Correct me if im wrong but i think most ppl have HT turned off. Could explain the "system failed cpu test" stuff.

 

I haven't heard that most people turn it off... I would hope that I can leave it on since my CPU supports it.

 

Iirc there was a thread about ppl with a working P4C 800 board. Think i read quite a few ppl having HT turned off in there.

 

I get the system failed due to overclocking on every boot. Computer runs fine. BIOS set to default except for voice POST. You can see what is on my system in Minor problems with Asus P4C800-E Deluxe or the working systems thread.

 

Is there a preferred BIOS version for this board? I see a lot of people using 1010 which is not the newest version, is it more stable?

Also, do most people let the BIOS autodetect CPU and memory settings, or set them manually?

Any luck with your problem Harry? Did you turn off the POST reporter??

Thanks.

 

I turned off the Voice POST and system booted with one beep, no problems.
Thanks

 

Glad to hear you are getting your problems sorted out :winkgrin:

Anyone else experiencing my problems of :

a) System failed cpu test
b) the Intel logo somtimes showing HT (Hyper-threading), sometimes just the plain Intel logo.

 

I've got HT enabled in the bios with no problems.

As far as leaving things set to Auto in reference to memory timings etc., that depends on whether you want to overclock your chip or not. You mentioned that you're seeing the "Overclock" failed message and usually this means that the settings that were changed in the bios in reference to this aren't working, so you must go back in and change them.

I've got my memory settings running at 2.5-4-4-8-infinite-auto. But remember you must use Memtest to test the settings before booting back into Windows.
