para um p5w 64 ws pro os tweakes do igual? e bios com suport 1333mhz para ela ha?
NEste post tem uma tentativa de recuperar a estabilidade, quanto sei não funcionou a toda a gente!!Id, there is something wrong with this bios. I just flashed to 2205, immediately after reboot, when I entered windows, it said: "Found new PCI-Device" - I was like "wtf?". I took me a while before i recognized it was one setting in bios that wouldn't be saved; more exactly "Disable onboard sound device". This is freakin' irritating, since I have X-Fi and don't want to use the onboard, it keeps popping up on every reboot. I haven't had any problems with anything else though, but this problem is extremely enoying.
I'm forced to just "disable" the yellow "?"(PCI-Device) in Device manager to keep it from popping up on every reboot. It helps, but I hate to have yellow "?" in my Device manager.
I have tried to revert back to 2004 - but I haven't figured out how to do it. When I try to flash back with Asus Update Utility(even with "Bios downgradable" enabled), It says: Warning! Bios date is older etc etc. Please use ASUS DOS. And when I use the Asus Ez Flash utility, it says the same; "Bios is older than current version" - and program ends back to main menu.
I really would like to flash back with AFUDOS, in DOS mode; however here comes my problem: How can I flash with a bootable floppy when the bios file is too large to fit on a floppy? I mean, I made a bootable floppy disc and copied AFUDOS on it - but the bios file is over 1 mb large, so there's no space for it?
If anyone could explain it for me, I would appreciate it - and surely try to revert back to 2004.
Hope someone is able to help =)
Em reposta a este post, um utilizador que tentou a sua sorte e conseguiu:My system: E6600, 8800GTX, 4GB Corsair (dual), 640 Gb HDD, P5W DH Deluxe. Vista Ultimate.
I flashed 2103 several days ago and problems started. The system became totally unstable! PC hangs up even when I try to open file manager. In my E6600 core 1 is loaded for 5 - 7% and core2 - for 100%.
So it's no way to reboot or shut down the computer. Explorer stops responding completely
The rollback to bios 2004 does not help to solve the problem!
I've tried to tune the bios up in different ways - no chance to fix the bug!
BTW, Asus had already removed 2103 from ftp. I asked the support of Asus in my country about the problem but until now - no response.
Now I flashed 2205. Loading the defaults after flash procedure to apply the new bios was a problem - the defaults did not apply from the first time - I had to repeat it 3 times to make changes!!!
So - DO NOT FLASH to 2103!
Next thing:
How to get rid of existing 2205 bios.
Method 1.
Under Windows start AsusUpdate utility (from the original support CD)
Start flashing 2205 procedure. Straight after "Erase ROM" part is finished - kill the process with Task Manager or Process Explorer. That's it. You don't have any bloody bios at all.
Insert original motherboard CD to drive. Reboot. The system will start to recover bios from the CD. In my case I obtained finally bios ver. 0801.
Method 2.
Do the same without windows. Start AFUDOS.exe. Start flashing 2205. After it deletes the current ROM - just unplug the power from the outlet. The rest - is the same as above. Insert CD. Recover...
CONFIRMED!
First I want to thank roger_h99.nor for sharing this with us.
I decided to try this solution #1, and can confirm it worked - I'm now at bios 2004 again (thank god), and everything is working 100%. I have rebooted, shut down the PC to check that everything is OK.
Just a little heads up!
I tried it because I have another PC next to me, I can do things on if my main rig fails; and in this situation I'm glad I had another PC.
My steps where as follows:
(Before I started, I made sure my boot priority where as follows: 1. CD/DVD-rom, 2. HDD)
-Started ASUS Update Utility (v.7.10.03), and loaded bios 2205 (from this site) In task manager it recognized it as "Update.exe", when you load the bios "from file" and push "flash", it changes to "WinFlash.exe" <- This is the task you need to kill after it's done with "Erase EPPROM"
-Loaded ASUS Recovery CD. When it rebooted it started "Bios recovery" immediately, however it couldn't find "P5WDH.ROM" as a valid file on the CD. I checked it on my other computer, and the file on my CD was named "P5WDHD.ROM", so first it wouldn't recover from CD. The bios recovery process goes in a loop between; "USB, CD-rom and floppy" until it finds the proper bios file on one of these units. Therefore I renamed bios 2004 to "P5WDH.ROM" (on my other computer) and copied it on a fresh floppy.
-Loaded the floppy to my main rig, and voíla - bios recovery flashed back to 2004.
Conclusion, before you do this, you should be prepared with the issues at hand, and make sure you got everything at hand. This worked great for me, and I'm thanking lord vader for that I have bios 2004 back again. My problem with "PCI-Device" popping up, and a bios that wouldn't save settings are history.
I will not be responsible for any damage done to your rig, by using my method - but I surely hope that it works for you that have had problems with bios 2103 and 2205.
Next time I will read a lot more about the bios before I flash again.
Wow, so I'm not the only one, I'm seriously pissed off about this. That's a dodgy way to correct the issue, but I will probably end up trying it if I can get my rig stable again. Strange thing is, my pc goes through 18 hours orthos, 8 hours memtest and then crashes on MSN minesweeper and some media center service in the background..ing asus!
re bios 2205 , same issues here as other people , if bios entered cpu volts reverts to auto, and pci modem and on board sound enabled even though disabled in bios , was stable enough though and allowed multiplier adjustment worked on my qx6700 but i am back to the old faithful 1601 bios and its back to normal

I installed "Intel Microcode update" before a month at bios 2004
Can't be that microsoft release. I actually installed that after I started getting the problems.
