ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Yolanda]

Check, can be your DVD drive seen in Device Manager? Maybe it there, but haven't drive letter.
Also you can try to plug it to Jmicron SATA port.

Hi
Have been reading with interest many of the posts whilst waiting to get my account validated, which has just been done, thanks!

So here's my problem (and lack of knowledge!) if anyone can help.

I an trying to upgrade from E6600 to E8500 CO on BIOS 2801.
BIOS recognises the new processor fine however on booting into Vista I get a BSOD. With these errors:
0X000000D, (0X00000000, X00000002,0X00000001, 0X8CE020c0)

What if any changes do I need to make from the default BIOS settings to avoid this, or do I need to reinstall Vista? Or should I be using another BIOS version like 2704?

thanks in advance

another noob

Hi people!

I'm new here. My name is Miguel and i live in Portugal.

Well, i been reading lots of post to this interesting thread.

I have some problems to overclock my system. Here my system:

ASUS P5W DH DELUXE (bios 2801)
E8500
4 x 1GB OCZ DDR2 800 OPS EDITION
2 x WD320GB (AAKS) SINGLE PLATE IN RAID0
1 x WD 1TB GP
EVGA GTX280
PSU THERMALTAKE PURE POWER 680W

Well, i try some seetings (including Yolanda seetings) but no sucess to overclock my E8500.

To i can boot my pc, in the bios i defined:

FSB - 333
MEMORY - DDR834 (auto option)
MEM VOLTAGE - 2.00V (if i defined less, the windows was unstable)

Lnk to my memories:

I try all the seetings that i read in this thread and i cannot boot from the pc.

I change the bios and when i make SAVE BIOS AND EXIT, the pc don't start and no image to the screen. I have to do clear cmos.

I try with only 2 x ddr2 memory and not sucess to.

I try this too:

CPU Frequency: 400MHz
DRAM Frequency: 800MHz
Performance Mode: Auto
PCI Express Frequency: 100MHz
PCI Clock Synchronization Mode: 33.33MHz
Memory Voltage: 2V
CPU VCore Voltage: Auto
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.3V
MCH Chipset Voltage: 1.65V
ICH Chipset Voltage: 1.05V


NO SUCESS! PC DON'T BOOT AND NO IMAGE. Clear cmos is necessary.


What a hell i have to do?

I only want to make this E8500 at 3.8ghz...

Sorry for my bad english and long text. I'm desesperated with this..

I hope that you people can help me there.

Thanks for everyone.

i have a clock stable e6600@3.6mhz two years on good h20 system
looking to upgrade but retain this p5w dh board i have bios 2801 in situ

what quad cpu route is going to produce the best oc results mp4 rendering is part of the upgrade and some game play.
i want to retain the board as i often use hackintosh software on my spare drive and the p5wdh suits this mac software.
looking at a q9550 but cant find many posts on this set up
will the q9550 overclock with this mobo?
Most posts suggest this mobo has problems with any quad over 3.2mhz stable.
any advice welcome if my thoughts with current cpu are worth following.
thanks

[anzial]

Forget about quads on this mobo

[graylinghunter]

What is its heal why are quad overclocks poor?

[anzial]

It's a great mobo but face it, it's long past its compatibility with the latest cpus. It was already old for overclocking conroes, not to mention wolfdales/yorkfields

[graylinghunter]

so if you were going to upgrade this cpu on this board what would be your choice?
I am not going for any records just treating myself to a new shiny cpu to get another couple of years from this rig

Also you can try to plug it to Jmicron SATA port.

I have checked, but it is not there, I have disabled jmicron controller
since I use Intel controller for raid 0, but nothing, strange can someone
at list confirm that they have more then 4 sata drives, be that HDD or
DVD installed on P5W DH mobo, or P5K.

thanks and cheers

armend,

Use the DVD in the EZRAID SATA connectors (Orange).

I use my 3 HDD SATA drivers in the 3 avaliable sata ports (with RAID by intel chipset) + 1 dvd sata drive in the EZBACKUP Orange connector 1. Work perfectly. (you need remove the jumper too make the EZRAID BACKUP connector work like a sata connector normal.

Thanks a lot G40RoCkEt, will try when I go back at home, thanks
I don't know how did I miss that..

hello everyone, p5w dh deluxe is a great mobo, and ai tech is amazing.

