The sleep issue may or may not be resolvable I'll have to confirm. I have taken down all these issues and a working with a friend to go about this

The sleep issue is also when you try to restart and the screen goes black and fans and HDD led are full on and nothing happens after this?
I think I resolved this when I flashed the bootblock with the new bios.

Who encountered the "129052 Kb useable memory detected, 0 Kb installed",
windows won't start with this condition, bootblock flash cured this!

Thanks to Thewiz for all the good works!

I have not encountered this problem. The only problem is the computer usually freezes (the computer comes out of sleep or hibernation but the screen and mouse is frozen). Sometime when you go to the error listing it shows memory corruption.

Thanks to sojo being such a great tester a new beta has been successfully installed While asus has jumped to 5001, I plan to continue on the version path that I started, so right now we are looking at 1901AM3BETA2.

I will not post the download link just yet, because there are still a couple things I am clarifying with sojo. Please take down the following notes though so that you are aware of what's new.

To flash the BIOS, we now MUST use a bootable usb and flash in awdflash. Tthis is critical because we discovered that if the bootblock isn't written to, then users will experience the 128mb memory detection issue. Here is the new flash command, and MAKE SURE that the name of the bin you download is simply renamed to bios.bin on your USB.

New command: awdflash bios.bin /py /sn /f /cc /wb /r

To read up on preparing a bootable usb, please use these instructions.

So yes, here is the new feature list that we added and what we still need to work on:

Fixes:


***Phenom X6 support has been added for 1055T and 1090T. (We need testers on this one, but the code for it is in and it flashed successfully)

*** AGESA has been updated from 3.3.2.7 to 3.7.0.0

*** CPU microcode added, from 28KB to 30KB.

Bug fixes aimed towards final version:

*** USB keyboard detection issues on restart and BIOS menu.
*** Random freeze issues.

Please reply wihh any other bug issues we still need to address. I will be posting screenshots and other information soon.

Thanks,
TheWiz

I assume that it also OK to install the bios from a bootable floppy disk?

[TheWiz]

So far sopo has been my tester and he has had no problems with it (see his post on guru3d) but you have to follow the flashing instructions i specified. Its fine if you use a floppy, but the command line has to use the same commands. Probably you shuld check in @ guru3d and wait to see how others like Greymon make out.

I have looked into implementing NVCC to the M2N series boards but
according to the spec it would not work, would be great though :p

[gohandb]

I just read on another forum a guy who has the same motherboard that I and even he managed to unlock the cpu phenom 555, I'll ask him what he did to such a feat

I'll post results if I get too lol!!
