Vista loses activation after s3 sleep on GA-P35-DS4 (1.1)

I've been following this thread for a while and I'm very excited that tommiy fixed the S3 problem. I am currently using an unmodded F9 bios for my GA-DS3R v1 and will try to apply tommiy's fix. I am assuming it can be applied to an unmodified Gigabyte bios?

Can anyone share their modified GA-DS3R rev1 firmware?
EDIT: I found the modified BIOS on this site. Thanks to Fzeven.

 

what else would you use? answer is thats whats best to use.

 

Thanks tommiy for figuring this out!

 

Working great here, many thanks!

i too have this same problem with my GA-P35C-ds3r Would you be good enough to make this bios available to me and perhaps everyone in the forum please?

Many Thanks

 

sorry for being so dumb, but do you "inject" the isa rom file to the already modded bios or the original gigabyte bios from their site?

 

always use original bios to mod. ....

 

thanks. if i keep the isa.bin file and use it with future bioses for my board - isn't it possible that i risk damaging my board using an old file to mod a new bios? Say if gigabyte mod their future bioses to make it more akward or impossible via the cbrom method. I don't yet have a full grasp of this modding -so can't work out if this isa.bin mod file will always be compatible with new bioses when used with cbrom by its very nature.

 

There is no guarantee that this method will work on future bioses.
Gigabyte can alter the Implementation of the isa module(s), with the result a not working isa module mod.
So it's a matter of adding the module and see if it still works.
The risk on a badflash is always higher with a modded bios.

 

thanks. will trying cause a failed bios update? or damage mb if not working isa module is inserted?

I'm still a bit confused about the whole process, i have read several posts but seem to have got a bit mixed up. You say i need to use the original unmodded bios from gigabyte - got that bit. The next bit gets me... you say i can extract the isa.bin file from this orignal bios file and use this together with cbrom to mod my bios? Where does the asus slic table (or other oem slic entry) come into this process? please clarify for me.

 

If you got a working modded bios with the isa method, then you can extract the isa module and insert it in a unmodded one.
The isa module is a little programm that is executed at cold/warm boot.
It injects the SLIC table and alter the OEM id & OEM id Table of the RSDT/XSDT table.
If something go's wrong it can hang at reboot, sometimes it helps to keep the "TAB" button pressed.
Then you can try a bios recovery, if that doesn't work you have to swap the bios chip with a working one.
Or try to hotflash the bad chip in a other mobo, otherwise the mobe needs a RMA.
In the best case the computer works normally but the mod doesn't work anymore.

 

right i have a new problem now after updating with modded GA-p35-dsr3 bios.
Using Vista x64 i now can't display any temps in everest in system tray. I can load temps in program window but these dont seem to be updated. i get a box saying "dectecting Sensor information..." seems to hang. any ideas or anyone else notice this?

Give speedfan a try, see what happens.

 

i have tried on a ds3 an everest works fine...course you have a different mobo....could be that that the isamod just doen't work with the board but i think someone else reported it did

 

harry015 has a rev:2.0 mobo that doesn't have problems with the temp reading.
Maby Everest don't like vista X64.

 

probably, i just installed xp x64 and it works ok.

what's weird is that the everest website says it supports vista x64

 

Works on Vista 64

Everest works on Vista 64 with a DS4. (shows temps, etc)

 

x64 with everest seems to be ok

 

Can you see the temps in the bios?
