Nope I fought with it for awhile. Cleared the BIOS, flashed the BIOS, re-seated the CPU.

Only thing left that I can think of is to pull the battery and wipe the BIOS right out. But that is a big job on the Sabertooth. I need to take the entire PC apart take out the motherboard and take off the Thermal Armor to get at the damn battery...

It's running fine at stock for now. I'm not really using it that much anyway. I will eventually attack it again soon I'm sure.

oh, I hope everything goes well for you, as for me I talked to amazon a bout returning the MoBo and they've offered me two options, either I send it back and get a new one as a replacement, or I keep it and they will refund me 40-50$,

what do you think is the best?

Well you have the opportunity to get a new one I say go for it.

I have had mine for a year now so no returns for me. RMA'ing thru ASUS is likely a nightmare so not sure what I'm going to do.

I know getting a new one is better, the problem is I don't live in the US, I live in Libya and sending it back and the new one will cost me a lot "shipping cost", So I'm still thinking about what to do.

PS is asus support that bad? every buddy says it's like a nightmare :cry:

Yeah I have never heard anything good about ASUS RMA.

Well I mean if it's going to cost you more than the $50 they will offer you to ship it back you have to decide. A bummed motherboard and $50 or a new one(which is gonna cost alot more than $50

)

Abdo shniba · Jul 21, 2012

oooh, decisions decisions decisions :banghead:

, I'll check with the shipping company and see how much will it cost me, if it was alot, I'll just get the refund, the board is working fine and the 40-50$ should cover the inability to overclock, and maybe "maybe" they will release a new bios to fix this in the future, finger crossed

Yeah I'm hoping for a new BIOS and flashing iit might "wake it up" ASUS has been good with putting out new BIOS's so hoping they keep it up.

Abdo shniba · Jul 21, 2012

I've just found out that it will cost me 150$+ for sending it back and an additional 50$+ for shipping the new one back to me, so, I'll just ask for \ accept the partial refund, I guess :shadedshu.

what do you think guys :twitch:

?

INSTG8R · Jul 21, 2012

Damn that's a new MoBo right there. That sucks.

Abdo shniba · Jul 24, 2012

Hi guys,
I just want to give you an update, it turned out that the bios is corrupted and that I need a new bios chip, also I've contacted amazon and told them about the problems Im having with the MoBo, they were kind enough and gave me a partial refund, 85$ and an additional 28$ because the MoBo dropped in price, I bought it for 189,99$, now I'll just get a new bios chip and enjoy my pc, what do you think of this guys? I've got a good deal right?

And once again a big thanks for everyone who tried to help me, much appreciated

i highly doubt it was the BIOS chip.

Abdo shniba · Sep 8, 2012

Hi guys,

I just want to give you a quick update,
I solved the problem using AMI Flash Tool, a member in hardforum helped me,
here is how

I used the 3.0.3 v

, and updated the bios using ami windows flash utility following the instruction in the link above, it was so easy and worked like a charm, I hope this method helps anyone having the same issue.

INSTG8R · Sep 8, 2012

Hehe congrats. I just gave up and got lucky and managed to find ONE of the same Mobo on Demo(P67 are getting very scarce here) and just ordered it. I will get around trying to RMA the other board. If it gets fixed just sell it. Been running perfectly, pretty much identical as the first one(OC, Volts etc.)

I "may" give that BIOS flash trick a go, but such a pain tearing down my rig to swap boards to "take a chance" Thanks for the link tho :toast:

Abdo shniba · Sep 8, 2012

thanks and welcome, I think you should try the same as it worked successfully with alot of people, and skip all the RMA process with asus, it wont take much time, just do an external build and flash it, how much would it take compared to sending the MoBo for RMA? 2 hours at most .vs. 5 days at least don't you think?

somebody please shoot me if it is legitimately called "igpu". IF it isnt someone please shoot me because we at TPU have obviously failed the new generation.

Just so he's not alone I thought the same thing. Its an IGP, always has been and always should be.

I just registered because I wanted to thank you for returning and sharing your resolve. I have been many weeks into a very frustrating experience and although people here and on other forums are really quite helpful in many situations and so many people willing to help such as yourself, i was not able to find a solution until your post. I could hardly believe my eyes when I used the ami flash utility to 'fully' restore my bios. Now things are working perfectly and I can cancel the RMA for my cpu. :rockout:

You are very welcome

, glad it helped you, also what you said is very true, it was frustrating experience and every body kept suggesting RMA-ing the MoBo, I was very relieved to find such an easy way to solve the problem as I didn't want to go through asus RMA process which I head it was so bad "although I was lucky, they were very helpful helpful when I had to RMA my gtx 670 top, as at the end they replaced it with a gtx 680 oc",

good luck
