Clear your CMOS and the error will go away. You get that when you try to change a setting and it won't boot with that setting. It sets it back to default in order to boot, but it still doesn't change the setting back. Usually I get an error like that when I'm playing around with voltage and FSB settings.

Does it do that every time, or just when you leave bios?

Are you flashing the right bios? There are several versions of the P5K. Make sure you're getting the one for the Deluxe. I would think it wouldn't flash if you were using the wrong one, but they are probably very similar.
yes I flashed with the right BIOS, it was on the website, unless asus is support so f$%k up!!! that they screwed the BIOS compatibility...
sorry i meant 311 i even tried 404 but with no luck I literally have to do a clear CMOS everytime i boot-up!!!
twice is enough for me already...so I returned it and got a Gigabyte P35-DQ6, i have the Gigabyte sitting in my room now waiting for the price drop on Q6600 to have my machine running again, and i hope problems would be minimal as this is a new chipset so some hiccups would be understable...
