isnt 3301 the latest?

Have you tried updating to a later bios on your board? I know that past few bios updates have mentioned fixes and enhancements to USB related issues and devices.

Since the memory controller is in the CPU, is it possible you over tightened the new cooler, thus affecting the memory controller on the CPU itself? I would try and seat the cooler again, with very little force and see how you make out. Perhaps even install the older cooler in which all ram...

I have updated from every version, including 1401 which was the bios my board shipped with and I have had no issues. I am on 2303 with great success.

it address some USB issues apparently as well, but unsure what that entails exactly. Improves memory compatibility as well.

yikes, so it was 100% fine for nearly a year then died? I got my board in March of 2011, I hope it holds up as it has been fine for the past 11 months.

How old was your board/cpu before this issue occured r340wildcard?

I know it may not help, but bios 2103 is out for your board now, you could try that to see how it fares.

I'm sorry to hear that. I really hope the SSD firmware is the answer after everything you have already gone through. Has it gotten any better at all so far?

+1 ;)

Best of luck, let us know how it goes!

Hot swap should be enabled, not disabled. I have hot swap enabled for all my drives and similar issues have all but disappeared. Later firmware updates for SSD are to help these issues as well. It is too bad you will have to wipe and start again, but it is in a option. Are you on the latest...

I would update to the latest bios for your board, 2001. I would also look into seeing if there are any firmware updates for your SSD drive. Lastly, do you have hot swap enabled for your drives in the bios?

hmmm, interesting. I have my ratio set to 45x with everything on default. I may try per core and see if it makes any difference. I do get over 1.00v as well, usually 1.016v at idle. As long as stability isn't affected, it could be a quick and easy change in the bios to net a few watts worth...

So there is a big difference if set per core instead of all cores? Is stability affected at all? I currently have my system set to all cores, but am willing to change if there is a benefit, could you kindly explain more about this? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Is there a 2001 bios release for the Sabertooth cre3d? I am sure there is and that is the bios you will want to flash to and try. I believe the release notes for the 2001 bios state that the sleep issue with PLL enabled has been patched to be working now.

Wow, great chip. I need 1.32v just to get 4.5ghz stable :(

I think your temps are fine. I have a Thermalright Venomoux X installed with dual sanyo denki fans in push pull and at 1.32v I get about 67-68c as well. I am only running at 4.5ghz as well, so 300mhz over is not bad at all. No real world use will put your cpu at that kind of load anyways and...

I had asked about this exact type of software in my initial post, but no one chimed in until you. What would you recommend software wise that will allow backups to happen automatically and only on files that have changed since their last backup? I would love to not have to rely on manual...

Thanks for all your input.

such as two external drives and have each drive contain a different day of dumps to be sure I am safe? I had thought of this also to be honest, but then thought it was overkill..... =/

Wow, thanks a ton for the response! Vastly appreciated! You are right, 150gb is about what I have now. It will get larger over time, but not immensely so. I am thinking a single 500gb drive would be sufficient. Would allow me to grow 3 times what I have now which will take a considerable...

I do audio based work and am extremely weary regarding the size of a particular directory which holds months and months of work I could never get back. I have backed it up once among 3 DL Blu ray discs but find this far too long and cumbersome to maintain. I am needing an alternative backup...

I have been using this bios since release day on my P8P67 standard with zero issues. I has been a great release and my board has been on nearly 24/7 with it for a couple months now. I had a couple blue screens, but raising my offset voltage a bit has helped that. I recommend it.

1850 is the latest. All for the pro can be found here. ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8P67_PRO/

I have heard of these issues a fair bit lately from reading around. Always seems to be with the system running fine for a while, then during a game/intensive load it just shuts off and never does come back. I hope it is something you can figure out, possibly your PSU.

There won't be a safely remove option. This is well known as despite the hotplug name, the Intel drivers don't allow this to happen. The drives on the Marvell controller will have this option however.

There are many USB issues related to these boards that Asus is looking into. Keep the pressure on and hope for the best. I too have issues with very slow post and boot if I even have USB flash drive plugged in.

I highly doubt it was due to the motherboard. These things just die. I had 2 OCZ SSD dies on me that needed to be RMA'd in he past month alone. As much as it sucks you are not alone. OCZ has fantastic customer service however. Despite the down time he should have no problem getting a...

I remember having this setting on my old board and it set manually to 4096. I have no clue what it actually meant, but I do remember reading 4096 was best and it seemed to be so when I set it to that. Best bet would be to test each one and see if you even notice any desirable difference.

try and enable hot plugging in your bios for all used sata ports.

clear the CMOS via the RTC jumper on the motherboard with the power plug removed from the back of the PSU for a few minutues.

Ouch. I literally had this EXACT issue for the past week. I have had to RMA my particular drive back to OCZ due to this. You can follow my happenings here. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?87662-Is-my-RMA-replaced-drive-also-bad Is this drive based on the Indilinx...

I thank you too. It still seems to install a lot of junk in the process but works none the less and is far superior to that of the newer releases.

I heard they changed the USB 3 controller from the NEC/Renases to their own in house ASMedia USB 3 Controller. I also heard this controller is 'worse?' in that it does not accept USB 1.0/1.1 connections, but USB 2.0 connections still work fine. No 100% confirmation on that however.

Sounds to me you have already justified all you can and have made up your mind? lol

I have to agree with the above poster. Get a 2600K with a P67 based board. I too use my system for music production/mastering and am using exactly what I am recommending above. I would seriously look into Windows 7 64 bit with 8GB of ram but that is just me. Don't cut back on the amount of...

I have heard of strange things happening with memory when the CPU is mounted incorrectly, usually too hard/tightly with the heatsink which causes strange anomalies in regards to the CPU's integrated memory controller.

Unfortunately the ECO line of G.Skill dimms are not known to play well in P67 based systems at all. I have heard of these issues over and over and none have been resolved. Getting new/more compatible ram seems to be the only way out unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply. The news does not sound good however. I can't believe in this day and age a brand new revision of the onboard LAN is still causing issues that you mentioned you have read about in past years. Very disheartening. Unfortunately I have zero free slots to add in a card. I...
