Asus p5b file errors

I did the memtest last night. Don't know where to go from here. I'm still waiting to get the RAM from waranty back to test it. Till then I was hoping to resolve the problem with these cab files errors. I said " That doesn't matter anyway because yesterday I got the new memory from warranty and mounted on the twin-sister DIMM so now I have the RAM that was on my brothers computer and worked!

Last night, while innocently surfing the web in finding a solution to this, BSOD comes in, for a fraction of a second and the system reboots. I am still having the corrupted installation problems. I don't know what is causing this behaviour. I'd try to modify the timings manually - if that even helped?? Hope to hear from you on this. Still, thinking that the RAM was previously on my brothers computer which has exactly the same configuration and worked!

But that made me verify once again the latest for the "plus" board and it seems that yesterday was released a new version on the Asus website. I've tried the RAM sticks that I'm currently using, on my brother's computer too. It has the exact same configuration and it's working like a charm.

I have my actual faulty one computer, my old computer and my brother's connected in LAN. So that means that the files that I copy on my actual computer really become corrupt. So, that means that the problem occurs when copying rather big files from a network or from a specific location on my HDD to another folder.

With these things in mind, I tried to install other games which worked on my old computer to see how it goes. Some work, some don't. My guess is that depending on the type of installation, the setup could finish ok if it doesn't involve big files being copied on the HDD or get an error if it copies files from the optical drive.

This is my conclusion and the next step is to RMA the mother board. PS: sorry for the long post, but hopefully somebody else with these problems will find this useful.

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. The motherboard comes with a standby power LED. This is a. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation.

The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below. Place six 6 screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis. DIMM A1. DIMM A2. DIMM B1. DIMM B2. Refer to 2. ASUS will process Return. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. Before installing the CPU, make sure that the cam box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left.

Press the load lever with your thumb A , then move it to the left B until it is released from the retention tab. Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the bottom left corner of the socket then fit the socket alignment key into the CPU notch. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. Refer to the Appendix for more information on these CPU features. Make sure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard. Make sure to orient each fastener with the narrow end of the groove pointing outward. The photo shows the groove shaded for emphasis. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the. Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector. Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the connector on the motherboard.

Rotate each fastener counterclockwise. Pull up two fasteners at a time in. Carefully remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard. Rotate each fastener clockwise to ensure reinstalling. The narrow end of the groove should point outward after resetting. Refer to the documentation in the boxed or stand-alone CPU fan package for detailed information on CPU fan installation. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration.

Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check the ODT value. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually.

Joined Aug 8, Messages 1, It saw the new BIOS file, verified it, flashed it, and verified it again. It said the procedure was successful, but on rebooting the system 5 seconds later, it hung.

So, I pressed the reset key, and it hung again. I powered it off and back on, but it hung. I then put the jumper back to its original setting, replaced the battery, turned out the power supply, and turned on the system--but it stlil hung. In all cases, the hang behaved as follows: the fans spin up as usual, the lights on the optical drives flashed on and off as usual, but the video card would never send any signal.

No beeps, no video. Antec TP W 20A on 12V rail etc The system had been working fine until the flash so it seems unlikely there's a hardware issue. Even so, I unplugged the sound card, an extra IDE controller, and all 3 hard disks, but this didn't fix the problem. The overclock was quite conservative, and CPU voltage was just 1. ASUS claims to have a "Crash free" bios option, which can recover from scenarios like this. But, it never detects a problem. Supposedly, it would say "bad CMOS checksum", but this never appears on the screen, and thus, it never gives me the opportunity to flash back to an older BIOS.

What can I do? Am I missing something obvious? I'll probably call ASUS later tonight and see what they say. I really don't want to RMA the board. OK OK, the problem is solved. This motherboard can apparently recover from a failed flash e. Luckily, that worked. I entered the BIOS setup, and increased the voltage to the memory from 1. The specification for the memory I have calls for 2.
