Hello Everyone Has anyone used the new bios version 1501 on the above motherboard yet? Thanks

Put together my new machine based on a P5K Deluxe motherboard and a Q6600 CPU; when I power up, the fans simply spin for a moment . Here's the complete basic rig I set up: * P5K Deluxe motherboard * Q6600 Intel CPU with stock cooler * 2 x 1GB Kingston HyperX memory * 500GB Western Digital SATA...

I just bought an M2N-E and a new case. I also bought an Nspire 650 watt power supply. This is a modular supply and when I installed the motherboard, I ran accross the problem that the ATX12V connector on the motherboard is 4 pin and the ATX12V 2,2 connector from the power supply has six pins....

As I try to figure out the differences between Core2Duo motherboards I browsed to Toms Hardware to read up a bit and from an article back in Dec 2006 they were saying that the nVidia chipset of the 680i based motherboards are more advanced (better) than the intel 965 and 975x chipsets. Is this...

My P5B-E Plus has a Core2Duo E6600 SL9S8. The mobo came with the 0304 BIOS. Recently I started getting EHCI handoff errors when cold-booting into Linux, and some annoying warnings about bad checksums in ACPI tables, so I looked for a newer BIOS, found the 0616 one, and updated to it. However,...

I recently built up a P5W64 in an Asus P900 case. Unfortunately the front panel I/O connectors were in the bottom left (when the board is viewed with the rear I/O (keyboard, mouse,etc) in the upper left)(like shown in manual). Antec provided a long enough cable to get there but not long...

It's been awhile since I've built a machine for myself. I'm confused by all the different P5K sub models. I'm also getting time outs trying to access the ASUS web site. Can anyone summarize the differences between all these P5K boards ? I'd like to transfer a pile of family vacation VHS...

Hi, Is anybody can explain and help me with vanderpool technology. I'm trying enable this option under CPU page, however this setting does not exit. Is p5b-vm do supports vanderpool technology? Appreciate your help. S.

To set up the cpu @ 3 GHz I must up the FSB frequency to 300 MHz. As we know it now runs @ 266.The memory I use is rated as PC 800 and runs at that speed now. Once the FSB runs @ 300 I will have to ruduce the memory speed to keep it @ 800. How do I do that ? And do I have to increase any...

I have a question for someone knowledgable about what may be or not a problem with memory. I put together an ASUS barebones system with an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor and 2X MWAVE 1GB PC25300 667MHZ NON-ECC 240-PIN DDR2 DIMM 500 GB WD ATA hard drive I installed Windows XP Pro for an operating...

Just got my P5K Deluxe motherboard and am faced with a small problem I didn't think of. :) I want to attach a legacy IDE DVD drive plus an IDE hard drive (actually, I wanted to attach 2 of the latter, but one will do). However, the motherboard only comes with a single IDE socket, and the distance...

I just installed an E6850. I have overclocked the chip to 3.825 GHz, and it is running cool and stable. My problem is - I have VCore set to 'Auto' in the BIOS and CPUZ reports VCore as 1.22V, while ASUS PROBE reports it as 1.525! I really don't want to run my CPU at that high a voltage. Which...

Hi all, I just finished building my new rig. Asus P5K Premium MD, 4 gig Crucial DDR 800, Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, Nvidia GTS 8800, 2 WD Caviar Sata 2 HDD, Sata DVD rom, Sata RW DVD. Everything will POST fine. The bios (latest) sees everything correctly. When I try to install win xp I have...

Anyone is running Vista on that motherboard. Works well, but I do have a few problems. For instance Windows Mail will cwey odrwn shut down with an error message after launching. I have an Opteron 170, with 2 G of memory. One other program that causes problems was Microsoft Money 2005, but...

I have the Ausus A8N-SLI Motherboard and have been using the SIL-3114 Raid connection for my 2nd hard drive (pair of Seagate ST3250824AS in "mirrored" mode) and it worked fine. If I try to use the NVIDIA Raid controller in "Mirrored" mode with my matched 250Gig drives then it takes 6 hours to...

Asus P5K only has keyboard PS2 so when I made a post about it in this group a couple of people said a PS2 splitter would solve the issue. Well, thanks for wasting my time and money you ****s because it does not work! When putting both the keyboard and mouse onto a PS2 splitter only the keyboard...

P5K+E6850 cpu. CPU-Z is reading as 6x333mhz=2ghz in XP and in Vista64 it fluctuates between 6x333mhz and 9x333mhz. I have speedstep disabled in the bios so why am I getting this discrepancy and am not using power savings that should affect this.

I want to move my OEM version (not retail) XP Home software license to my new Asus MoBo. The old MoBo will become a Linux box with all Microsoft software removed. Does anyone know if they will re activate it on my new system. The reason I would give is that I am replacing my Mother Board...

I'm building a new system using a C2D Q6600 G0 step as the CPU. I'd like to do some modest overclocking - total newbie to o/c. Will be using Mushkin DDR2 1066 memory, NVidia 8800 video. I've been reading a lot of reviews on the mobo and am getting a little confused. Seems that some mobos using...

Hi I bought a brand new A7N8X-E Deluxe about 3 years ago. I decided to build a system 2 years ago and finally never could get the mobo to work: no beep on power up nothing. I read on the newsgroups that this is a known problem of this board due to a bad battery. As the BIOS chip is removable on...
