Hello everyone!
Not too long ago, I posted about a bios update that seemed to go terribly wrong. Well, something else is afoot:
>Updated the bios on my Asus P5b Deluxe Wifi/AP (LGA 775) to 1238 (final version).
>After that, could only boot once per cmos clear, but would never restart, no error codes or beeps.
>I though it must have failed (after trying to re-flash it a bunch) and bought a new board with the final bios (brand new, same model).
>Had the same issue (one boot per cmos clear) so I replaced my EE 965 with a Pentium D 820 that I had.
>Boots fine, the old extreme edition must have been bad (or so I thought).
>Purchased another extreme edition, same problem.
New board, new cpu, same issue.
Could this new bios version be faulty with the Pentium Extreme Edition 965? Since I can get into the bios once per cmos clear, I tried turning off hyperthreading, virtualization, and the like hoping that it would let me restart once. No go. I am also unable to change the cpu multiplier. This seems normal since even with the old, functional bios the first time it booted up it was stuck at "auto" until the next restart. Defaults to around 3.2 Ghz at first. Loading defaults and continuing will let you boot into windows once, but upon next restart nothing happens.
What can I do?
Thanks,

P.S. I have already tried, on both boards, only using one stick of ram.
