Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[Pisklink]

Ok, found another bug or something and I'm curious if someone else experiences the same. Everytime I puch the power button to start up my comp. it starts and stops after few seconds, to boot normally after a few seconds stop. It's similar like you have set a failed OC and the system reboots twice but during second reboot bios has been reset to default during POST and you have to push F1 to get in the bios or continue boot with default settings. The only important difference with my "normal" startup is that the second time the OC settings are still present and will boot in Windows just fine. Is this a commonly known issue with bios 1102 or am I the only one having this problem?

Thinks found till know:
- OC profile program not working;
- Weird HDD lockups;
- Booting twice when turning on power.

My P6T non deluxe acts the same like yours.

Which bios are you using? I really hope it's bios related and that it can be solved by a bios update. Tonight I will also start a thread on Asus forum and hope other people have solution or similar problems as well. Maybe nut maybe an Asus employee picks up the problems report them to be added in a bios update but I'm affraid that will be a nice fairytale.

I'm on 0202 bios. I also hoping that these bugs are bios related. It's a bit annoying to power up twice actually for me. I hate Asus forum as it is too damn slow. They need to increase their bandwidth. I really don't know whether any of Asus employees do read their own forum.

This happens with all my Asus s775 mb's, never put much thought into but if its a bug then both my P5K-e's have the same bug as well as my P5K Deluxe.

I'm guessing it has something to do with Asus's method of detecting a failed OC but thats just a guess.

This used to happen with my old Gigabyte P35 DS3L, but never with my P5K Premium

Indeed it with regard to a failed OC. My Asus P5E3-Premium did the same. But the thing is that my comp. also does this when I just powered it up by using the power button. So it acts the same BUT with one major difference. With a failed OC occured everything will be automatically set to default so it can POST. When you hit F1 accordingly your previous settings will be back. But when I just powered up and it starts its reboot cycle it won't ask me to hit F1 or F2 it just boots nicely into Windows and remembers my settings.

It's just fricking annoying that it powers up two times meaning everything will be stressed with current for a short amount of time (HDD, pump, mobo, CPU, etc.).

Thats exactly what "all" of my s775 Asus boards do as well as my x58 board, blips on for a second then off then turns on again and boots up fine. I wouldn't hold my breath on this being something that is going to change with Asus, they're boards have been doing this on me for the past couple years.

Still deciding if my next rig will be a single Core i7 Asus or Gigabyte extreme. The wait is on for a dual mobo to surface and if Asus or other top tier vendor will come up with gaming boards for the new EP 55xx series Xeon CPUs.

Perhaps a souped up next-gen Mac Pro

@ Highoctane,

Crap, I really hope that it will be fixed with a new bios update.

@ All

Btw does anybody know how to install chipset driver 9.1.0.1012 from the Intel website. When I double click the install executable (so no .zip file) it starts correctly but the moment it wants to install it says that there are already chipset drivers installed. Yeah duh, only this one is newer ofcourse? How can I update my chipset drivers to this newer version? Or delete the old one and install the new one accordingly?

You have a link to those new chipset drivers? The only ones i see are dated 6/2/2008 v9.0.0.1008
