A7V266-E: Voltage at 13.37 V after flashing BIOS
Hallo,
I just needed to flash my BIOS of the A7V266 with a new BIOS (AE1011.AWD) because I got a new CPU that is not supported by the older BIOS. I downloaded both, the 1011 and the 1014 beta from the web-site of ASUS and flashed the BIOS successfully. Everything works so far, the Athlon 2200+ is working, but te ASUS-Probe now gives me always an error message, that the 12 V current is now at 13.37 V. Since now my DVD-drive suddenly doesn't read DVDs anymore (normal CD's are fine) and also another DVD-drive shows the same effect, I wonder whether the mainboard may suffer damage from the higher voltage. From the ASUS-support I didn't recieve any answer on several emails :-((( Does anybody know? Thanks a lot Jochen --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net Complaints to |

The BIOS does not have any control over the power supply voltages.
That is the sole responsibility of the power supply itself. If it is actually too high, the power supply could be faulty. Only way to really tell for sure is to measure with a voltmeter/multimeter. The reported high voltage reading should only be an error in the BIOS hardware voltage monitoring routines, or the ASUS probe program itself. What does the voltage read in the BIOS hardware monitor?

I had exactly the same problem except voltage was 13.184 and occasionally
would go to 13.2 something. I now have the same PSU (enermax 350watt) in another machine and that reports 12.1v so I no longer believe that the Asus monitor was reporting the correct voltage.

Hallo,
well, the hardware monitor in the BIOS says: 12.64 V, PC-Probe still at 13.367 V , Hmmmmm I also had problems to imagine that the BIOS can influence the voltage but everything is possible - As I didn't change anything else except flashing the BIOS when the voltage went up from 12.00 V to 13.367 V there are not so many possibilities. And after I lost one Athlon due to overheating I am concerned ... Thanks Jochen "Muttley" wrote in message news The BIOS does not have any control over the power supply voltages.
