Have you tried the latest bios?,
what bios version did it come with,
and what cpu are you using?

I have bios 1006 and it was same problem with bios 1004

CPU is E4300

Well you may consider the RMA, I initially had a e4300 on this board with
no problems on 1004 bios. Be for you do the RMA if you have a different PSU
laying around (even if its a low wattage one i.e. 250-350w) hook it up to
see if your problem is fixed, some PSU and mobo combos have issues on start up.

this person has the same issue as me
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Language=en-us

mine also is rockstable if left on forever even overclocked or on default settings. But when I shut it down and boot the next morning, it just shows black screen.
One person there commented that his prob. was fixed with the new 1012 bios. Let's hope mine does as well.

I just ordered this mobo and a 1200w Silverstone PSU...I am just interested in this mobo's capabilities as I already have DFI's P35 UT and X48 LT boards...have people clocked up QX9650s on this? If so, how was your experience? Lots of BIOS updates which is awesome Asus has bad tendancies to abandon boards soon after releasing them

damn, the bios update didn't do anything.
Still facing the same problem.
I'm gonna give ASUS techsupport a call today.

Well I just spoke with the techsupport and they are saying it's a RAM issue. They suggested I try one of the recommended RAM from the mobo manual.
I have already tried OCZ 667mhz RAM and Hynix (one of the recommended ones from manual)
They are like ok we'll try to duplicate this problem and try to find a solution and give u a call bak within 24 hours.

Where did you puchase it? Local, or etailer? If you can, bypass Asus, and try
to do an even exchange for a new p5k-e from the place you purchased it.

I run a QX9650 on my P5K-E, no issues once I updated to an 06xx or later BIOS.
