Asus P4PE owners, please answer this question.

[Bad Dude]

As you would guess it, I have this board, Asus P4PE board. It seems that I put my core voltage at 1.575V and motherboard monitor and Asus Probe keeps saying that my voltage is between 1.6V-1.65V. I thought this board undervolt?
Also, whenever I change a setting in the BIOS or changing some hardware, Windows XP Pro would give me a blue screen of death if I don't first turn off my PC before rebooting. Does anyone knows how to fix this or is this a known but permanent problem?
Thanks.

The voltage thing may be normal, the other is not.

This mobo does overvolt. Mine is about the same as yours.

I had some cold boot problems with my first board and RMA's it. But I've never heard of a problem like the one you're describing. Maybe a good idea to RMA it.

 

[Bad Dude]

How long does the RMA takes? Do they have advance RMA where they send first and you send when you received it? Do they send you a new one or refurbished?
Thanks.

Yeah the overvolting is due to the 2 phase power stepping Asus uses and they overvolt it to provide stability during lows in the feed. I find that mine actually undervolts a bit even with a TP430 PSU under the heavy load F@H causes. I'm not certain whats going on with the BSOD's but if you could list the exact error it's giving we can narrow down the possibilities a bit.

It has not been doing it since I flashed the BIOS from 1005 to 1003. It overclocks a little better too.

Sounds like either the 1005 sux or you had a bad flash.
