ASUS A7V333

[ckpotter]

I have an ASUS A7V333 motherboard. I cannot flash my BIOS to the latest version .

The motherboard came with BIOS Revision 1007 i flashed it to 1008 , 1011 . But when i flash it to 1012, 1013 and 1014 , The mOthernoard won't wake and i had to power off then back on. i notice that if i set my fsb to 133 Mhz i would have a problem starting up so i had to set it to 100Mhz fsb to reflash my BIOS.

i do not have a problem running at 100Mhz FSB on my BIOS 1011.

I also have a problem with my ACPI BIOS. Sometimes my computer wouldn't turn off and i have to turn it off manually. I also couldn't hibernate. Everytime i hibernate, my pc would restart and resume windows.

My PC's specs are as below:

AMD Athlon XP 1700+
ASUS A7V333 with Raid
Elsa Gladiac 516 - GeForce2 Ti
256MB KingMax DDR 333
Creative Sound Blaster Live! D.E. 5.1
Lite-ON 16X10X40 CD-RW
ASUS 50X CD-ROM
60GB Maxtor Diamond MAx PLus 9
420Watts AVD p/s ( i cute)

If I remember correctly, there was still a prob with a this via chipset and the s/b live, but there was a patch to correct it. Did you install the patch? If not, that may be causing some of your problems. You may have to disable the onboard audio also.

What OS are you using? I'm running win2k on the a7v333-bios 1012 with a 1600+ and don't see any hibernate issues.

I'm using WinXP now....
I had this problem when i was using Win2k and WinME .... dun seem to have any shut down problem in Win98 ...

About the patch , u know ehere i can find it ? i've already updated my VIA Drivers to the latest ... I dun think it's the SB problem bcpoz i cannot even start my computer... i also have this problem if i disable jumper freee and set the dip switches manually...

ASUS Support haven't reply me though...


thanx.