But i cannot use my ai suite now. When i open ai suite, there is a messagebox: you cannot get default frequency.The program seems to be dead, it eats up 50% cpu resource and does not work at all. what's wrong?

my system: vista32, bios 2801(newest), 2704, pcb version 1.02g, e2160 overclock 3g(333*9), but 200*9 also have the problem.

another problem: p5w autostarts when power is on, i cann't stop it, it is normal before, i just have a remote on usb 3, no one on usb 4.

sorry for my chinese english, thanks to everyone here ：）

[Korgan]

Forget about quads on this mobo

Unless you have a Xtreme with unlocked multi. I am using a QX6850@3,8Ghz stable.

[graylinghunter]

So what is the best oc i will get out of the p5wdh on current quads and duals
without any hardware mod to p5w board.
As i say I dont want to throw the board yet!
any help welcome the 4ghz e8500 clocks look great but what is the best quad result stable on the p5w thanks

You are for real? you expect someone to actually search for your first post that you are too lazy to repost or link?

anzial,

My first post is in this thread page.

Ok, I am resigned to my current OC with my q6600. But I seem to have a new problem.

I was testing NCQ with my 150GB Raptor, and now I seem to have occasional random system freezes. Like the hard disk light will go solid, and for one minute my computer will not respond. I am not sure of all the settings in the BIOS under AHCI, but I enabled all of the ones that seemed relevant based on definition. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is one of those two settings that pop up once you enable AHCI problematic?

I searched and saw the closest similar symptom in this thread is that WIFI freeze, so I disabled the WIFI. I also read that it helps to enable "enable advanced performance" for the hard disk under the device manager properties. I have done both and have not had a freeze yet but am wondering if NCQ is flighty on this board.

Anyone else have any of these issues? Worst case I will turn off AHCI, but I have read of other P5WDH users enjoying their NCQ.

Hi,

It kind of crazy when I turn my system on the screen only can allow me to move the mouse in 2 second then it freez. If I try to open any application it does the same thing. I have to wait for 4 hrs or may more than that to see my computer working nornal again. What is the cause of that Problem
All of this happen at Stock, My Bios 2601 after OC at 3.8

1- is iit my mem is gone or going to...

2- I c/o out two CPU- (A E8400, OC at 3.8 )and (E8500, run at stock) and start my Gig and it post the Blue screen come on and restart the whole thing again. What went wrong?

3- I go back to E8300, 2,4 GHz and run It is run seem OK , but have to wait for long time so my nouse can move.

4- OR OR My computer have virus or spyware?

What the cause of all these?

Please help. Thanks

[ntvh]

Swap two new sticks Ram.....it still hunng for second the problem still there.

please help

Hi again,

Here my screenshots of my bios:






Well, i already try this:

CPU:400
DRAM: 800
CPU VOLTAGE: (i try AUTO and 1.45v **** THE BIOS DON'T LET ME DECIDED MORE LOWER THAN 1.45v... ONLY 1.45 UNTIL 7.00V)
PERFOR: AUTO
PCI FREQ.: 100
PCI CLOCK: 33.33
MEM VOLT.: (i try: AUTO, 1.8,1.9, 2.00, 2.1 and 2.2V)
FSB VOLT: 1.3V
MCH CHIPSET: (i try: 1.55V, 1.65v)
ICH CHIPSET: 1.05v

SPD ENABLED: 5-5-5-12 (default timmings)


After save in the bios, still no boot. Is necessary turn OFF the computer and turn ON again.

What a hell i have to do?

In my CPUZ my motherboard revision appears 1.xx

I downgrade to a 2704 bios.

Someone with more help?

[ntvh]

Need help BADLY, After waiting for 6 HRs, My computer is seem run normal but when I turn on the Coretemp program...at the freq ..it show only 1.8Ghz? What is wrong? Is My MB is gone or the CPU is gone? Please help. Thanks

[Yolanda]

Run CPU-Z from www.cpuid.com to verify CPU freq. and all related settings.

[ntvh]

No Clue at all . I reload the whole system now is seem running fine, except when I turn on the emule program..my whole computer frooze. Don't know what is going on. Will report back for for info. Thanks
