ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[XiphoidProcess]

Sorry if this has already been answered in an earlier post, but I couldn't find it.

I had a Q9300 in my first gen P5W DH deluxe and it occasionally doesn't show any video on bootup and doesn't get fixed until I put in my old Prescott chip (which boots fine) and re-install, or update, the bios.

I am currently using either rev 2004 or 2704 (I forget) and the computer had been working fine the last few weeks. Well... it was fine until I tried to change the FSB from 360? to 400. Now I can't get either my Q9300 or my X6800 to show any video.

The biggest issue I have right now is... I just installed 64bit Vista, so I can no longer use the Prescott unless I reinstall a 32bit OS.

While I own a floppy drive, it isn't connected and my only other system I have access to is a laptop without a floppy. Does anyone have any ideas for reinstalling the bios without switching back to a 32bit OS?


Edit: FIXED! Just took out the battery and switched the jumper to reset the CMOS settings. woot
