New Crosshair V Formula No Boot or BIOS Red LED

[RealGoneKid]

Hi I just got this Crosshair V Formula board, i installed all my peripherals but had a failure and now i am running just 1 hdd, 1 dvd drive, 1 graphics card and half my RAM.

PC Specs:

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
16GB Corsair Vengance 4 X 4GB 1600MHZ 1.50v ver 2.12
2 X ATI Sapphire HD5770 1GB
4 SATA HDD's 2 X 1.5TB & 2 X 2TB
1 X SATA BDRW Drive
1 X SATA DVDRW Drive
900w PSU 80+ SLI/Crossfire

The Parts are installed, on startup there is a slight pause then a beep (Found VGA),
Then monitor comes on with
S.M.A.R.T supported
Using Gen2
No Devices Found

Then a very brief Asus logo flash screen, then a full screen of data listing my CPU, my RAM (always what is installed) but at 1333mhz
my sata hdds and sata disk drives.
There is a red light on motherboard on center right (furthest right) led just to left is green.

The message ends
Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting.
"EC or EC Flash may be corrupt"

I have tried repeatedly to enter BIOS but cannot enter there.

If you can shed any light on my problem please help.

Thanks.

Before I start 1 more question, concerning the BIOS flash I have formatted a usb flash drive to fat32 and put the 0705 bios.rom in the root of that, is that correct please?

Yes, make sure that the bios.rom is the only file on the flash drive before flashing.

Hi, I flashed the bios and just completed the tuning guide (thank you for that), but now it will not boot into windows, logo comes up and then it fails, when i do safe mode it gets as far as the ati pcie64 bit then it also fails and revoots. Any ideas what my next step is from here?

Edit, I am still getting the red light on the ram qled.

ok i see from post above that ram needs to be tuned further, where do i start with this please?

[RealGoneKid]

CPU NB manual voltage keeps reverting to auto, i double checked it should be 1.200000 because dram voltage is 1.50000, still fails just after windows logo appears, could this be a graphics problem? I have just 1 in at moment in the top pcie slot.

Thanks.

i did flash my bios around week ago to 0705 and sofar no POST problem, crossing fingers that it fixed my problems and was all that i needed for stable pc untill BD 🙂

Put new board in with 1 stick of ram at end (furthest from cpu), 1 graphics card, cpu and h50 pump/fan, and ps2 keyboard, I got cpu fan error & no devices found but also f1 to run setup, i pressed f1 and now have a menu. Is this a good place to be, it's further than i got on saturday.
I am looking at rajas guide for 4gb RAM, I will flash BIOS 1st then adjust to those settings.

Keep it up bro, get your memory stable first, then it's all downhill from there.
