I have just finish building a new DAW. It's an ASUS P4C800-E, P4 3.0Ghz and 2 gig Corsair PC4000 (4-512 sticks), whoo hoo! It's configured for a simple IDE configuration with an OS master drive and CD-rom slave on IDE1 and an audio drive master on IDE2. All went well, no beeps or an occasionaly single beep during the installation process of OS and drivers.

Dear All,

I am having a problem booting up my Asus P4pe beta bios probably once in every three times, monitor does not start, and when I reset I get taken straight to the bios and it says that system hung on last boot up due to incorrect CPU setting. The thing is, I am running the whole thing in normal mode with no overclocking.

Can someone let me know what this might be?

Hey guys, going to get my ANUS based comp soon, just wondering if you guys could share any BIOS settings or setup tips-I know someone mentioned Flashing the BIOS with an update, anything else?

Cheers,
Eric

Well, now my fingers are working again and I got my DAW-case clean from all the blood. I didn't know it could be so dangerous to build
PC's :roll:
But now I've finally built it. ( I'm just getting the soundcard tomorrow)
So tomorrow it's time to turn on the power-switch. I just have a few questions about the BIOS-setup:

My P4B266 is currently on BIOS Revision 1003. I noticed on the ASUS site that there is 1005, 1007, 1008 and 1009. Are any of your ANUS's using one of these versions? Is there any justification for upgrading to any of these versions? if so which do you recommend?

I just ran into two interesting sounding BIOS settings.

Anybody know anything about Memory Turbo Mode or Delay Transaction?

P4B266/P4B266-SE ACPI BIOS 1006 beta 02. The rumor has it that the processor temperature bug is fixed :)

;)

i dont expect anyone to post step by step how to configure, but was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of websites or books?

also what about in bios, i have an iwill xp333 mobo where should i look to configure in there?

any info helps thanks
