P4P800 1016 BIOS

Hey all, if you have probs with this BIOS. revert
back to the old one (1015). There is definitely
something wrong with this 1016 BIOS. Well with XP
there is. I had constant crashing, BSOD's/random
reboots (Even when I unticked Automatically reboot it
rebooted constantly/often).

I also use Publisher 2002, and an HP Photosmart 145 printer. Before, when I
had 1016 of this BIOS,
and this printer was set as default, Publisher
would crash. You COULDN'T do anything in it.

Now that I have gone back to 1015, Publisher works
with this printer as default. NO probs at all.

It stuffs up your system fullstop!

Wait for 1017 if it ever comes out.

Pail,

Did you load setup defaults after you flashed the bios then re-set the
specific settings you need for your system to run?
If you didn't then there may be nothing wrong at all with the bios.

Yesterday for example, I had a printer refuse to work (I hadn't used it for
months) and found that in the bios it had become set to EPP mode only. Not
surprisingly this screwed up the driver operation. I have no idea how this
happened as I always load defaults and never touch the printer settings.

If you get a BSOD, then - even in what seems like such a clear cut
situation - I would look into the BSOD error, driver mentioned if any (no
doubt the HP driver) and follow through on this, because you did have a
solid reason for upgrading the BIOS didn't you?

It *may* be exactly as you say but... it may not.

Same problems occured on a friends machine I setup.
Random BSOD's and program glitches. I thought it
might have been the raid setup, are you using raid Paul?
The machine I had trouble with started having trouble
when I upgraded him from 2.8 P4 to a 3.0 HT P4.
They sent the wrong chip so now I put in the correct one he ordered
a P4 Prescott 3.0 GHz. I am still concerned about his memory
because the FSB went from 533-800.

Last thing I did was update to 1017beta bios couldn't go back to 1015
cause 1016 is required for Prescott according to Asus. No BSOD's
for 2 days and it screams !!! If BSOD's come back I'll float him
512 of my Corsair DDR400 and see if that resolves it.

Not true, you need 1014 for Prescott, I am currently running 1014 with a 2.8
(hotter than hell) Prescott.
When I recieved the board from Overclockers UK it had 1003 installed so I
had to borrow a 2.4 celeraon from my next door neighbour (nice guy, he had
to rip it out of his running system) to flash the Bios up. I chose 1014
because of a few posts I had seen on 1016 problems. Still running 1014 and
everything stable.

I have had no problems whatsoever with 1016 under XP.

Yup I set the default settings everytime I
flash the BIOS Tim. The P4P800 BIOS doesnt
have a EPP mode from what I can
see. Well I usually flash an update, if one comes
out.

I don;'t really have any particular reason tho. I just updated it.

Hey TK. Umm, nope not using Raid.

But do use 1 SATA 120GB hdd. XP detects
it OK (the sata). I think whatever 1016 has in it
it buggers up systems, which use P4's and when HT
is enabled. (I use a P4 2.4 here, with HT enabled).

What I had installed already has worked fine
for the last 2-3 years! This includes a firewire card
a TV tuner, 1GB ram, the sata and a 80 GB hdd.

It wasn't until I flashed 1016 that I starting having
major reboots/probs. I use the non-deluxe P4P800
btw.

What about HT?? Is Hyperthreading enabled?

If you use a P4 Ken?

Umm the P4P800 is an 800 FSB board TK

It may have been the previous CPU u had installed
was a 533 CPU? And the newer one was a 800 one?

That maybe why, it went from 533 to 800? That'll
be the CPU that changed the FSB? Not the memory?
