Battling the Bluescreen. BIOS novice. Help!

On a working pc, get this to a disk:

http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

And this to a USB flash card:

http://support.asus.com/download/d [...] T%20Deluxe

Latest is Version 1403. Prior to flashing, clear cmos & load bios default. Flash bios. Load bios default again, go to power menu, set suspend to S3, save & exit.

Run memtest for 5-8 passes.

Hi all,

Thanks so much for the instructions! They're the first step by step instructions I've received on any forum. (Though there's a lot of helpful people out there, that's for sure. :-) )

I fear that the file you refer to is for the P6T Deluxe and not the P6T Deluxe v2 (my card). I currently have the latest BIOS version installed there I believe (0302).

Should I install the one you suggest instead?

Pat:
The BSOD is usually to quick for me to register in its entirety. It usually speaks of a hardware problem and that I should remove any newly installed hardware as its what causes the error.

I wonder if it might be the card I have as it is very new and probably not entirely fault free?

This is the report I got on my last blue screen:

Thanks so much for your replies! :-)

Allright :-)

I updated my Bios to the 403 version. Before that my PC have been relatively stable since last time, but the crashes are still there.

A new problem has occured though:
In the black start up screen it now stops at "Overclocking failed!" Then it gives me an option to press F1 for Setup or F2 for load default settings. The PC will not continue to load the OS unless I choose either. What do I need to do to end this? I don't want to overclock and I've never attempted to either.

Now I will do what you told me in the previous post. Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to clarify: I always choose "Load default", but I would like to be able to restart my PC without having to press F2 (Load default) every time it starts up. :-)

Hi Pat!

I updated my BIOS with the latest and its worked ever since! Turns out it was just an updated that was needed (though the update was not available when I posted here first. ) Thanks for all the advice guys! :-)
