Q9300 isn't supported, no yorkfields are. BIOS 1301 will hopefully be coming out soon, so maybe then? I doubt it though.

I have the same board and cpu.
What bios do you have, have you added any extra cooling to the north bridge, what is the ram you are using(Timings and voltage) and what is the 600watt PSU (make & model)

I use slots 2 and 4 for my ram as well, I have seen a few people saying that these slots seem to be more stable.

Hi,
Has anyone tried the 1301 beta bios? the reason im asking is because im having trouble with lowering multis with my E5200 on the 1201 bios.

I want to try it, but the only news I've had of it was someone in the asus forums with like 10 posts saying he got it in an email.

I'm not trusting this guy with my motherboard!

Whoo, someone else is having the 800MHz RAM problem? I had that a while too, never figured out what was wrong. I've tried upping the ram voltages 1, two notches, setting it on auto, etc, and my system still hangs with 800MHz 2x2gb, but runs fine with 667MHz 2x2gb. Anyone wanna try to figure out why its effed? lol

Make sure you have your ram set to the timings and voltage set to the values specified by the manufacturer.

Been there, done that. Ive tried setting the secondary timings too, from what I've found online. No go no matter what I set for timings.

Does anyone know what is the most accurate program to monitor voltages on this board? I use HWMonitor, and it used to be consistent with what I set in BIOS: i.e. I set 1.10V +100mV in BIOS, and it would report 1.20V when idle and drop down to ~1.10V when under load.

Not sure why, but now HWMonitor is no longer reporting the same. Using the exact same settings and hardware, it would report 1.25V at idle. I downloaded Speedfan 4.35 and it reports 1.18V at idle. Which one is right?

use the latest version of coretemp.

anyone having any luck using the 1201 bios? Im thinking it might cure my issue. I had a pretty stable OC specs are still the same on my rig. Was running xp 64 now im runnin vista 64 and sometimes when I watch a movie or play an old pinball game it will screen lock on me and I have to do a hard reset. I can play any of the top games just fine. Anyone else having an issue with this? I havent ran orthos or prime on vista 64 yet but my voltages are as follows

Vcore posting at 1.325 with +100 enabled
Vdimm @ 2.17
NB @ 1.5
mem timings set to 1:1
Just cant figure this screen lock out. If I set my clock settings to default it doesnt do it so I know it lies in my oc somewhere. Was thinking maybe updating my bios to 1201 may cure it but its a long shot. Im running 0901 currently.
