ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[X7007]

Please help me over here,

yesterday i tried to flash from 2504 to 2602 just because i love always to have the newest bios ver.

so from a weird way ASus EZ doesnt want to let me get the update running, it just freezed when i tried to enter it showing me the files from the USB Flash A:\ and C:\(was the usb) i tried without the usb flash and it was still freeze, freeze means i couldnt move between the files i had in the usb files i had like 3 ROMS, and without it i couldnt do CTRL + ALT + DEL thats how it freezed.

So i said i will update from Winxp using Asus Windows Flash , turned off all Overclocking ofc and before in Asus EZ. and everything was smooth, reset and to configurate to LOAD DEFAULTS, reset, booted, so it look liked it was freezed, so i reset again and it freezed again, ( i think it wasnt freeze because as you know when you do the Defaults it activates the slow FAN Controls so it gives it more 7 sec or something, and i forgot it at the time) so i turned the computer off, and when i turn it on it didnt boot. I Was IN SHOCKED*, tried everything, pulling memory sticks i have 4x, pulling the power cable, reset CMOS, everything i could think off. so i was at thinking i leave the computer for the day , thinking about RMA and such.

*I KNEW the motherboard is not dead because everything was smooth, no error and i did everything like i always did. but i just thought about moving foward.

So after the day i thought what the hell before i am going to store i will try to turn it on, and POOF magic, it booted and works. but i saw i cant change the CPU VOLTAGE and i dont have EIST anymore, where did they go ?

please help me restore them and if someone could explain the weird syptom.

***FOUND THE FIX FOR EIST. DISABLING THE CPU RATIO MAKE EIST TO APPEAR
