ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[bing]

gundamnit, what is that program you are using for the temps and voltages called?

Its there in your Asus CD and its Asus Probe

What an unfortunate name.

Ok, wtf, after anykind of reboot or shutdown, i have to clear the CMOS to get it to boot again. Anyone know how to fix this or is it still a problem at this point?

[pcdoc1]

Yeah, back off your OC to the point of being stable....

[menlatin]

there's no oc. i dont even change and bios settings. Just press f2, and go to windows. Then when i restart, i get no post. I power down, try again, nothing. Repeat, nothing. I can't post until i reset cmos.

[pcdoc1]

Don't hit F2, chose F1 and go into bios, then F10 to save and exit and see if it holds...

[menlatin]

done that too.

[dr_sharp]

done that too.

Interesting... what bios are you on?

[menlatin]

0507. I tried updaing with the Asus Update, but it just kind of stops after it connects to the server...

Also, it always powers down for a restart, or atleast when it suposed to restart. Then i have to kill the power and reset cmos... I'm starting to think i should have just kept my Ds3... Atleast it booted and got me 3.2.ghz

[menlatin]

0609 does it too.... Why did i take my ds3 back.....

[yury2808]

left dual prime for night, 10+ hours: Asus Probe shown 86C, while others are in "good" range... wtf ?

probably because you have a fair few monitoring programs open together

speedfan, probe, intel thermal, core temp

So, which one is considered to be the most reliable then?

[Azh_fx]

core temp and speedfan are usually the accurate ones.
which read the diode

edit: nevermind got it!

dont think so, I saw high temps like this when running Probe alone too...

I asked before but noone answered.

When will new BIOS be released.

And where can I see lastest betas??

[bito]

menlatin.....try upping the voltage to the ram or loosening ram timings.
Also, download the bios file and update from that file rather than from the internet

[menlatin]

still nothing. Tried 1.9v 2.0v, tried setting all the the voltages to manual, disabling all te onboard devices, disable USB, sata, all the special cpu features, speedstep.

I downloaded the 0609 from an iamextrrme link from the anandtech forums.

None of this happened when the guy at fry's was using a p4 2.8ghz. It booted right up, and would restart fine.

Right now, even crtl-alt-del makes it shutoff and then on again.

where can I find Bios 0609? I want to replace my 0507, because I can't go higher than 8x372 with it!

[aggybong]

0614 is the newest, available in this thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=114809

I see some german forum but where did they get it?

try upping the northbridge voltage to 1.45. I had the same problem (no boot after shutdown) and this fixed it.

nope... I'm going to try the new bios. If that doesn;t work, its back to fry's for a refund, and i'll just be content with my ds3

[menlatin]

0614 same thing... Its just my luck to be the only one with this problem. I dont know if it'd make any difference but this is the non-wifi board and its Rev 1.03g. What rev do you guys have?

[hokaro]

ok guys just change 0507 to 0614. I flashed my bios to 0614 and guess what: I jumped from 8x372 to 8x420 ( @ 3360). 2 mb super pi done and stable now... Have played games for 2 hours now and no problem... of course I changed from 1:1 to 4:5, 5-5-5-15 6-42.
temps: 44 idle, 50 load
vcore: 1.4
vdimm: 2.2 (2.25 in bios)
nb voltage: 1.45

I will try a little more, let's see what happens
