I remember reading about this problem earlier but was unable to find any information about it. I am using BIOS 0401 and whenever I try to flash to a newer version in the BIOS I get this message saying something like "unable to upgrade to downgradable ROM". It's like it's thinking it's any...

I could only come across one thread that had any similarities to my problem. What do you think it is? What causes the opening screen to not let me use the keyboard to enter the BIOS?

Were you able to fix it? I am having the same problem.

It was OC'd when I flashed it. I was able to get into the BIOS once and I flashed from 0505 to 0401 and same thing happened. I wanted to flash down to 0202 but it wouldn't let me. That was the only BIOS that was stable for me so I am trying to get back to it. When I am able to enter the BIOS...

And how do I do that? I am unable to get past the Asus P5N-E startup screen.

I tried resetting the CMOS (Taking out the battery, placing the jumpers over 2 and 3, then replacing on 1 and 2 and reinserting the battery) but I dont think it is resetting. When my computer starts up it stays at the BIOS screen and I am unable to press del to enter it. I am unable to do...

I just updated to BIOS 0505 and now my OC options (FSB settings) are grayed help. Help please!

I am talking about Core 0/1. The Temp1 goes from 40-47 usually.

I've been idling around 49C and get up to about 60C under full load. Is this reasonable for an OC cpu with an after market heatsink?

When testing for lower memory latencys which number should I lower and test first?

I've got a Zalman CNPS9500 heatsink. I was hoping it would keep the cpu a bit cooler but maybe my overclock has a lot to do with the heat. Case temp is around 40C, NB doesn't get any higher than 49C. CPU usually around high 40s or low 50s when idle. Can get over 60C with full load. When I...

Vcore - 1.425 NB - 1.563 VDimm - 2.259

Full load my temps get to about 64C. Is this an alright temperature for an overclocked C2D?

How do you get it to display the decimals? My scores are always whole numbers.

Whenever I try to OC over 3.1GHz and run Orthos I get this error.... 2:FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4 2:Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file. Any idea what the cause of this is? I tried upping the Vcore but that didn't seem to do it.
