I just started building my own computer using the Asus k8v-x but it
hangs during the install of XP. Then when I reset I get an
Overclocking Failed error. Asus recommended a bios
update on the bord using their aflash.exe program so I tried but when
I go to do it I get an error that reads ERROR, can t find
system BIOS hook. ANY HELP?????

Could be inadequate power supply: got same message when trying to
install XP on a P5WD2 with a power supply that couldn't handle the load.

My boss's machine suddenly started reporting 'overclocking failed' if
DIMM slots 1 or 2 were used. 3 and 4 work fine, and the sticks appear
fine. Fun stuff. Also concurrently had a HDD in a Raid fail, and the
raid is taking a lonnnng time to rebuild. Fun stuff.

Moral of the story: try moving around memory, especially if its an Asus
A8VDeluxe motherboard.

From another site: someone using 350W PSUfor a P5WD2, mine didn't boot
with a 430W, same brand:

Looked on Asus support site thinking I had seen information on it there,
but could not find it.

Good luck,
