CJ4 Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 The bioses from 615 are supposed to help with the cold boot issues. The shutdown problem is probably a problem with your Windows. You might want to try and reinstall it. CJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
guffnuts Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Just my $0.02, but ive had no problems since i flashed to the 6/18-2 BIOS. Works everytime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 618 didn't help my general boot problem, but my memory sticks may have been damaged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzSnoal Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 You should try it. It is the only way you will know. I have seen all the possibilities, in various post regarding 618 bios and the cold boot fix: - yes, it fixes it! - no, it doesn't! - and it fixed it, until now... Bottom line, try it yourself and see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 For you shutdown problem, download UPHClean from Microsoft, link here The problem is caused by the system not releasing memory when you log off. As to the cold boot problem, as others have mentioned, v615 should fix your problem, direct download link here Make sure there's a blank floppy in the drive when you run the exe. It creates a bootable floppy automatically. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinjimy Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 618 worked for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsiew Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 615 and 618 series worked for me. But now, cold boot happened to me again. Maybe one of my RAM is faulty. Will RMA tomorrow and see how it goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsiew Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Currently using 615 Bios. Still having cold boot. My interesting findings and procedures t cure cold boot partially. 2 sticks of TwinMos SP UTT 256mb X 2 a.)When I install two sticks of my RAM into orange slot in dual channel mode. Long beep----- B) When I install two sticks of my RAM into yellow slot in dual channel mode. Long beep...... c) When I install one stick in yellow slot and one in orange slot. Long beep....... d) When I install one stick in yellow slot and one stick in yellow slot, too after installing in the orange slot previously. My comp managed to boot up in overclocking status. But when I unplug the core and replug it back. Long beep....... Thus, I have to keep to the procedures above when doing oc and do not unplug my power core. Guess I have to live with cold boot.

OzSnoal Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Guess I have to live with cold boot. Your choice - I wouldn't. How sure are you that you can trust it in the long term? Or the next time you turn on your PC that it'll boot? The pain, suffering and the insecurity of every time you turn on your machine is just not worth it.

longsiew Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 I did not RMA my RAM because yesterday, that 'faulty' RAM can worked flawlessly. Now I am in dilemma whether I should RMA my RAM or mobo. Cold boot keeps on....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
