Nope didn't work.

Still asking for HDA Audio Bus driver, well it says is required and not found.

Lucky i have a 90m ethernet cable, letting Windows uppdate and hopefully sort it that way

Im pretty sure 0503 just bricked my P5K DLX.....

I flashed it, at the verify point of the flash with AsusUpdater it said "failed to verify EEPROM" yatta yatta.....Hit flash to retry, or exit to abort...got the same message a few times...hit exit to abort it....and restarted

So now I have a computer that turns on, powers up everything and reboots. Thats all it does.

Tried clearing CMOS, and retry nothing... I left it for 10mins or so to see if that helped. Nothing.

Anyone had this problem before? Or is this thing headed for an RMA....

I knew that was the BIOS I should have installed from DOS.....Vista spited Me with a brick haha

EDIT: Shes dead....wont even stay on long enough for it to give me a BIOS recovery prompt....

RIP P5K Deluxe I knew ye well>>>>

Wheres X38 already? I will have to wait for those to launch, so my rig is going to be offline for at least a month

Every single failed flash seems to be with Asus updater. Why on earth would anyone flash from within windows anymore. the failure rate is to high. Use ALT-F2 and a usb key.

Im on it now and seams to be working fine. Just need my 2/3HP SS and im sorted for a nice 5Ghz hopefully

HD Audio driver ? LOL

All you needed was to install Audio drivers HD from Realtek or Asus site.

[Pete]

I tired, it needs an HOTfix for XP. CD with mobo incs the drive, inc updates but not for XP or VISTA

Asus if your listing, please sort it out as i aint buying your crap ever again

you use a floppy, but for $10 you can get a usb key chain drive that you can take with you where ever.

A flash disk needs to be in Fat32 format I just figured out when flashing to 503. If you have a cd drive with the rom on it or any fat32 drive with the rom file on the root of the drive, then in the cmos, under tools it flashes fine from there or pressing alt-F2 at post gets you to the same place. It is worth getting a $20 small usb key and leave it in fat32 format and copy afudos and the .rom file on there and the bios see it in the auto flash program right in the bios. It's pretty fool proof that way. It just won't work on NTFS formatted drives and usb keys as far as I can tell.

the rom won't fit on a floppy, but you could boot to a dos boot floppy disk and then access any hard drive in fat 32 format with afudos and the.rom file on it.

[ChaosMinionX]

Wasnt more of stupidity in my case, was in terms of how quickly I could get things done which turned out to be a bad idea anyways

it'll fit just fine on a 2MB floppy... he could also use a zip disk.... although if he went to target he could get a 32MB usb flash drive for $5

no realtek hd audio on p5kdeluxe. soundmax it is

[Pete]

Has anyone sorted Vmods yet that work? I seen so manny differnt ones i need to right ones. Got a bench session coming and want to blast a lot of UK Super pi away with my 6850

Prime stable 8hrs with temps 37 to 67C...
and happy for now, BUT, i would like some insight on the following and what they are for before i raise my oc...

what does these do? and how to determine what to use???

any and all reply and suggestion welcome...

I'm running bios 0311 and air cooler, worth test other bioses with this results?

Batch# L723A047
Forgot to edit the note where is write vdimm the correct is 2,35v and not 2.0v


Getting a FBS wall around 488FSB with the E6850, but i was getting 512FSB with my old E6600 (7x512) with 0202 shiped bios and 0311. Its worth get back to 0202 to test this FSB wall??

May i update the bios back and have the same results if new bios can't do the same? I'm building a full wc setup, but i'm a little bit curious to test another bios before.

[Pete]

0503 i cant boot past 390 in BIOS!

[genec57]

0503 I can boot and load windows at 400 fsb - forget stability but windows will load and run.

[rbsmontemor]

0503 fine here. 450x9 like aways

Rbs.

[xgman]

487/584 here on 503

[Pete]

What are you BIOS settings in full then guys? Probs doing soemthing wrong!

Oh and the FSB to NB strap?

its in the subtimings of the memory, asus tightened the timings thus causing issues OC'ing the board.

i had to go back to 311 see my subtimings in memset 3 and then flash to 501 and set those timings in the bios along with all my other settings from before and it worked for me.

[crossg]

Don't know if anyone else has had this issue but on two different P5K D boards when set to stock speed. I would get cold boots freezing at the splash screen (Win XP or Vista 32 bit). A quick reset and it would boot right up. All settings were AUTO except FSB, Ram frequency, timmings and Dram voltage. After a couple of months of chasing settings I found the culprit, CPU Voltage Damper. Tested it for the last couple of days. If set to Auto it will freeze on cold boot but set to disabled or enabled it boots fine on both systems. May be part of my PC configs but if anyone runs into this problem give this a try.

[Pete]

I had issues OC'ing and i reflashed to the same BIOS and it's now working. Have you though it might want a re-flash just make it a bit more happyer?

I need vmods but no one can conferm anyhthing on there for it.

I got a bench session coming and i want to blow some people away

[jagt]

Ah gosh, I have huge problems deciding between this board and the Abit IP35-Pro. What's keeping me off the Abit board is the insane vdroop.

What kind of FSB's can I expect with the P5K Deluxe with a Q6600 G0? And I remember reading about raid issues on this board, are these still present? I'm running raid0.

With that said I've been extremely happy with my current Asus board, so I'd have no problems going with them again.
