it will speed up the boot.

Guys who updated to new bios, check your PCI-E speed, I read PCI-E speed will drop down to 2x instead of 16x

Yes , it is obvious but how ?

My PCI-E is still operating at 16x.

My computer suddenly have a problem when "sometimes" it gives me garbage letter display in startup (before Windows) but sometimes the screen is also screen.

Is this because of the video card already? I wasn't OC'ing my VC, what could be the problem?

Anyway to get an s3 sleep update for ga-ep45-dq6?

What are you asking how to do, sorry just trying to help. I assume you know how to check PCIE Speed due to your comment, but if not check with GPU-z >>

Yes this sounds like a GFX Problem, but are you using the latest BIOS? If not please update.

If you are, anyway you can test this card in another system, or test a different card in your system?

Should be fine since a long time ago, are you sure your BIOS settings are 100% Stable?

12 hrs prime 95 stable

My mistake , i wasn't clear enough.

PCI-E speed is 16x (checked with GPU-Z).

I was asking about the "quick boot" option in bios. It is obvious that it speeds the boot time ( in my machine it speeds boot time by 3sec) , but how it does that ?

[Lsdmeasap]

How about Memtest86+? And how about LinX or Intel Burn Test? 12 hours is not enough to be sure really.

P45 non UDx models have sleep fixed a long time ago, that is why I asked. I assume you are of course already using the latest BIOS right? If so you should be able to resume without issues, unless you are not as stable as you thought.

I'd go for Memtest instead of Memtest86, testing if the new BIOS solved the 2.66D issue (high FSB 420+ and high RAM frequencies result in very high vRam to be stable). I think QuickBoot skips the Ram and Ide/Sata checks. There is also no 9.5 ratio for my E8400 :(
