I'm really scratching my head now. Have you tried clearing the BIOS?
That's the 2 solder blobs marked CLRTC between all the pinouts and the IDE connectors.
Just short them out for a moment or two. Make sure that the green lamp is off though!

Tried shorting CLRTC with power supply disconnected. Now still boots ok to first screen one beep floppy starts up but has CMOS checksum error Defaults loaded.
Thanks

This board has no sound or video. I have the nvidia video card hooked up but no sound card as of yet. Could there be a jumper that I am overlooking in the owners manual .I keep looking at the manual and I think that every thing is set correctly. Some of these jumpers are hard to see.It took me a while to find the CLRTC.

I wonder if this site may help you?

According to Intel a black cpu is a PPGA which is NOT compatable to a CUSL2-C

Possibly the BIOS doesn,t recognise the CPU because sometimes it shows manual and other times it shows 566mhz Sometimes it starts at the main and sometimes at the advanced.

May be you should "reinstall" the BIOS firmware AGAIN.

I've experienced similar weird behaviour as you've described with another motherboard model, after upgrading the BIOS with a firmware update. I "reinstalled" the exact same firmware upgrade again, after which the system runned fine.

Can't quote you becaise it will not let me quote with URL's in it

I bookmarked the first site to refer to it later

I do not have the black processor. I pulled the CPU to make sure of the color and reinstalled it. Seems to have fixed the problem for now. Can get into BIOS and set date etc and CPU mhz. What should FSB:SDRAM:etc and FSB/SDRAM/etc be set at. Now both are set at 66 100 33.Thanks

This may be my next step I may try to upgrade the bios to a later version I found I think it is 1009 on the asus website. Thanks

Upgrade with their latest BIOS firmware: 1014c001.zip
(Upgrade your BIOS TWICE if you're still facing problems)
Downloadable at:
ftp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/s...815ep/cusl2-c/

BIOS 1014c001 is working excellent on my rather old CUSL2-C

I will hold off on the BIOS for now. I installed win2k on the 20GB harddrive and all seems ok for now. Maybe will do BIOS this weekend when I have more time. Am currently working on the two other units trying to set up wireless router and usb network adapters.

Hey guys . Have the wireless router and usb adapter working.
I am finally having time to attempt to upgrade my BIOS. If I understand correctly all I need is a floppy with AFLASH.EXE and the new BIOS(1014c.001) boot to BIOS and Type AFLASH and enter then type in the BIOS 1014c.001 and enter. I printed out the read me file on the AFLASH . If this is not correct please lead me in the right direction.
Thanks again.

Drufuss · 09-12-2006, 05:36 AM

You need a boot floppy (images with DR.Dos are avialable for download very often), put AFLASH and the BIOS-Image file on it.

But with the floppy into DOS.
Type AFLASH to start the program.
Enter the correct name of the BIOS image file when asked(backup up your old BIOS first).
Reboot.
That´s it.

Greetings

Dru
