtual device driver just to have everything in device manager with a driver. Got the driver from the "Utilities" section of the asus download page. Regarding the PC probe and ai suite, I have installed and uninstalled without a problem. Maybe try the ATK0100 driver from the website?

Hi,
I think you misunderstand, I am talking about removing the ATK0100 off your system. It made my computer unstable. Vista 64 HP.

No, that's why I thought it was interesting... because it didn't make my system unstable. I'm using XP x64 (Windows 2003), so that's different anyway. I was just making the observation that it seemed to work fine so maybe it was something PC Probe or Ai Suite left around. Best, chappjc

Many Many thanks my celeron D was 775 and bios updated and all now fine...well apart form some driver issues!
