BIOS Updates forum

Some do, not this one, but I was assuming you had an old PSU in there, not a custom-built one. I guess you have to build another +5V rail then. Well it isn't custom... yet. It's a Xilence 420W unit. Certainly enough power for this computer, but it's the distribution that is the problem. So yeah, i ...

A Radeon 7200 won't do anything... Flash *isn't* GPU accelerated, no matter what Adobe says. It just isn't. Some HD flash is... but you can't even dream about running HD content on a Cel 466. You need a faster CPU. Think 1GHz+. Sorry, but that's the way it is. The plain 240p/360p vids will work on a...

@edwin: Do you really think that PSUs like that ever HONOR THEIR LABEL RATINGS? I have about a dozen of that type that i've scavenged for parts. I've gotten them for (almost) free. At most $1 each. So, conclusion is... NOT. Please come with a more plausible fix. I know enough to build my own switchm...

I found microcode, but CTMC said it's already present in the BIOS... I flashed it anyway. Now the error went away and the CPU core voltages are at 1.42v, but this brought another unexpected consequence - the CPUs now use up so much 5v power that my HDD failed. My power supply has 27A on the 5v rail ...

They are detected fine in CPU-Z. However i'm getting a different issue - the board sometimes gets the VID as 1.28v instead of 1.45v, and as you would expect this results in a certain degree of instability. No major crashes or BSODs, but some application crashes, yes. I know how to do a hardware VID ...

I run dual 1.4GHz Tualatins on an Asus CUV4X-DLS. A microcode error appears at every boot and i would like to get rid of it. So does anyone have the microcode for a PIII-S? I know the procedure, i just can't find the files i used when i did it on my old Gigabyte board. On a side note, is the microco...

Well anyway... The board has arrived, it works, i even managed to get the same windows install to boot with it... Now i just need a new soundcard. Pix coming tomorrow, i took them while installing the thing, but right now i've been drinking way too much to manage to find the camea to download em.

Erm, i knew that site already, as i said, i currently run a pair of modded MS6905 slotkets. :P In my case, i also had to solder a pull-up resistor to the CPUs themselves. THAT is what i'm most afraid about, i mean, honestly, i'm kinda afraid to even pull the CPUs out of the slotkets. I'll swap the "...

meh, just relaying what I found elsewhere, if you use those this board is reported to run fine with 1.4s That's encouraging. By their looks the adapters are WAY too thin to incorporate any VRM circuitry so they probably do what i already did to my CPUs. Anyway, the seller has informed me that he ha...

ThermalTake are known for running fine for a couple years and then failing without warning, so you could very well have a bad PSU there.

FCPGA2 adapters? Bah, i think that's the last thing one can find here. My heatsinks are fine, thanks. But, if it's just the FCPGA2 chip in FCPGA board thing, then the mods i have already done to the processors so as to work with the MS6905 slotkets should be enough and enable the CPUs to work withou...

Hey all, i have one of those coming in the mail: http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/asuscuv4xdls/ My system right now looks like this: Gigabyte 6BXDS, dual 1.4GHz Tualatins (unfortunately running at 1.05GHz as the board is capped to 100 FSB) on modded MSI 6905 Master slotkets, 4x 256MB CL2 SDRAM, vmodded ...

The caps aren't bulged at all. They are probably bad anyway, but i don't use that computer often enough to bother with replacing them.

After examining *all* BIOS variables i disabled the onboard USB and was able to get 2003 eXPerience Edition to install, and get all my software on as well. It worked... for a few hours. Still locking up - but Windows staying in one piece thankfully. Today, i studied the hardware aspect in more detai...

I'm using audioTester (www.audiotester.de) to measure speaker parameters and WinISD/BassBox Pro to model the speakers for the 2.1 setup i am building for myself. Unfortunately my main C2D computer's onboard sound got fried (static discharge, i never believed it till i saw it happen), and the only ot...
