Hi, so i just installed the new asus 1101 bios. i was having trouble oc'ing in the past and i heard this bios would make oc's more stable. After installing i set the fsb to 400 with the multiplier at 9 to make 3.6ghz. the ram was auto so im guessing it was at 800mhz.

I exit and save changes and my pc starts up but i get no post. Its just running and nothing is happening. That was the reason i stoped oc'ing but i figured ide give it a shot with the new bios and lucky me it didnt work.

Everything else is set on auto. my previous settings were- FSB=359 with a multiplier at 9 and my ram was at like 500 mhz.

So, what can i do to fix this and get my computer to start up. last time this happend i had to wait a whole day before i turn it on and it worked. i also tried clearing the cmos and that didnt do anything.
 
The deluxe hates FSB's between 360 and 400 or so.

Try setting it to 402.

Don't leave ANYTHING on Auto... Set it all manually. Ram to 533 mhz, Voltages to their strict minimum (except 1.45v or so for the CPU).

Unplug the computer for at LEAST 30 minutes. Leave the power switch off... Flick the front power button a few times with the PSU unplugged. Also, reset the CMOS jumper.

This should let you get back into the BIOS.
 
well i just got back from school and its been about 18 hours and i turn it on and same problem. god this sucks. waht should i do?
 
Well yeah, the only thing that i could do from his advice i had already done. like recet the cmos and wait 30 min. i cant change any settings because my computer wont even get to the bios screen.
 
The only things I could think of are:
VCore is not right?
Northbridge too hot?
 
turn on the computer, and simultaneously hold down the 'insert' key.
 
You can also start up with the mobo CD rom in the drive, it supposedly loads the BIOS from that instead...

Although, to be honest... :eek:... I did the same thing you did (set it to 400 rather than 401 by accident) and she never booted again. I had to RMA it.
 
Ok, Just fixed it. i got some ram off my dads computer and put it in and it started up fine. then i took my oc off and saved. thennn i put my ram back in and same problem happend. so thennnn i put my dads ram in and set the voltage to my ram to the suggested 2.15 instead of auto and everything works fine now.


Now the question that i have now is what should my vcore be if i want the fsb to be at 403. im not going to set it to auto again lol.
 
The p5b deluxe features what ASUS calls CPR (CPU Parameter Recall). If yout BIOS hangs because of bad settings, simply disconnect the pc from AC power (Meaning unplug the power cord from your PSU) then wait about 1 minute, plug it back in, and then turn it on. It will automatically reset all the BIOS settings, without having to do the jumper reset...much more convenient.

haha yeah i wish it was that easy, and believe me i have tried that.
 
What happened to you happens to a lot of people running D9 rams and 965 chipset, your ballistix wont boot at 1.8v anymore which is the default voltage of the bios........ Most likely its only on one stick so you can still boot from the other one but eventually it will happen to the other one as well...... I have 4 stix of ballistix and only 1 out of the 4 still boots at 1.8v, including the 2 previous rma, thats a total of 5 sticks now in 3 months lol........ Thank god crucial support is awesome:)

That CPR doesnt work in this case cos when the bios is reset, one or both rams will not be able to boot at default vdimm ( 1.8v ) so the only solution is to do what he did...... Its a pain in the ass now everytime you have to reset the cmos.........
 
Hahaha

hhahahaa. Oh man, if only this feature actually worked more than 10% of the time :eek:

My ram posts fine at 1.8v, the BIOS default too, and I STILL couldn't get CPR to work more than once.
