Hey glad to hear you got your MB back up using the G3 spare card. I have a Visiontek Ti-4600 so maybe that was my problem also. Either way I didn't have a spare AGP card to figure it out though I used a spare PCI card with no luck getting a POST but I did gets lots of beeps so maybe I was...

I don't think that I ever said anything about the orientation of the heatsink. When I got the board, i did see that the heatsink is parallel to the CPU chip in looks and not in the diamond shape that the manual and reviews showed. I think they are just releasing the board now with the heatsink...

BIOS upgrade question. If I want to upgrade my BIOS to the new 1007 Beta version, do I take the zip file and rename the file 1007.012 to P4C800.ROM and then use the EZ Flash program to bump it up to 1007. Thanks

I know I feel bummed that I have to pay $40 to get the new chip since it is nothing that was really my fault (changing vdimm voltage), but at this point I need the PC back up now for work from home issues and I cannot take the time to do the dance with either GoogleGear or ASUS by shipping...

UPDATE Just got off the phone with a Tech at ASUS and we discussed the NO POST issue. He pretty much admitted there is an issue with the CORSAIR low latency memory and the earlier BIOS which he did say was fixed in the 1007 beta and they have been having good results. Even though it is a...

I got a reply from the ASUS help desk concerning my no post question. All it has is a listing for pricing to have them send me a new FLASH BIOS Chip either overnight or by ground. No suggestions or steps to try to correct the problem. Just a formal sheet giving pricing. Going to try the ALT...

Thanks for the tips on trying to get my MB back up. One last question before I try this all tonight. My MB was upgraded to the 1006 BIOS when it crashed. Am I going to have trouble if I use the 1004 BIOS file to try and bring her back up. Since I do not see a 1006 file other than the one...

Newbie Guy I am in the same boat as you (see earlier entry above). After I tried to fix the BIOS from corruption after it crashed from the CD, I am also getting no post so that I can reset the BIOS When I boot up the POST never shows since I get no video feed (tested card in another PC and it...

I am using Corsair TwinX512 3200LLPT memory in a pair that is a total of 1 gig on a new P4C800 Deluxe MB and an intel 3.0c 800mhz CPU I have been having memory issues with this board as when I set the BIOS to speed it would alway crash on memory tests. I then disabled speed and it was running...

Aqua Thanks for the tip, I'll start giving it a try. Only question I have is when you say you have it set to SPD. Did you leave it on AUTO or did you disable and set to 2-2-2-6 or some other settings Thanks for the reply

I am having some problems with my Corsair TWINX1024-3200LLPT 1GB DDR400 XMS3200 Dual-Channel Memory memory that I picked up for this board. In the BIOS I had it set for Auto on the memory settings and I kept dropping to black background on install of XP or any other software. So I set it to the...

Actually I just realized that this is the 865E board and not the 875E board. I have the P4C800 Deluxe. Either way it shouldn't make much of a differnence. I am using 2x512 chips in dual mode. I do have two external USB devices (zip drive and external HP CDWriter). I am not overclocking the...
