The Maximus Formula Thread - Help/OCing/Guide/Rampage conversion

[Lestat]

flashed to 1201 and added another 2gb of ram (4gb total) and am getting USB detection lockups during POST.

is this a 4gb bug or am i missing something in the bios that i have enabled or need to disable.

running 1050mhz -ish 4gb 5-5-5-15 2.1v
2x1gb Gskill 6400HZ and 2x1gb Crucial Ballistix 6400 (orange spreader, not the good micron chips)

the system will boot fine if i reset the cmos, which on the Formula is a pain in the a$$ cuz you have to remove the video card to flip that switch.
once i do that and set the bios up again it runs fine but during video converting the system will reboot and then it gets stuck at detecting USB during the POST sequence.

Anyone know why this 4gb bug is happening.
it's pretty frustrating because it will boot fine then reboot or cold boot will make it pause at detecting USB.

So do you have problem running 1Gx4?

I have tried 2Gx2 and 2Gx4, both config. can be OCed as showed in my sig, no problem either on p5e@RF0403 or p5e vanilla.

Have you tried load default setting in bios? Or you may try to rise up Vsb a little bit as USB is controlled by SB.

Err..if you are talking about the switch on the mobo, it just allows you to reset the BIOS from the back CMOS clear switch?? Why would you have to remove the vid card to press the back button clear switch??

the rear switch isnt the same as the switch on the board,
the board switch is a clear cmos,, the one on the back is just a safe boot setting and it doesnt work 98% of the time.


yes i am using 4x 1gb sticks just like i said i was...

i also lose my bluetooth adapter for my mouse and keyboard so i cant even use it
if the system does boot windwos wont even use it, windwos has to reinstall all the usb devised and for some fracking reason cant find any bluetooth drivers.
its like it totally fuxors the entire USB system of the motherboard.

The CLR CMOS button on the back of my MRF resets my BIOS 100% of the time.
