Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

Update: RMA'd motherboard to Asustek, and received good replacement. Completed system build, and have been running for two weeks with no further incidents. The new system has achieved all of the goals I anticipated with it. Problem was not caused by the video card, CPU heatsink pressure...

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

Never heard of overtightened heatsinks or mouse conflicts with POST, either, but did start the MB with nothing attached, and still got the same non-response. I have RMA'd the MB back to ASUS, because Comp-U-Plus says I've had it too long (even though it never worked). Will post the results...

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

More for JWARK: When I said "this MB," I meant mine. The P4S800D requires BIOS Rev. 1005 for compatibility with the P4-2.40A CPU.

The link in my previous post doesn't work as-is. Use http://www.asus.com/support/cpusupport/ to get to the compatibility page.

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

UPDATE: I replaced the P4-2.40A with a P4-2.80E, which should work with any BIOS version used by this MB, but the BIOS still doesn't POST. I'm happier with the potential of the 2.80E, so I have no regrets about purchasing it, but CPU-BIOS compatibility doesn't seem to have been the problem...

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

Good point about SSE3 support. It appears I could have the best of both worlds with the 2.80E, and still not break my budget. Regarding my current dilemma, I thought about upgrading the BIOS, but the fact that Intel does not recommend any ASUS MB for the 2.40A makes me a little nervous. It's...

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

Thank you both for your effort. I have been researching this further, and can't locate the source where I thought I read that BIOS Ver 1001 would have little effect on the CPU. In fact, the Intel Website does not recommend any ASUS MB for their P4 2.40A, even though the ASUS Website says its...

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

I believe you've lost sight of the problem. It's not a dead board, I just have no video output. The board "runs," and sounds from the system are normal for power-on. I get lights, fans, clicks and whirrs, but have no way to tell what is happening without video. I checked the voltage...

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

Know for a fact only from mfr's. literature, but can't recall where I found it and don't have time to do the research twice. I'm satisfied that the CPU feature restrictions are minor until the BIOS can be flashed to 1002. As I remember, they consisted of things like can't address all of 1MB...

MB is V1.02 BIOS is 1001, but that only limits the CPU features the board can use. It should not keep it from booting. Ya gotta' get it runnin' before ya can flash the BIOS.

Asus P4P800-E Deluxe startup problem

Thanks for your response, Zap. I'm sorry it took so long to acknowledge, but my main computer went down while I was involved with this new build (something about not being fully ACPI compliant after 4 years of service under WIN2K Server, and a BIOS upgrade by the manufacturer last year) -- but...

*** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

Does anyone know for sure if any specific mounting holes in the P4P800-E Deluxe need to be insulated from the case (Antec Sonata)? I have screws in every mounting hole.

About every 4 years, I build a new office system. This time, I selected a P4P800-E Deluxe MB and ATI AIW9600 AGP card. The hardware assembly is completed, but when I power on to try to set up the BIOS, the monitor displays "Please check the signal cable," signifying that it is not getting a...
