    Remove component

    For some days i'm desperate looking for a solution for my 'infamous Asus Chassis intruded' bug.

    I have 2 systems based on Rampage Formula mainbord. When i was in need for a quick jumper (flashing a SSD) i 'borrowed' the Chassis intrusion jumper, since then both system's wont boot anymore, after post i get "Chassis intruded ! Fatal Error... System Halted"
    Ofcourse i placed the jumpers back, even replaced the jumpers with new tested ones. I cant get rid of the message.

    It is a bug between the bios and a Winbond chip.

    Does somehave have a clue if it's possible to remove or disable the Chassis Intrusion option in the Bios ?

    By default, there is not a option to disable this check.

    To prevent the 'clear CMOS' answers. The chassis intrusion is NOT stored in the CMOS.
    I tested:
    -clear CMOS by pressing the clear-cmos button on the back (Asus RoG mainbords doenst have a clear CMOS jumper, it have a switch instead)
    -removed the battery, place a toothpick on the clear-cmos button, remove powercable and let it rest for 12hours
    -same procedure as above, without the toothpick
    -tried the 15/30/60sec's hold reset button 'tip'
    -flashed to release, beta and newest bios versions
    -Temperatures are all ok, checked fans, rpm etc.etc.

    So i've got 2 options left AFAIK.
    -RMA the mainbords.
    -Somehow find a bios hack, removing the Chassis intrusion checks

    RMA the mainbords is not an option for me, i modified the mainbords for watercooling, i cant build them back to stock cooling.

    Yes, i can use the systems, after a CMOS clear you get the option: F1 for setuo F2 for defaults and continue boot.
    Pressing F1 will result Chassis intruded after saving bios setup.
    F2 will result continue boot with default settings. without OC and RAID settings.

    I think you should contact asus support so they tell you what you can do... im sure there is way around this somehow...

    Yes, to RMA. But that is not an option for me. (silverglued waterblocks)

    I've also got the same board. I guess all we'll be able to update is the Phoenix Option ROM BIOS and the JMicron ROM, then (unless a newer 64kb Intel ROM appears for some reason). Plus there won't be any BIOS updates from abit anymore, so we're pretty much shafted there.

    What do the ROM updates do, anyway?

    No I haven't. I may try them though. You say 8.9 and 9.5 didn't work for you (or said some error?)?

    Have you tried 8.7/8.8? I'm only using 8.5 right now because it was 64kb, same size as the original ROM. I skimmed this thread and nobody said anything else about an IP35 Pro and anything newer than 8.5 ROM so I haven't tried anything newer.

    Check your PM box.

    If you are using Windows 7 make sure you remove any software based SLIC loaders before flashing this BIOS.

    sorry to be a pain in the bum, but do you mind via sending me that file, or putting it on one of these free uploader sites so anyone else can use what you have done too?

    thank you.
