Is your sata drive configured as AHCI or IDE in bios?
No error mesage, no BSOD?

Is on AHCI and no error mesage and no BSOD.



Sorry my english is not so god.

It's not something silly like the CD being scratched is it? Or you could try a Linux live CD (Knoppix, for example), to see if that works. They usually give quite detailed start-up logs so you can see if anything goes wrong and where.
Or it could be bad RAM?



I know it's not the most uber overclock ever, but I've got my q6600 to 3.3ghz (366*9), 1.296v. It seems to run stable at about 35c idle, and 55c load.
I've got C1E & EIST enabled in the bios, I've been reading about how you shouldn't really do it, but is this really such a bad thing? It's dropped the heat down nicely, and I haven't had any problems with it in the 2 weeks I have been using it. Is this enough time to declare it 'safe'?

I tryd 2 sets of cds and still the same problem, I tryd both C1E on auto and disabled but can find the EIST.

Do you have drivers for AHCI? You need to integrate those drivers into your windows xp kit using Nlite. If you set the sata drive to IDE you will be able to install your OS but you will loose NCQ which is only available for AHCI mode.

[NINaudio]

OK, so here's where I'm at with an 8 hour Orthos run so far:

e8400 @ 3825 w/ 1.33v (425 x 9)
ballistix @ 1133 5-5-5-15 w/ 2.25v
fsb termination: 1.40v
NB: 1.55v
SB: 1.20v

cpu temps are 40/56 idle/load.
NB temps are 30/36 idle/load.

It seems like I still have some room temperature wise in the NB, so I think my next step will be to raise that up to 1.7v and see if it allows me to push the fsb up more without raising my vcore. With the NB @ 1.55v, I needed another 1.39v to get 4.0 ghz and 1.43v to get 4.1 (one hour orthos runs).

Hi and thanks for all the answers,

I tried both AHCI and IDE nothig will work.

HI all,

I got this mobo yesterday and then I try to install windows xp student and it just don´t want to install I change the opical drive to se if it works but stil don´t want to install it stopps every time somewere alse, i updated the bios but still no luck, I check all the cables and they are ok, I try everything that i know.

Can you help me plese?

I have this mobo whit E6750 CPU, radeon 3850, corsair xms2 6400 C5 and WD Raptor 74Gb for OS.

How far do you get with the installation?

You don't have anything overclocked yet do you? Make sure everything is
set within it intended spec. Also check your required voltage of your ram
it may be getting only 1.8v when it needs ~2.0v to operate at pc6400
spec. Check with the mem manufacture and find out what volts it needs. Don't overlook this.

Also I've seen this a thousand times, Is your CPU fan plugged in?

Good Luck

No nothing is overclocked

Like I said formerly I have tested all on auto and by the specs nothing will work.

Perhaps my grafik card is damedge it´s kind of hot and is not doing enything, I will trie with the old one to night and se what it says!

My CPU fan is plugged in.

Ok, Well try that, But also note With your DRAM voltage set to Auto the
mobo likely still under volting it (1.8volts) your memory likely needs 2.0v or so,
that means you'll will have to Manually set it. I had to do the same thing.

Check with your mem manufacture to find out what voltage it is supposed
to be set to run 800mhz (pc6400), and manually set it to that in the bios.

UPDATE:
I did a google search for your ram volatage, everwhere states that it needs a
minimum of 1.9v to run at pc6400, the auto setting in the bios will default this
to 1.8v (not enuff). Manually set it to 1.9 in the bios.

Hi and thanks for the help I will try that to se what happens.

anyone alse that can give me more tips?

[vera]

Can you give me a bios settings

[Bogge]

How far do you get with the installation?

It stops diferent al the time most it stops on windows executive is reding in if i dont press F5 to select install standard PC whit i486 ore somthing i dont remenber know. once i gett past the windows executive is reding but stopt on som driver and freeze so it go on all the time. Once i got past every thing and gett to format my drive and copy the files and reboot then when it say windows is installing it freeze.

