Bios update install  

Hi Bare Foot Kid and others,

So sorry for being off for couple days.

Specification:
operating sys : windows7 hp 32bit
cpu : intel core2duo e6600 2.4gh
mb : asus p5k deluxe (3years old)
ram : corsair 2gb
gc : asus 6600gt fan less
hd : western digital wd6401aals
cooling : zalman water cooling
dvd drive : sony dvd rewriter ide connection

I did follow all your advise and it didnot work on my pc ahh..! After read from other member: howerdser on this forum who got succcess after he replaced the harddrive from 1TB 6gb/s to 500gb 3gb/s; welldone.

Today i bought a new harddrive: sata3 western digital wd6401aals 640gb 32mb cache 3gb/s to replace sata 640gb 64mb cache 6gb/s. My motherboard / southbridge is only support 3gb/s sata. BIOS can see sony drive and wd6401aals. But after i load Windows7 hp full Retail, windows loading and stop where they are 4 colour red, green, blue, yellow circleling aorund, that was it and then the screen went to sleep (black). I waited for 1 hour and it nothing change.

Tomorrow i'll buy a new Sata Optical drive, well we'll see if it going to work. And also i might buy Asus P8P67 motherboard

Is there any info guys it'll be appreciate

Hi thefabe, Thanks for reply. Is that my old bios motherboard causing the install wins7 problem ?

I am almost sure that your Windows 7 was perpectly installed when " windows loading and stop where they are 4 colour red, green, blue, yellow circleling aorund, that was it and then the screen went to sleep (black)" .

If it was perpectly installed, why the screen went to black forever?

I experienced the same problem 2 years ago when I installed 1 or 2 beta versions of Windows 7.

It might be the Nvidia Driver of your 6600gt fits not Windows 7 !!!

1. Download any Nvidia Driver newly released and save it, perhaps you would be
interested in this topic "Nvidia, Digital Vibrance and Image Sharpening",
2. Restart your PC and go to the Safe Mode,
3. Install the downloaded Nvidia Driver,
4. God bless my advice, and hope it works....

And, after restart the pc and go to the Safe Mode,

I believe, and I hope, both of us has undergone the same problem and would work it out the same way.

Good luck to you.

Eric, not necessarily. His board also has this,

CrashFree BIOS 3
Simply restore corrupted BIOS data from USB flash disk
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 allows users to restore corrupted BIOS data from a USB flash disk containing the BIOS file. This utility saves users the cost and hassle of buying a replacement BIOS chip.

One can do the same thing manually. Just copy/paste the original bios file and the flashing utility to a bootable thumb drive, then boot from the thumb and run the flasher.

Crashfree Bios probably packages all that stuff (bios file, flasher, boot files) together so its more convenient. Like the phoenix crisis recovery.

Hi peoples, Thanks for info.

Today bought a new LG optical sata drive to replace sony ide drive. Installed it, checked bios for LG drive - ok. Restarted pc and inserted Wins7 dvd disk on new drive. Wins7 loading........ and stop again on 4 colour red,green,blue,yellow and sleep with black screen. Waited 30 mnts. Ahhh....! that was it. I'll take it back to pcworld for refund.

Tomorrow i have to find the manual p5k deluxe + support dvd disk or buy usb flash memory and use it for recovery corrupted bios

Until now see you then...

Yesterday i downloaded bios v.0902 p5k deluxe from asus.com and also downloaded nvidia 6600gt latest driver. Saved it in usb memory stick then installed onto pc. Insert the usb stick to usb port, insert win7 disk to drive and turn on pc. While booting i press space bar, in second the screen showing in Safemode window. I press Enter in Safemode only, suddenly Win7 start install from beginning untill finish. Whoala...! What a surprised. I hadnot installed the bios v.0902 and 6600 driver yet.

So i Thank :) you to : stormy13, thefabe, woolswell, bare foot kid, gregrocker, theog, bill2, ponmayilal for ur info and sparetimes.

*But 1 prob is i can't use Creative Sound Blaster Xfi Fatality card because it is not compatible with Win7. I did download the win7 32 bit driver from creative.com but win7 is still refuse to install it

I need this Xfi Fatality ( THX Superb sound ) for listening music, dab radio and movies. Any solutions ?

Cheers
