Hi to everyone
I have been reading threads here from other members for a few years now its a great site for help and tips, infact i overclocked my Maximus V Extreme on the advice from other posts by Members / Admins, never thinking I would have to post a new thread myself asking for help from the very knowledgeable Members / Admins here... 😄

Finished building my system last week, it started up then closed down and restarted again i think it rebooted 3 times seemed strange, I had read here someone else was asking that very question and he was told this was normal behavior, I pressed Del went straight into the UEFI.. I thought sweet love it when you build a sys and it posts straight into the UEFI, noted what version it was 0603.

At this point didn't even have an OS installed all settings were at default , as I have done in the past I always update to the latest UEFI if a new one is available which there was, 0802...

Also I had read the guide from Chino stating that a lot of people were having problems with trying to get the memory running at the XMP seeing as I had the same G.Skill memory as this guide I thought way to go.

I used an 8Gb usb2 stick, formatted in the fat32 file format and placed it on the 1st Rog connect port (flashback) I had downloaded the file from Asus UK site, also the renamer I had the 0802 named R5E.CAP. Everything went fine I rebooted, went straight to a black screen with message.

BIOS is updating.
Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system boot failure.



Waited a good half hour, nothing was happening thought well I have 2nd Bios I can boot into that, came up with the same message, now I was really sweating, had to do another reboot , hopefully it was still a crashfree bios went onto my Asus lappie downloaded the 0703 file cleared the CMOS button, still same message, downloaded the 0603 back in business, phew thought I had a dead mobo on my hands, not a nice way to spend a Saturday nite trying to sort out your pride and joy.

95% of my mobos have been from Asus never had this problem befor I know you will say keep the 0603 bios, but any new improvements I want them, unless its really unnecessary I have seen a few posts here with others having the same problem as me, didn't want to hijack their threads.


As it happens I'm having a right old time trying to get my G. Skills Ripjaws 4 to there XMP of 3000 Mhz...
I have 4 sticks = 16Gbs fitted in the Red Dimms.


Also the clock was losing time about 12 - 15 hours hopefully just a dude battery, changed the battery today seems alright will keep an eye on it.


I can't do the 5 way optimization, when it goes to shut down it just hangs, I have to switch power off at the PSU then it boots back up with the db error (Memory). so im stuck at 3000 Ghz on the 5960X Cpu and 2166 Mhz on the memory.

I will do a video of what happens for Asus support it might help, I will do the update with EZ Flash 2

Just remembered also did an update through AI suite 111 went fine until it rebooted got the same screen.

Thanks

Hopefully we can get this sorted. 😄
