Problem with my Vista After Bios crossflashing

[kazuyakun]

I got an Asus P5E mobo, and I crossflashed it with the Asus Rampage Formula bios ver. 0701

The bios works great, but in the BIOS it doesn't have the CPU properly identified it only has the QX6xxx versions but I'm using a Q6600. I don't have any problems with the settings since the I was still able to overclock both memory + cpu just fine.

But the problem is that when I boot up to Vista, about 90% of the icons on the bottom right don't show up but are running (task manager shows they're running) and Vista keeps locking up unless I forcefully "end task" on the CPULEVELUPHOOK programs.

Those 4 programs were never installed on my Computer but I had AISuite.

Can anyone help?

Flash back to the specified BIOS?

Don't take this as an attack - I'm just wondering why one would do this crossflash to begin with? Does it make the board more stable or something?

I think once you do the Rampage BIOS flash, there's no turning back, at least easily and safely. Some guys over at XS have reverted back, but some have failed, too. It's more considered a one-way flash, typically.