[BarboneNet]

here for the vanilla

edit: in my previous post i say 'from 400mhz fsb and above' because that's what i have tested.
@ my stock fsb (266mhz for e6300) the otions work as they should (i can set 1.2 vfsb for example).
i haven't tested between 266 and 400mhz to check where the bug 'starts'

thank you nikk

I had the similar thing just happen on my old prescott.
Turned out to be a bad stick or ram.

Run memetest. If the ram is bad it should show up in 2 or 3 loops.

Try one stick of ram.
If that doen`t work try different ram. Even a cheap generic stick of ram will work to try.

[WrecklessEric]

I'm hoping that some one out there might be able to help. I have a revision 1.00G board which I think is one of the earliest revisions. I wondered what revisions of this board you guys have and if any one else has success with a revision 1.00G board.

I was previously running my e4500 at 3.2GHz with 1600 FSB until I tried BIOS 0906. Couldn't get it to overclock as well, so I went back to 0602 and since then I have only managed to clock at 3.0GHZ with 1100 FSB. Now, if I try any higher FSB, I have trouble posting.

I've just tried 1006 and experienced lots of "no posts". The board will only post after the CMOS is cleared, so luckily I've been able to go back to 0602 again.

Any ideas?

[BarboneNet]

what is this??

EDIT: i have check this pin...and 2-3 is already connected! ME=MemoryEnhaced????

[BarboneNet]

Now i have solder them

Hi everyone first post here...
my rig : Q6600 2.4@3.3 - sunbeam tuniq tower 120 (changed the fan)
P5K-E/wifi-ap- bios 1006 (Eist on again, no way to disable it in bios)
2X1GB G.skill HK (promos)
8800GTX
i did some OC (am new at this) and i got this far :


Vcore - bios 1.350V win 1.320
NB -1.55V
SB -1.20V
got rocksolid(i think) :

Temps :

SPI :


i tried to go higher but i'm stuck at 3400Mhz (8X425) it does boot to windoes but i cant get it stable whatever i do... and this as far as i want to go.
what do you think?
what can i do? i tired different Vcores none stable.can it be the bus speed?

Hi;

This bios screen from p5b deluxe , and marked settings not available for p5k-e... only sb voltage 1.20 max voltage for p5k-e... and ICH voltage and pci clock synchronization mode not available p5k-e ? WHY ? My system is totally stable at 8x500=4000mhz (orthos small and large fft's) but sometimes on the desktop or When I playing the game, It's restarting !

[g1raffe]

The PCI clock on the P5K-E is automatically locked at 33mhz.

The Max SB volts of 1.2V is one of the downsides to the P5K-E overclocking.

[boogey]

Stupid question. With on-board Wifi you still need that antenna right?

hi...

use this voltage:

VFSB=1,3v
VNB=1,4v
VPLL=1,6v
VDIMM=2,10v

ram timings 4-4-4-8
use Strap 333
select first value of dram freq.

Hi all,

I Finaly install Windows
what I did is changde the grafik card and after a couple trys it workt
But know many of my programs crashes all the time, I have testet memtest but i didint gett any errors, I tested bouth on auto and by specs, how long do i must run memtest I havet runing for over 1h and still didint finish.
I run orthos to with no OC only the ram by the specs run that for an 1h and no problems untill I stopt the test then it reboot.
Know I´m runing windows vista ultimate and no problems yet but a sound i here from the computer like its trying to shut down but its not shuting down.

[NINaudio]

Here's where I've gotten too right now:



VFSB=1.4v
VNB=1.55v
VPLL=auto
VDIMM=2.25v

I was hoping for 4.0 on low volts, but I don't think I got a great chip. It needs more than 1.4v for any kind of stability at 4.0 or higher, and following the official e8400/8500 thread has me a bit worried about putting that much voltage through it.

I'm testing right now with NB @ 1.4v, and fsb termination @ 1.3v.
