http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=332&model=1312&modelmenu=1
The most important feature of this motherboard is ASUS CRASHFREE BIOS 3
Processor is Intel core2duo e4300 1.8ghz (200*9=1800mhz)
RAM is dynet 1*2 GB DDR2 333mhz
Harddisk Seagate 160GB SATA
SONY DRU 835A DVD WRITER
The original BIOS version on my motherboard is 0613
I went to support.asus.com -downloads-BIOS
Here is found BIOS versions 1004(beta),1004(beta),0901,0804,0706
I first upgraded to 0706 using ASUS EZ FLASH 2.Everything went smoothly.
A few problems arose regarding the logo which was now being displayed twice.
NO probs.I upgraded to bios version 0804.All minor hiccups and problems were ironed out.
Then i upgraded to 0901.Still no problems.
Then I risked upgrading to beta version 1001.Still no problems with my computer.
Now i got carried away and upgraded to 1004 beta version without reading the warning.
This update was meant only people who had intel extreme processor.This update is to unlock the ratio multiplier for the processor.
Immediately after updating the bios my computer failed to restart.
I powered it off and switched on after 2 mins.
Before the Asus logo loaded I got an error message.
Then I got an error message OverClocking Failed.
Most unfortunately this update spoiled my motherboard.
My processors multiplier got locked 6 even though the bios showed the multiplier to be 9.
I confirmed this with cpu-z which showed my processor's speed as 1200mhz(200*6)
After this I experienced many minor problems while using windows xp and booting from bart pe cds.I got random BSODs.Even reinstalling xp did not help.
So I mailed ASUS support and they recommended me to downgrade the bios or give the motherboard back to the dealer for RMA service.
I downgraded my bios back to 0613 using EZ FLASH 2.Still the problem persisted.
I tried downgrading to the other bios versions as well ,still the problem was not solved.My processor was still running at 1200mhz(200*6)
Now each and every time i updated my bios to a different bios version i got error message on restarting.
I got this error message even when i tried resetting the cmos by opening the cabinet and removing the battery and shorting the jumpers and putting back everything correctly.
Then I found some very old BIOS version at the asus site
they are 207,304,404,507
I tried downgrading my bios to these old versions using ASUS EZ FLASH 2 and afudos.But it
was not possible.I got a message saying that the bios was too old.
So I found this
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx..el=P5K+Premium/WiFi-AP&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
I downloaded the afudos engineering edition and downgraded my bios to version 0207.
I did not follow the instructions carefully.
I made a mistake.
Instead of giving the command as
I gave it as
After that i restared my computer and my computer failed to boot.I assumed that the bios update had failed.
So I read the motherboard manual and found that ASUS CRASHFREE BIOS should kick in at failed bios updates.So i inserted the motherboard cd(by the ejection pin to pull out the tray as the dvd drive did not open on pressing the eject button) and waited for the crash free bios read the original bios file from the motherboard and restore and my BIOS.
MOST UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT WORK AND NOW I CANNOT USE MY COMPUTER.IT SIMPLY DOES NOT BOOT.THE POWER LIGHT JUST KEEPS FLASHING ON AND OFF.
Then I opened the case and removed the battery and shorted the correct jumpers to reset CMOS ,waited for 1 min,put everything back.IT DID NOT HELP.
Now I have a few questions.
Is my motherboard dead?
Can it be repaired or should it be replaced?
Since processor was running at a speed lower than the rated speed is it spoilt?
Does a bad bios update spoil other hardware components as well?
How do I know which other components are spoilt?
PLEASE POST your views on this.

About a month ago, after installing a modded bios, i wanted to go back and forth between my original and the modded one made here (Which worked perfectly BTW). Though upon reverting i always encountered 'Can't Analyze the IIM Information' , the internet provides no fixes for this, and acer wanted to replace my mobo, which was too much of a hassle for me even though it was free. Today i present a way in which you can all flash your bios which gets this error, and many other errors. There is 1 warning though, this will flash all bios files, regardless of mismatches and such, so you must be 100% sure you are flashing a compatible bios because you will not be told if it isnt, it will just flash.
This is what you do. Download the Engineers version of AFUDOS attached here. Format a DOS-USB. Then place the AFUDOS.EXE file into your formated USB along with your ROM file.
Restart and enter the DOS environment then enter these commands.
AFUDOS /iXXXX.ROM /pbnc /n
where xxxx= Rom Name, remember must include the 'i'
You have now successfully flashed a bios, that either has issues matching information, issues analyzing current versions, you want to downgrade and many other issues.
Cheers

Well I would like to give back to the community I've learned so much from over the years.
I replaced the bios that came with it with the retail one for the actual motherboard so I could overclock no easy task for me!
I recently bought a ASUS ESSENTIO CM5570 AP-006 for only $350 at best buy it was a refurb. (they sent me the wrong model first 2 lol but i finally got the right one)
And of course there are no overclocking options in the bios.
So I did some research and found the motherboard is the P5QL-VM-EPU
So steps to do this are:
Step 1: Download the newest bio for the motherboard here in the downloads section I believe it's 0601
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=wlBGtZNOPfeanWHH&templete=2
Step 2: You need to make a USB dos bootable disk here is an easy guide with picture I can't find the one I used
http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
Step 3: Get afudos engineering edition the regular one will not work. I found it here from another user on here
http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/19/174415/AFUDOS229ES.zip
Step 4: on your now bootable usb disk you need to put afudos and the bio rom file on it and rename the rom file so it is less than 8 letters long since most dos versions can't read over 8 letter words. example P5QLVM.ROM
Step 5: reboot and go into your bios setting and under boot devices go to hard disks and change it from your hard disk being first to the USB drive first. (took me awhile to find the right place it's NOT under boot order removable devices)
Step 6: when your reboot it should launch into dos and type this to run the afudos and to ignore all the bios checks.
afudos /iP5QLVM.ROM /pbnc /n
That's it now you have the proper retail bios for this machine! good luck also this mobo has a way to restore the bios if it gets corrupted i'm not sure on how to do it but back up your original bios first. It took me about 4 hours to figure all this out so hopefully it will save you guys some time.
