Hi Guys. I picked up the P5K Deluxe and I'm having some weird issues. I'm running BIOS 311.

issue 1) When I turn the PC on it "stutters" on. What I mean is you hit the power button and it will turn on for a second, turn off, and then turn back on again within 3 seconds and then boot. Someone told me this is normal. I have never seen this before, but I'm coming from a really old system and this doesn't sound normal to me. If it is normal, what purpose does this serve?

issue 2) When i setup two sata drives to run raid 1 and install window xp professional everything appears fine, then, anywhere from 10-30 minutes later one of the drives just drops from the array. If I reboot, the drive that dropped will show as "error" status in the Raid setup <ctrl+i> before boot. Once I boot up I can add the drive back and it rebuilds. I tested the drives in other machines and with the drive fitness tool from Hitachi and they both test out fine. I also tried to just running plain old sata straight up without raid and while copying files to one of the drives, the drive dropped from the system. Any ideas?

Thanks!

1. normal since 975x/965p chipset when you change certain mem divdiers/NB straps a shut down and restart is needed to ensure the NB strap is properly set. For P5K Deluxe seems it also occurs for sub timing changes as well.

2. raid issue is known but i don't use raid right now so can't help you there.

As to none raid with SATA dropped not sure ...you running it as IDE or AHCI mode ? run as IDE mode and see what happens.. try all SATA connectors and see

Asus P5K Deluxe - flashed from 0304 to 0311 official bios


Well I've flashed from 0307 beta bios to 0311 official bios from Asus' http download site (not the 0311 beta bios that was on Asus ftp sites a few days before). All went well with no problems so far. Failed overclock recovery seems to have gotten better than before and that was already very good to begin with!

Flashed within bios using Ez Flash2. I suggest using Ez Flash2 or Afudos for flashing bios and avoid using Asus Update in windows.

Now you ask, what changed in 0311 bios ? Official change log states:

P5K Deluxe Release BIOS 0311
  1. Support new CPUs. Please refer to our website at: http://support.asus.com.tw/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx
  2. Enhance device compatibility under AHCI mode

But it seems they also added Command Rate option in bios for 1T/2T. Only done limited tests with 1T for now but there is a boost in memtest86+ v1.70 reported bandwidth when 1T is enabled. I'll return later to test 1T out. Just want to see how 2T manually selected performs. I've swapped out my X6800 cpu into my Asus Commando for now, so returning to using my Q6600 B3 ES Kentsfield quad core cpu for 0311 official bios tests.
