Re: WHEW!! Fixed It (was: What did BIOS 2205 do to my motherboard?)


Hi! I've been reading all this interesting stuff about the 2205 bios
version of the P5W DH Asus mobo, and I have to tell you this will
maybe help me with the issue I'm going through. Hope you can help me.

I recently got Windows vista ultimate. Before I install it, I thought
it would be best to have the most recent bios version of my mobo
installed, so I won't have any compatibility issues with Vista. I
think I was wrong, for now I am unable to install vista, when I run
the installation program (directly from the DVD) the installation
fails, a vista wallpaper appears and it stays there and the system
stop responding. The weird thing is that 4 months ago I installed, in
the exactly same machine the Vista Beta version and I didn´t have any
kind of problems. The only thing I've changed since then, is my
graphic card (I had a X1950 XTX card and I recently got a 8800 GTX
card) and the bios version of my mobo.

Do you think the bios version has anything to do with my Vista
installation issues?

Thanks!
