back to 1011.007 (final), and 100% stable, however thats useless to me with dual core coming soon! What to do now? :(

1014.004 run memtest this morning for 6 hours (8 passes no fails) however as soon as i got into Prime test it fails when going into memory.

could you post your memory settings for me?
Software memory hole?
Interleaving etc.....


going way off topic but then its about getting bios's for x2 i guess :( lol

bug testing in 1014.004

1: multiplier adjustments dont do nothing.
2: sometimes it boots into windows giving my cpu 1.7volts!!!!!! :mad:  (instead of 1.35)
3: memory dividers dont work

cant reinstall windows now, as the cd has become unreadable?! :(

Sounds like you got a bad file or bad BIOS flash.

Settings -

HT Frequecy  - All available, I use 1000
HT Data - Both set to 16 BIT
Memclock - Auto
Memory Hole - Disable
Burst Length - 8 Beats
2T Command - Disable

Everything else default or auto

Copy latest afudos and new BIOS file to floppy disk
Use a Windows boot disk, and fire it up
Put in the BIOS disk
Use - afudos /i

Never been a big fan of the Windows flashing utility.

1014.004

ok, for a "Laugh" i installed Win98me on a old 800mb HDD i have laying around. seems totaly FINE! Other than the fact those settings dont work. Ie i set it as 5x200 (underclocked to 1000mhz) yet its still running at 2000mhz in windows... strange.

Maybe something is up with the VIA SATA ports or my HDD i really not got a clue.

i tried installing XP on my raid drives but it kept getting missing files copying from the cd.... i think i either need a new cd or its having issues copying them TO the hdd's? Im lost on this. seems strange this fresh 98 install is fine though... Man its like going back in time :D

oh btw i have been using the floppy method since the first time it started going wrong, as i didnt trust windows to stay stable long enough to flash within windows.

This seems to be going ok right now, apart from when i reach sector 760mb of this 800mb hdd, then the head crashes :rofl but i knew about that already


going to leave it over night prime stess testing

I shall keep the Bios i have at the moment then :)

Btw Laggy, i always used the windows flash tool with no problem but now it fails with an error just trying to load the flash program and no amount of reinstalls will let the program even start.

Re the Prime blend test, mine runs it but never outputs any info to the screen, had it running over an hour the other day and nothing.
It does not crash or fail with errors it just keeps going with lots of HD activity until i tell it to stop.

After reading  on OCUK website i tried manually setting the ram size and it works fine. Looks like a prime problem with XP SP2.

As for the A64 x2's they are way out there price wise at the moment.

yup you seen the thread on ocuk then... i manualy set the memory size a tad smaller so it fits inside the ram. and doesnt go into swap file.

system seems ok now, but im still worried/annoyed that the bios settings dont work, making the bios almost useless.

theres a new version on the asus site for that asus update... maybe that will help?

No idea why it isn't working for you.
I have an early rev 1.xx board, maybe that is the difference?

Can't find any BIOS later than 1014-004, where'd you see it?

Re- 2T timing: For fastest this should be DISABLED, i.e. forces 1T.

i ment the live update software for windows theres a new one on site that might help cav (and me)

on 2t timings, i CANT use 1t with 1013 or 1014, this is what was causing the crashing. But then all the memory settings need to be left auto or the system is 100% unstable. unlike 1011 where i can tweak all memory settings manualy and run 1t :(
