yeah i think alot of the issues stem from people not knowing what settings they should run with...and when they flash they forget to change things back...

Yup...

this was not the case for me though

No the Intel SATA Controller was set to RAID, I reset it to RAID otherwise my RAID array would no come back online.  All other settings i went through thoroughly like i always do.

You really should look at the person before making assumptions, possibly some new guy would make a mistake like that...

dont get mad at me because your board doesnt work bro, even the most veteran people forget the stupidest crap. sometimes you double check and say "damnit, i missed that one thing.." turns out that one thing is AHCI or something like that

Whos board doesnt work?
 
And yes veterans do make mistakes but i hope most of them would double check everything before coming to the forums and suggesting there is a problem.  If i come across a problem the first thing i dont do is come on the forum and rant how thing dont work,
 
What i do get annoyed about are all these sweeping statements made by people who are starting to come across as elitists.
 
Also point 1 i use RAID, point 2 how the hell is an AHCI setting going to cause USB devices and Controllers to crap out...
 
These forums are becoming worse for people with Egos or elitist attitudes (and you need to have one to make such a statement that make such a huge assumption about a large part of the community and voice it in such a way that it comes acroos like a fact) and i am not the only one whos noticed it.

he a newbie, Molten. Don't pay him no mind!

I just want to point out there is a difference suggesting somehting like you did and stating that it is likely the problem because the person doenst really know what they are doing like Alex did. I do appreciate suggestions/help, I just dont like silly sweeping statements. that said i am not going to lose any sleep over it.
 
Also i have to laugh at these people pushing a 4.3-4.4GHz OC using the BClock complaining that they cant use S3 resume with it, Golden.

firerx

yeah, that, been a know issue for quite a while now!

I may have more sympathy if they werent trying to psh such an extreme OC, it may be "normal" for a D0 to get to 4.3-4.4 but they still have to push the BClock pretty far from its original 133 to get the OC, it can not be expected for things that are sensitive to the BClock speed/Overclocks in general, such as S3 resume, to work when your overclocking to that extreme.  If you want to use S3 resume so much back down your OC, i doubt you will notice much difference if any between your 4.4GHz OC and a 4.0GHz one.

I can confirm as well that VT isn't working in this BIOS at all.

VT doesn't work here either.  Gotta go back

Just updated from 44 to 49 and so far so good.  49 seems to post faster which is awesome! (maybe its just me, I didn't time it) 

Still get the double power pump when powering on after there was no power going to the pc.  This normal?

Also does anyone have a problem with the Ethernet ports not working after booting from a double power pump? To fix it I have to unplug the network cable and plug it back in.  With the 44 bios I had to leave it unpluged for about 10 seconds before plugin it back in for the Ethernet port to work again.  Tired the newest drivers posted on EVGA and the one from windows update. With the 49 bios I can just unplug it then plug it right back in and I'm good to go.  Anyone else get this?

Not sure if this info is useful or not but I would like to add that in the bios I have both LAN ports set to AUTO but I only use 1 port, the lower one closest to the audio ports.  Thanks for any help anyone can provide. :)

Well after being stuck on post code 75.  After 10 minutes it moved to 7F (Post error check).  It has been on this screen for over 10 minutes and refuses to move further.

Current screen states CPU has been changed.

Does anybody have any suggestions how I can get past this so I can reflash to an earlier bios?
 
Pressing delete to enter bios or F1 to continue does nothing.
Am I the only one that has this problem.  It appears as if Eleet screwed up my Bios.
 
Has anybody successfully used Eleet with this bios?

Have you totally shut the system down with PSU shut off, removed battery, and then cleared cmos before booting? Also do not use any saved profiles. Set up bios manually.

System worked fine for 2 days after the Bios update.  Used Eleet to bump Bclk a couple notches, system froze.  Removing power was the only way to shut down.
 
First boot following shut down caused a post code 8F, restarted got a post code 75.
 
Shut down removed all power and cmos battery.  After 5 minutes put battery back in and restarted.  Stuck on post code 75, after 10 minutes of being on post code 75 it changed to 7F and would not change, pressing F1 to continue or Delete to enter setup does nothing.
 
Tried resetting bios by pulling battery a second time got the same results.  It seems as if Eleet has screwed up my bios somehow.
 
Also on the current bios screen it seems to only have recognized my 4 SSD's and not my WD black or my Seagate hard drives.
 
All was good until I used Eleet.
 
I don't use saved profiles, I always set it up manually.  I can't even get into the bios or past this screen so I can reflash.  I am stuck at the screen that says:
CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded
Warning! CPU has been changed.
Please re-enter CPU setting in the CMOS setup and remember to save before quit!
 
Pressing F1 or Delete does nothing.

I am now unhappy to report a few things.   S3 resume is not busted for me at any bclk.   It works if I resume within a few minutes after shutting down but if i leave the computer for any extended period of time and come back, the resume just hangs.

in addition, i have to completely power down and back up, sometimes more than once to get it to reboot.

this bios is *rap.

in fact, I am so tired of fighting S3,  I may switch boards.

So, you can resume from S3 at any BCLK if the system is warm? What's the largest BCLK have you tried?

This is definitely curious behavior!

At least you have the option to flash back.  I currently don't!

I am not sure if you tried this, but just throwing it in there. Have you removed all hardware like hard drives, CDROMs, USB devices or other accessories that may be connected? Just bare bones motherboard with VGA card.

Sorry, that was a question for mrmaint...

With just a barebones system it goes thru to the 7F post code fast and then just freezes there.  When I hit Del to enter setup nothing happens.  I have also tried useing 2 different PS/2 keyboards besides my usb board with no luck.
I also tried using the front usb ports.  I have lights but no functionality. 
 
I am starting to think this board is hosed.  Hopefully it didn't take anything else out with it.
 
I may have to reinstall my Asus P6T delux v2 mobo.  That would suck because I cannot restore my backup to it, due to different drivers.
 
Have anything else I can try?
 
Good thing I have a notebook or else I would be limited to a Blackberry!

Well, I will have to correct you on this because I actually roughly know the relationship between S3 and BCLK and if properly implemented, S3 should work at high BCLK values just fine.  Basically, S3 has a down-clock table, a preset set of BCLK values to which to lower the BCLK upon entering S3 and allow the board to resume and restore the proper clock on resume.  On E759 this table looks like the following 150 to 133, 170 to 150, 190 to 170, 210 to 190, 210+ to 210 and this extended hash table was implemented as of S22D.  This allows the E759 to actually resume successfully for high BCLK values, i.e., high overclocks.  AFAIK, no other board has this implemented correctly.

44 was the last bios
