Try turning off the PSU power, in the back of the case. Wait 10 seconds, then turn it on again and boot up. I had the same thing happen when I upgraded my BIOS to 804 a while back and rebooted normally. Got the "Overclocking failed" message, then a black screen. But turning off the PSU power...
Yeah, I ended up disabling my onboard drivers (there was also a boot conflict that would halt my bootup on occasion). I'm getting a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music soundcard on monday, so I won't be without sound for too long. My boot time also skyrocketed to 28 seconds from a cold...
Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing extremely long boot times when the High Definition Audio driver is enabled? Without the driver enabled (meaning no sound) my boot time is about 36 seconds from first pushing the power button to a fully functional desktop. With the HD driver enabled...
That's odd, I'm running Windows Vista RC2 (build 5744) as my primary OS right now, and had my SATA Configuration set to [AHCI] in my BIOS and Vista picked up on it just fine. Vista also runs much more smoothly on my computer and boots faster since I don't have to use the ASUS sound drivers...
Well, I disappeared for a little while and gave the new RC1 Vista build a try. Aside from some program compatibility issues, it ran like a dream (much better than XP, surprisingly enough).
Anyhow, to the meat of the topic. I reinstalled Windows XP on my system, did the F6 deal and placed...
Yeah, I'd say those scores are about right. When you take the long test in HD Tach, you will get an option to 'Compare Another Drive'. Select that option and you can scroll down a list to see what other similar HDD's have been rated at. According to that list, a 36 GB WD Raptor comes in at...
Yeah, I get the exact same reading as you, Fishy, with regards to the CPU information. L2 cache only registered as 2048 instead of 4096 as it's listed in CPU-Z.
With regards to your harddrive reading, that is interesting to see. I am missing many of the lower listed readings, such as:
I...
Yeah, the extended boot time into windows is what prompted me to look into it in the first place. After reading the P5B Deluxe users manual that came with the motherboard, I discovered (on page 4-14 under the IDE configuration section) that the highest UDMA setting was indeed 5 and not 6. Also...
Alright, got a new question to add to the bunch.
I'm running on the ASUS P5B Deluxe (no WiFi) with a 74GB WD Raptor (16 MB Cache). Now, when setting it up in the BIOS, it gives me the option to only go up to UDMA - 5, however using SIW - http://www.gtopala.com/siw_download.html to analyse my...
