Bios and boot problem with ASUS P5V-VM DH

[manuelku]

Hi all, I bought a new setup in a local store today, but there is a booting problem with the machine. The problem is as the computer boots up, it shows checksum error, then if I "DEL" and go into bios and save any changes I made, the computer will not boot and beep. Then it will keep beeping in the next boot, I have to pull the clear cmos jumper to get it boot again. The weird thing is if I press F1 to get thru, if I ever reboot the computer, it will just beep and not boot again.

I am not sure if that's the motherboard problem or any of my components is bad. I use the onboard video from this ASUS P5V-VM DH

Setup is:
Intel E6300 (1.83ghz)
1gb 667 ddr2
ASUS P5V-VM DH
sata drive, ide dvdrw
500w psu
everything onboard

o btw, in the bios, it shows the cpu running at 266 x 7 (1.83ghz) and I heard that long-short-short means bad video, but I don't think so in my case.

thanks!

What's the RAM voltage set at? If it's AUTO, you might need to give a bump for it to boot.

How are the overclocking options on that board?

Had same problem using DDR2 667 memory. Changed it for DDR2 533. Everything now works OK. Also flashed board to latest BIOS.
