Hi Emily,
Any findings ?

I tried many things to get this sorted out,
nothing worked.

For sure the Channel B (or A I do not remember) of the ram and the middle pci express slots are not working.
I cannot test the bottom pci express slot (to low in my tower)

New UEFI (for P67 Extreme4) seems to work like a charm:




ASRock P67 Extreme4 - updated - Minus

The new icons and background looks nice, even the new features are useful. For most people it works nicely, but for some of us, its pointless with the bugs and glitches we have to deal with.

Emily will ask Asrock Europe to send me a bios rom progammed with the old 2.00 version.
Thanks to her !

Radier,
Can you check if 4 slots are working fine ?
Could you check if the fsb multiplier can go up to 50 ?

[radier]

I have only 2 memory modules in my rig.
My OC didn't changed which means that it is working like on previous UEFI.
Generally speaking no issues to report.

RAdier, please move one memory to another slot and see if both are stil lrecognized,
Could you do this for me please ?

Can extreme 4 board do sli as well ?
If this isthe case, could you attach the vga board to another x16 pci express slot and check if this is fine ?

[radier]

My cooler is to big so I can not use other slots (those closer to the socket)
Extreme4 can do SLi and Crossfire but I don't think that UEFI did broke anything. No time to do this kind of test.

How can you assume nothing has been affected by the new bios if you are not testing the failure I get (one memory bank not working, one pci express slot not working).

It seems that you complains on every post when people have problems flashing the latest bios,
but aside complaining and tell "that's all your fault, do not update the bios if the system is ok", nothing that can help others to solve the problem.
Imagine now that with your latest bios the pci express slot 2 also does not work, or the other memory bank,
wouldn't that help Asrock to sort this out ?

Have a nice day.
