| 597369 | 2007-10-05 02:00:00 | Bios is now the latest. Just thought i'd let you know, when the PC rebooted after I flashed it, it came up with "corrupt CMOS" or something like that, "press F2 to restore default settings"... So I pressed F2 and all is well. But sadly no FPS change :mad: :badpc: |

| 597370 | 2007-10-05 02:11:00 | All OS Version 0807 2007/08/29 update Description P5VDC-MX BIOS version 0807 1. Enhance PCI device compatibility under Windows XP platform. File Size 428.46 (KBytes) This is what you may need to do, isnt it? It would pay to check your processor speed/model is correctly shown on your POST screen, if not you'll need to go into your bios settings (press Delete usually, when booting) and adjust your FSB (Front Side Bus, the speed the m'board runs at) frequency, and also cpu voltage settings (you'll need to get these from your documentation or the makers website); while you're there check the ram frequency matches. These may not have been set if you put the computer together yourself, can also lose the settings if your cmos battery is removed/goes flat, or you flash the bios ;-> What version does the Bios say it is now (on the POST screen)? |

| 597371 | 2007-10-05 02:45:00 | and also cpu voltage settings (you'll need to get these from your documentation or the makers website) Wouldn't exactly recommend ****ing with voltages unless you know what your doing. Leaving all voltages set to auto will be fine! |

| 597373 | 2007-10-05 03:31:00 | Bios is now the latest . Just thought i'd let you know, when the PC rebooted after I flashed it, it came up with "corrupt CMOS" or something like that, "press F2 to restore default settings" . . . So I pressed F2 and all is well . But sadly no FPS change :mad: :badpc: Yes, whenever a BIOS gets updated the settings from the old BIOS end up mismatching with the new setup, thus they must be reset to defaults . Almost always that error will come up upon a flash upgrade, perfectly normal, there's nothing wrong . (apart from the lag) I still don't trust the idea of an automatic driver update program (I know how bad windows update can be with drivers), have you tried installing the drivers manually? |

| 597374 | 2007-10-05 04:00:00 | Yes I installed them manually today. That's what I meant in my post before. I manually flashed the BIOS to it's newest and manually installed all drivers. feersumendjinn: The CPU model/speed in the POST matches exactly. I don't really want to change voltages etc because I don't really know how to do it and what I am doing. The only settings to do with ram are all set to auto. And the BIOS says 0807. Which is correct. The newest one. Still no FPS change :( |

| 597375 | 2007-10-05 04:09:00 | I'd recommend doing a manual update of the chipset drivers (at least) from Intel NOT from Asus. Have a look at your temperatures (of both your CPU and graphics card) under full load. There's always the possibility that you have a faulty graphics card but there are still more things to look into first. |

| 597376 | 2007-10-05 04:13:00 | The chipset that motherboard uses is the VIA P4M800 Pro, Getting drivers from intel probably ain't gonna do much good... the link I supplied was for the latest drivers from viaarena, most likely to be more up to date than asus. |

| 597377 | 2007-10-05 04:15:00 | CPU at full load is around 50 degrees with the fan running at around 3200rpm. Video card at full load is around 70 degrees And Agent 24 are you meaning the BIOS updates you posted? Because i've done that... |
Fishy (10540) | ||
| 597378 | 2007-10-05 04:30:00 | 50 for the CPU is a little high, but shouldn't cause those problems - your fan speed is probably OK (mine is 3500rpm) BIOS is completely different to drivers, the latest motherboard/chipset drivers for your motherboard are here: www.viaarena.com |
