Well, I did remove the CPU... Re-installed it, but still, no go.
My board isn't posting at all... Stucked on DET DRAM on the LCD POSTER.

I will RMA it...

0902 test results?

[eSp!s0]

0902 flashed and nothing changed. The cpu multis are shown as "9.0" ect. instead off "9", because of the new "x.5" multis but that`s only optical for users without that supported cpus. Performance is the same with same settings in everest cache bench and settings ran 30minutes OCCT without an error. It`s not a long test but when nothing changed in performance, the settings should be as stable as before I think and I want to play sth. now and have no time for a long test now

has anyone had problems with

DDR2 800 Crucial Ballistix Ram ????

Anyone got a PCI card in the first slot (aboce gfx card) ?
I need to run a X-Fi in this slot, but how am i gonna do this ?

Hey Guys, me again. My SE will be here sooon. Can't wait. I wanted to get more info on the memory subject. I know couple of you guys recommended me the Crucial Memory and it look good. I just wanted to let you guys know that I plan to put 2GB on each slot of SE. So when my new system is finally up and running, it will start at 4GB of System Ram and Add more later if needed. So I don't want to put in Single 1GB sticks. I plan to get 2GB Single Stick.

The Asus SE supports the following right - PC2-5300, PC2-6400 and PC2-8500? So when I am shopping for Ram, What THINGS do I need to look at when buying Ram. What's the HIGGEST BUS can I get on my Ram anyway? I know the board supports 1333MHz Officially and goes up to 1600MHz. So if you guys can comment of this, it would really help me find the best and Good priced Ram for my system.

Also I have been using Kingston and Mushkin Memory in my current system. Do they have good Ram for the SE MB. If you guys can, please give me some other Manufacturer that I can look at. Once again thx for all the help guys and I will let you know when I have the SE in my Hand.

THX,

P.S. Fusion

To remove the NB and SB, coudnt u just run a few hours Prime to heat it up and then turn it off and try to remove it asap? I find it abit risky using a hairdryer as it could warm up some other components from the board, as it can get nasty hot with a hairdryer.

[Leeghoofd]

Well if preferable is you could pop it off when getting the board out of the box, the more you use it, the more it seems to stick, seems there some bonding action going on there, I covered my board with newspaper to avoid extra heat to be blown on the surrounding components....

What I beleve he meant was: "Remove cpu. Clear cmos with jumper while battery is removed."

I just installed mine today, its a tad tight but it will go

[Warboy]

im so glad to hear you say that, is it avail in 0902 already? if not
what gave it away>?

what gave it away was in 0901 and before there was only things like [9] or [6]

now there is [09.0] and [06.0] i can't pick the 0.5 ones yet, so it has to be under testing.

[Grnfinger]

Just installed bios 902
EXACT same settings as bios 802 and pc wont boot.
EZ Flash wont let me revert to 802 when it used to revert to prior bios
Anyone else in my boat or am I the lucky winner today?

Seriously tho anyone with ideas on the problem?

[kup]

You'll have to use AsusUpdate in Windows on another Dos based flasher to flash back...

[ic3m4n2005]

Yes it fits without problem, but it isn't recognized by windows

I have an Auzentech X-Fi Prelude in the top slot, above my 8800GTS so i'm sure you'll be fine!!

[thelawns]

Oops, didn't see this post. You have disabled the onboard sound in the Bios right??

Just tried Asus Update, checked the box to allow me to go back to older versions, when loading the 802 bios I get this in red

"WARNING the bios image cant use in this motherboard ( the eeprom type incompatable)

did I miss something along the way?

[ic3m4n2005]

Yes onboard disabled, same with onboard controller and firewire, just leaving the two Gbit Lans enabled.

Maybe it has something to do with using both PCIe Ports ?

I've not tried it with this latest bios as it seems to cause more trouble than good, but it usually works if you flash it with the "Older Versions" ticked?

Try using another application? Amiflash or the Windows version?

[Grnfinger]

Just tried Amiflash, says is dosent support my bios, grrr

off to google

thats a great idea with the newspapers leeghoofd, cheers , so u used also a hairdryer I assume? how long to heat it up, I mean if u heat it up that heatsink itself would get freakin hot, wont u burn your fingers lol?

[Grnfinger]

F@%king Asus , I'm on the phone right now.
The pos tech guy is telling me my ram is bad.
I am trying to tell him the problem just started after I flashed to bios 902.
He still saying ram, problem is it works and passes memtest in another pc

[kup]

Explain to him you know the ram isn't bad, that it worked previous to flashing and as such should be fine 10mins after flashing. They're crap, they read from scripts so half the questions any half wit computer user could ask, they still don't have answers for!

[Grnfinger]

This is really frustrating, he wants to rma the board, all I need is to revert to bios 802.
I live in canada and I have to send it to the us, fork I'll be 30 + days b4 I get a new one
Must be a way to flash back
