What does this do?

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
So, to clarify, does the PC post fully and then stop when it would normally start to load Windows? If so, you could try returning everything to default in the bios, or even re-downloading the old bios on another PC and installing it from a USB stick.
If it doesn't get to the point when you can enter the bios, then I don't really know what to suggest. You could try clearing the cmos, but I doubt that'd change anything if it's just been flashed. I guess there's the whole disconnect all peripherals and all but one RAM stick process...

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
After flashing the BIOS did you clear CMOS?

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
Two beeps/pause/two beeps is Video error according to Intel....... it's not seeing your card for some reason.

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
This is where I read that....... Desktop Boards — BIOS beep codes
Kind of generic and not a whole lot there. As for clearing CMOS, during the flash, looking for PCI-e video first may not be set correctly.... Clearing it will set to a factory bootable state. some boards need this.

Now as i said i have never had an isue with bios flashes before... Tell me how this is done... I have already taken out the jumper according to the pdf on how to reset the bios if the system don't reboot.. nothing is happening. There is no vga output from the board,so this is were im lost. I had to borrow my sisters laptop...this were my only option to get help. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
If that doesn't work, you could try sticking the card in the other slot too, just in case.
EDIT: The system won't boot with the clear-CMOS jumper removed, or in its alternative position. You turn it on for ten seconds like that and nothing is supposed to happen. Then you turn it off, put the jumper back in its original position and fire it up as normal. At that point something is supposed to happen.

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
So you're confident that you've cleared the CMOS? I've never known a board without onboard graphics that won't default to pci-e graphics upon CMOS reset.

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
i have not said that i have cleared the cmos yet... Still looking how to do so.
EDIT: i now wonder if going by the PDF) i cant select the options due to a wireless keyboard... My wired one is up in the loft.which i will have to get it tomorrow. Last edited by MIG-31; Jun 5, 2011 at 10:47 PM. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
If you could normally get into setup with that wireless keyboard then after clearing CMOS should be no problem, if you couldn't then you will need the other keyboard.
There should be a jumper to clear CMOS on the board, usually near the battery and sometimes marked.... but it's going to be mentioned in the manual anyways.

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
Intel dont use the clear CMOS method on their boards, not a normal version of it anyway. They go with a config mode where moving ot pins 2-3 then powering on gets the user to a config mode BIOS (think safe mode). From there the CMOS can be reset or settings configured to the users liking before saving, powering down and moving the jumper back.
There is a recovery mode as you suggested... but that shouldnt be required I would hope... Craig will be along to offer more advice soon as he is the expert on that board. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
![]() The post error you described is as Ty said a video error, I take it you've reseated the card and checked both power connectors. After that you want the jumper in configure mode above pins 2-3 give it a few minutes to load the config and press F9 to reset to default. I haven't used a wireless keyboard with it, so i can't help you on that thought. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
36 seems to be about a recovery error.
For the next step, as you say try the wired keyboard. I would also try the alternate graphics card when you can and maybe even try the alternate PCIe slot for it too, see if that gets past the video error beeps. Hopefully removing the jumper, attaching the wired keyboard and turning on with the .BIO on the root off a FAT32 USB drive will solve this as you suspect. If it doesnt, we can look at getting it sent back here for me to look at. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
Sorry stu.
I have tried the wired keyboard to no prevail. I have also tried the jumper in recovery mode.. And to see if it will work without the jumper.. I still can not get into bios and still get the gc beeps. I can't try another GC for a little while... But i have tried the GC in my other pc and that goes through the post sreen fine. As i said erlier i have never had an issue with bios update before...As i mentioned i used the EXE. version,it did not flash through windows..It rebooted the pc into dos. now i just wish i left it as it were as i just like to keep updated... |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
No probs. Will get it sorted for you. PM me with a suitable day for pickup and I will send the courier round to bring it here and see what I can do. (include your mobile number in it so i can pass that to them also).
If tomorrow is suitable then I can get it back to you for Friday hopefully. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
Id like to thank all of the guys who offered a little advice....And it is greatly appreciated....
I can confirm the bios update is ok and the motherboard is not screwed up. Now for one thing i can not thik of apart from the Inno3D 460 donated by stu...Simply is not working on this board after the bios flash....And still works on my other pc... I have had to borrow a 7300 LE for a day or two... Boots up fine. So that one headache sorted out. Thanks all. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
Good news... have you tried configuring the BIOS and then putting in the Inno3D once its all set up?

But i have not tried the card yet... Its easy to put in place but a sod to get out due to the huge cpu heastsink. I may give it a try tomorrow... I have had enough of trying to sort it out. EDIT: Btw i dont see how different it will be as the 7300 LE let the pc boot up straight away without needing to alter the bios. Last edited by MIG-31; Jun 6, 2011 at 09:09 PM. |

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
Excellent news
![]() Hopefully that Inno3D card will still be accepted as a "secondary" card when you have your SLI set up.

Re: Intel dp55wg bios problem
Seems this is an issue with the new bios causing the gfx to no longer function: DP55KG & Latest BIOS 5926 Problem: Intel Communities
I would roll it back until a new one is released |

I wsent into maplin to see about prices of the cards...As he asked what were the problem. He sudgest and it sounds more than a strong posibility that the GFX cards don't like the new bios. and i would have an issue with any of the relatvliy new cards... So whats the best way to roll back.. just reflash with the previous bios or recovery mode ? |
