First calm down a bit, then try to give us more specific questions and problem descriptions.

Heh yeah take a breath and you will get through this More information about what settings etc you have been trying would be helpful.

For starters though verify that you do not set your corsair xms memory to cas3.0 or you will have to clear cmos (I mention this only because you said that you have had to and this is one possible reason).

One thing is that you might have a crappy bios. Asus put your bios (.004) up for like a day and took it down and put up bios 003. Maybe they took it took it down kuzz it was fault. Try 1001c or the latest beta bios on Asus's site and see if you problems are still there.

I just flashed to the 1002 3 bios. What should i set my agp bus to (ti-4600)? Do you have to go up in fsb a certain # per time?? Like 2mhz per time? This bios is beter running @ 2.1 so far

Set the AGP bus to 66MHz. And yes, slowly increase your FSB.

1001.c ?

I finally got my board, and yes this bios is very flaky. Man it took me an hour and a half just to get it to post. Sometimes it would let you go into bios, sometimes a blank screen. Clearing cmos didn't help. I really don't even know what i did to get it to run... Think it was after i moved the jumper on the board to 200 FSB. I bought a new 1800 Tbred and 3200ddr today, hoping to get a better OC than my 1600 ddr2100 was getting. It dont like it. It will not post with the new ddr400 in the #1 simm socket. Moved it to #3 and it runs, Bios says that the 1800 is running a 6.5 multiplier. Try to change it, it says different than what SiSoft Sandra says it is. This bios is crap. I love the board, hate the bios. It's just too flaky. I've been trying for the last hour to get a new bios from asus.. Guess what, there servers are overloaded and i can't connect. Surprise.

Use BIOS 1001.C or 1002.001. Those seem to be the most tolerant BIOS's to use if you're changing your multis.

Asus site can be slow but it's probably got something to to with the massive DoS attacks which happened in the states around the time of your posting......... 5 or more of the Root DNS servers are unreachable due to ......... A MS security hole, which guess what had a patch months ago. So for once don't blame Ms but the lazy Sys-Admin's

Although to be fair to the sys-admin's applying MS patches is just as dangerous as not applying them

Yeah, i finally got the flash. Did a search for the exact file name on Google. Got it from some other site. Luckily it was actually the correct flash. I was worried about flashing with something not directly from asus. But Most problems gone now. I am however gonna go get a new battery tomorrow. It still don't like to reboot when i make changes in the bios. Have to clear cmos...
