MA790X / MA790XT-UD4P 790X bugs fixes etc etc.....

[gOtVoltage]

looks like it crashed. It's not supposed to reboot unless you hit escape.

Its still not dead...

It may be setting too high of voltage to keep stable during the Flash..

try Clear CMOS and see if you can Flash One more time...

The Back up Bios can not be written too ( To Protect against Bad Flashes)so you wont ruin it...If the Main flash goes bad..

Worst Case , Buy one of these or x2 or X4 to flash it.

Having a spare Chip is Priceless. $33 dollars Sempron AM3/AM2 45nm..2700mhz..

I have an ma790xt-ud4p, and just flashed it to f8c before pulling my 965be c3.

Just to clarify, the core temps are reading 10-12 low?
Can we disable turbo with this bios?

@richierich (or others with the same stepping), how did you make out with your 1013cpcw stepping 1055T? I picked one up, just trying to learn if it's a decent stepping before I decide to a) install it now, b) install it Monday when my seasonic md12, 3X120 rad and Swiftech XT arrive, or c) since it's unopened, try for a better stepping.

Thanks all

Edit: I meant to add, anyone else still having keyboard probs in bios screen? I'll try the usb port closest to the ps/2 keyboard socket, and fall back to an old ps/2 if I can did one up. Sure is annoying, seems like it works about 10 percent of the time.

I had that keyboard issue often when I build this MA790XT-UD4P system almost a year ago with BIOS F4 but since then and now with F8c it worked without problems. I'm plugging my Sidewinder X6 in a USB port below green PS/2 (near coaxial s/pdif) not purple. See if that helps you.

I'll give that a try, thanks. That started happening after I did some high HTref runs, around 350. But I think I flashed F6 around the same time, so I'm not sure which it is.

I still have the 1055t sitting here in the box. I'm trying to decide whether to give it a run with my old swiftech socket A waterblock and homemade bracket Or just wait two days for the XT, larger rad and ps, since I plan to make some changes to my loop then anyways. By then I might know more about the 1013cpcw, but it's getting awful tempting to open the box. Problem is I have a lot of stuff to do around the house too.

Edit: I had my choice made for me, fried my video card while popping ramsinks off of it (and popped a ram chip). When I order new parts and get sorted out, I'll update my results with the bios.
