ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[P5WDHdeluxe]

I managed to fix the issue however i must say this was the most insanely retarded bios issue that has ever happen to me. I tried to reinstall xp which resulted in a blue screen upon booting from the cd. Which should not happen if was a windows issue. So then i thought i would try one last thing and flash to 2004. To my amazement it worked and the system booted up all fine. This issue has to be directly related to 2602 and i recommend everyone to stay away from it because i flashed using a safe way and it caused me a whole day of headaches. Downgrading bios several times did not fix the issue so i dont even know why the last try with 2004 worked but I'm just going to stay with 2004 unless some mind blowing bios comes out that can give me 380fsb with less than 1.75nbridge. I actually had to use 1.85 in order to break that wall with earlier bios versions.

how did you manage to downgrade ?

how did you manage to downgrade ?

To downgrade i installed dos on my usb drive and flashed using a 2.27 version of fudos. 2.11 for me did not work however most people say thats the only one that can downgrade. If you want i can send you the files to make a dos flash drive and fudos.

As my last message goes about updating 2602, my computer didnt want to turn on again. it just didnt want to get video signal. i tried put everthing off, memory , video card, sound card (xfi) and it didnt even beep, so it means the motherboard has something wrong. it all started after flashing to 2602.

but as my old story goes i didnt touch my puter for 18hr offline with out connection from wall electricy. and i tried to turn it and it went on.

but now it happend again, is there anyway i could revert to old bios ?

becuase i have no idea what to do. this bios didnt something wrong or it's wrong from the first place.

Please S.O.S, need help.

Thanx

Lol i warned everyone about this son of a bios. Anyways simply boot into dos and flash to an earlier version using afudos. Fixed it for me after about 50 flashes.

W8 m8, but my mb doesnt show video signal, how can i boot to older using the CrashFree bios 3 from within the mb ?

just to burn it on cd or to usb ? to put the name of the bios to P5DH.rom ?

so it means the mobo is not dead at least, just help me to flash it again. please.

**I dont have a floppy connected. What are the ways to update, i just can rma or do anything, i will have to buy new mobo if nothing works, and i will be left with a lost of more than 279$ non work hardware and will need to install and do everything all over, it just unreasoble because of a little bios. Please i need help.

My issue was different from yours however bios flashing managed to solve it. I really cant help you with the no video signal but if you do manage to get it to work again i can show you how to get dos on a usb. Also try taking out your cpu that solved the problem for someone before.

Have you given consideration to trying to buy a new BIOS chip directly from Asus with the BIOS that you want pre-loaded? Most major brands will sell BIOS chips for $10-$15.

Cheaper alternative than buying a new motherboard.
