ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[lateralus]

So I'm trying out Vista 32 bit. I was able to get the asus wifi-ap solo utility to work, however it says the wlan adapter is not installed. i went to the device manager and everything is showing that it is installed. Any ideas or does anyone have a link for what I need?

Much appreciation!

Go to asus.com , then downloads, select p5b-d wifi, download its drivers.

2dave,

I added my sata dvd burner to test with my raid0 setup, and it also worked.
So, i dont think adding a single harddisk would give any problems.

=========

Is there any difference between sata slots 1,2,3,5,6 (bootable) and 3,4 (data) ?

I am a bit confused which slot i am gonna use.

MY sata burner worked good on bootable and data slots.

I have the same problem with the 8800GTS and P5B-Deluxe

Info on german forums is that 0903 was issued as a beta to try to fix Nvidia 8xxx series compatibility problems. It seems that this is not the case as you stated.

However I wonder why there is no updated beta bios yet. Anyone tried to call Asus support? They usually give out beta bioses on request.

I don't have a nVidia 8xxx series but the 0903 bios is definatly not that slow. I know im running it right now.

I do get have and have gotten since I've got the board a glitch where I have to restart the computer many times because the BIOS actually freezes! Its rather annoying when you get through 2-3 settings just to have it lock up when changing the last or trying to get to the save menu. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it comes in packs of 3-4.

Ok i have fiound the problem when 8800GTX is installed on my P5B the bios goes crazy and is very slow it is like using bios with slow motion..



My question is does any one know how to fix this??

No Problems here.

What's your PSU specs?

[zerolise]

ALL the bios after the 0614 have the BUG that all time we restart computer the LINK Width run x1 instead of x16 .

thats why im using 0614 , i prefer have the colboot instead of clear cmos all time i restart my computer or change any setting in bios .

And with Bios 0614 you dont need to do nothing in BIOS , you can use any setting that the bios always run LINK WIDTH x16


lets hope that ASUS solve this problem with 0804 OFFICIAL .

BTW: BIOS 0711 , 0801 Beta and 0804 Beta all of them have that BUG of LINK WIDTH x1


regards

Hi,

I have a P5B-E Plus BIOS 0304, and initially I have the same problem. After two nights of searching and trials, I discovered that if I bump up the NB voltage, the link goes to x1. Otherwise, x16 is possible.

Hope this helps.

I have the same problem with 8800GTS and P5B-E motherboard. Noticed it was kinda slow in bios after I installed the GPU.

What's your PSU specs?

Silverstone 850w Zeus

Yea - it's not the PSU. I popped back in the 7950 GX2 and the lag in BIOS is gone. Its something with VGA and the GTX/GTS cards Using the latest BIOS here for the P5B-E and an OCZ 520w PSU.

[jVIDIA]

In the OC field is there any improvement with the 0903 vs 0804 ?

And the false restarts after exiting bios @ higher FSB's ?

The false restarts and the BIOS changing the boot strap.

I run my E6400 L628A @ 3,55Ghz, 1.45v with bios 614.. But it won't go any further with higher voltage :s I'll try lapping it and see if that's gonna make any difference. SPI 1M @ 3,65GHz, 3dmark01 stable @ 3,6GHz, it froze in 05 at 3,6 though.

[Kakulukia]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Till today, i didnt have the pcix issue. But, i set all the voltages (except vcore and vdimm) to AUTO.
And opened cod2 to play, but the game was ing slow, first thing i thought was, pcix1?? And yep, it was at x1.

Normally, my voltages are manually set .

So, hereby, i confirm that x1 is REALLY a voltage setting problem (maybe a combination of voltages).
I am immediatly going to set my old voltages.

Do not set to auto, I repeat, do NOT set to AUTO

Seems that other ppl are having the slow bios prob with a 8800 and others not. Strange...

I am a bit confused which slot i am gonna use.

MY sata burner worked good on bootable and data slots.

I'd like to know this as well.... having problems hooking my ide burner up with one of those ide - sata host adapters. I thought the problem was b/c I am using a matrix raid setup, but maybe not ?

[TI66ER]

my pci-e sometimes goes to x1 if my fsb is over 480ish.all i do is shutdown and power my psu off and on,when i reboot it is back to x16.

i always leave my voltages on auto.i have tried my nb on 1.45 but it seems to fail to boot windows sometimes if it is set at this.so i jst leave them on auto.

Hi peeps,

Just ordered this board along with some Corsair XMS2 6400CL5.

Bit puzzled to how Im going to get on though, Have read that quite a few people have been able to get a descent overclock from this RAM and board.

I can only find one problem with the ram for this board, which seems to be the BIOS's fault, whereas I can see many others with Team, OCZ and G.Skill.

Heres the thread explaining the problem

http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=54705

I don't really understand what they are saying there, is this going to limit how and how much I can overclock, think it is going to be a big problem for me guys?

Thanks Kit should be here on Saturday BTW

Nope - it definately ain't the PSU!

[jVIDIA]

Never add the x1 pci-e problem here.

Also don't have any Auto voltage at all and my FSB is far away up 480.

I'm with 515x7 @ 1,4125v

also in bios when you click system monitor it freezes the computer. Thats on all 3 boards that i had.

if you read the description it says it takes a little bit of time to read the fan speed... that's why there is a little delay

cool thanks for that info.

Is it just me or does it seem to take an undue amount of pressure to latch the lever on the CPU socket??

My E6400 is seated properly, but compared to my other builds (AMD and Intel) the socket lever puts a lot of pressure on the heatspreader. Granted this is my first Conroe build. My last Intel build was an IC7G-MAX3...... pins on the CPU instead of in the socket.

Anyone else think the same??

Any newer bios than 903 out for the P5BD?
