I need a second opinion on an ill P4P800E DLX

Yesterday at 11pm my computer suddenly stopped working. I was unable to reboot until after several attempts I got an Over volt error. I had run at 1.5 in bios for months and never had a problem. I set everything back to stock. The computer would not exit the bios properly and it would never save the settings. Finally I just decided to F2 it and try to get into windows. I was unable to do that. The second time I tried I was told that hal.dll was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair windows with the windows install disc but then my bios became corrupt. I tried to reinstall the bios now the computer won't even post.

I think that its dead. This came on suddenly and I noticed no strange activities in operation until yesterday when the even occured. I want to know what could have caused this and if there is a remedy. I don't want to have to buy anything new until Jan-Feb so I'm open to options.

Specs of system in question-
Mother board -P4P800E-Deluxe
FSB -260*14
CPU -3.2e at 3.6 1.5 in bios
Cooling - Water
Mods -none

have you tryed to clear cmos take the battery out for a few min.s unplug power if that dont work try a new bios even from your asus cd

Tried it. No dice.

have you pulled it out of the case and bench tested it with just one stick of memory cpu and video card and try a ols pci video card if you have one around

Yes and all other components are working normally.

could be the board has gone bad you've tryed the cpu in another board and the memory

Yep. I tested the other parts in other rigs. I had to borrow someone else's mobo to test the processor but it has been tested.

have you checked out the power supply or tryed i know good one

Yes. The power supply is in working order. Fortron 530w. I tested it on a conroe rig so I couldn't simulate the same load.

well it's a shame to lose the board but im out of ideas for now sounds like a bad bios but if you've flashed it i guess that itcheck you caps to see if any are leaking and etc

Caps are fine. I'm suspicious of the BIOS as well but I have no way to change the BIOS on the board.

flash with you asus cd then clear the cmos with the jumper and pull battery then flash to what ever bois you want to run from the asus site

I don't think I have the Asus CD anymore. I tried with BIOS from ASUS site and it will find the file and then say that it couldn't find the file. I can't flash it from here. If I can't find the CD then I'll try and see if I can get someone in my dorm to flash the chip for me.

if you can down load the bois to the desk top open it rename it p4p800ed.rom then sent it to floppy or cd then boot with it in floppy or cd pres alt +f2 it will look for new bois hope this helps

Thats what I did. But the motherboad doesn't like it.

ok sorry i tryed had the samething with my p4c800ed it finely worked lot of missing around
