Problems with LAN slow to connect on P67A-D3-B3

[snadge]

mines running F3 i think... I updated BIOS via @BIOS when I installed it..

[snadge]

its when i edit in BIOS it does this

Just a thought as you mentioned that the problem is when you edit the BIOS. Try making sure that your two BIOS chips hold the same version of the BIOS file.


To check, go into the BIOS and on the MAIN page press F9 for system info.   You should see both BIOS versions listed, if they do not match please update the backup BIOS to match the current.

To do that, reboot and where you would normally press DEL to enter the BIOS, instead press Alt + F12, this will flash the Backup BIOS with the MAIN BIOS contents.   Do not worry when you see a recovery comment, that is normal and means it is flashing the backup BIOS.

actually i just edited BIOS again and it hasnt done this..

i will check for both bios chips to see if been flashed.. i done this using @BIOS on windows..

do I just do what you say? dont i need firmware on USB stick or aything?

[snadge]

it doesnt have TWO bios's in the F9 info = just BIOS = F9
the instructions at bottom say F11 to flash to cmos and F12 to flash to BIOS or summit like that

do i need to press ALT at al?

[Dark Mantis]

When you are in the BIOS main page you should only have to press F9 to see the extra information. You will have to press ALT+F12 to get the BIOSes synchronised.

[snadge]

there is only ONE BIOS version there at all, when i press F9 that is...

I followed your instructions pressing ALT+F12 at boot which presented me with an option to flash one bios with the other - however, when i get into BIOS again it still shows just one BIOS there with F3 as its value but this time it showed the proper overclocked speed of the CPU rather than stock speed, im sure anyway..

Im also having problems with Vcore voltage missing from bios so cant adjust the clock voltage - i appreciate that it does this automatically but i would like to tweak

is there a problem with this board?
ive built this computer for my dad £650, and it needs to be sorted by monday as thats when we are driving up to his 350 miles away and he is incapable of replacing boards etc

[snadge]

..do i have to clear the cmos? how do i do this?

it only shows 1 BIOS in F9 even after doing at ALT+F12

[Dark Mantis]

It might be that you still have one of the original BIOSes that didn't respond to the F9 command. They still work the same though so if you have the latest BIOS update on your Main BIOS then you can copy it accross to the Backup BIOS by doing what I advised. It just won't show you that it is doing it.

No need to flash the BIOS again unless you still have an outdated version.

[snadge]

like I say i followed your advice and it done it but when i went back to F9 after rebooting it still showed only 1 window with 1 bios version in it (and CPU speed, type, memory, lan mac address etc)

is this a problem? is one of the bios's broken?

[Dark Mantis]

No it is just like I explained just now. The earlier BIOSes didn't actually respond to the command and so you can't see both BIOSes.  When you update to a new BIOS version at some stage you should find that it will show as normal whan you try the F9 trick.

ALSO

how do i flash the BIOS with F4d..? do i stick it on a blank USB stick? are there clear instructions?

[Dark Mantis]

You didn't flash the BIOS just looked at the ionformation about it. Flashing it is totally different. Yours is no different to anybody elses. F3 is the latest full version but the F4d is available and you should try using that one as ex58 linked you to.
