20 Most Recent ASUS P5VDC-MX Motherboard - Page 6 Questions & Answers

If your motherboard is revision 2 you can use DDR2 at 533 MHz otherwise only at 400Mhz.
To make the update you need to visit this download page and download the ASUS Update V6.10.01 from Utilies section and instal it. Check to have a version of Operating Sistem compatible with this application before installing it. If you don't have the manual you can download it from Manual section (direct link is here). On page 2-8 you can read the steps about how you can make the BIOS update. I recomend to use first method (Update BIOS from the internet) to be sure that you don't use a wrong BIOS file.

Only if they are in non-parallel sockets - i.e. slot 1 and 3 in a 4 place MB. If there are only 2 slots, then the 2 sticks need to match.

those components are embedded on the motherboard, they cannot be removed. If they have failed then the entire motherboard must be replaced. Maybe you need the drivers:

have you tested the memory sticks by booting with just one of them ?If yes and they are operational the go into the BIOS and set the memory timings to the slower ones of the both: speed - 533/133 MHz, all latencies at 4.

Helo frnd i think u should check the fsb of ram is compatible with ur mobo then try to install a compatible ram

Go to the ASUS website, or the vendor that sold you the board.

go to device manager and check for driver id and then download the driver for pci database.com

Remove the memory card in the motherboard and then clean the pins of the memory card by an eraser of a pencil and then plug it again. Start the computer and see if it works.

Go into the bios area and ensure that the video is switched to the slot your new video card is using, (PCIE, AGP etc)..

You should test the memory in another computer to see if it's recognized correctly.

You should also see if your motherboard will read another brand that 1gb in size.

You need to turn this OFF in the BIOS

Press DEL repeatedly as you power on to get into the BIOS

Then find the CHASSIS INTRUSION option and turn it off.

go to the following website and look for your motherboard model number, select your OS (Operating System) , click on audio, download and install the driver
reboot your pc and you should be able to listen your favorite music
Good luck

Number of Memory Slots: 2×184pin + 2×240pin
Memory Standard: DDR 400/DDR2 533
Maximum Memory Supported:2GB

PC6400(DDR2 800) is not supported by your motherboard. Also max memory is 2GB. PC4200 is the fastest memory you can install. There might be a BIOS update available from ASUS website to increase the speed but you would have to check the site.

Download it from here: http://www.centraldriver.net/driver.php?codigo=1800

Verify both DIMMs are the same size, speed and type. Most motherboard aren't capable of juggling different speed or size memory banks.

Try swapping the two DIMMs or reinstalling the nonfunctional DIMM in slot 0, alone, instead of in slot 1. If it does not work this way, it's probably busted or incompatible.

If it works, place the original first DIMM in slot 1. If it doesn't work, the two DIMMs are not compatible after all (or the slot itself is busted or there's some dirt in it preventing a good contact; it happens. Blow some compressed air from an air can to clear it).

That would be expected, because as mentioned above, its a motherboard manufactured for Fujitsu-Siemens, not maintained or supported by ASUS !!

The drivers can be obtainedfrom the chip vendors whose products are used on the board. ASUSdoesn't make Intel or Realtek chips.

Windows Update will have fairly recent drivers for every device on this board. Additionally, FSC maintained an all-encompassing driver update package for Scaleo models active between 2004 ~ 2006:

I sincerely hope that one of the above will work................sodeep

try to change the mobos battery.

If the audio balance is set for the right speaker then centre the balance setting.
If it is OK then :-
This proves that the audio card on the computer is faulty and the sound comes only from the left speaker.

Shut off windows system restore. (A must do first).
Update your antivirus software & perform a full system scan. When completed shut down your system. Unplug the power cord from the power supply. Open your case & touch the metal framing with your hand to discharge any static. Remove your system memory. Wait a minute or two. Re-install your memory. Close up your case. Plug the power cord back into the PS. Power up your system. Check windows for updates. Do not use the Express button. Use the Custom button.
Download all security updates & look to the left and install any hardware updates as well. Restart windows after updating.
There are viruses that attach themselves to *.exe files and they can restart your system. Running a system wide scan and pulling your memory takes any chance of a virus storing its self within your system memory. If this does not stop your system from restarting when opening a program. Uninstall that program. Restart your system. Than reinstall that program. You can turn windows system restore back on when you feel 100% sure your programs function correctly and windows does not restart its self. Create a system restore point.

Hope you find this helpful.
Cheers!
