[HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

There is another transistor around the one you removed for the chassis intruded error, that makes it do that. That can be jumpered too, but first things first:

1. Clean up the area of the Winbond chip very well with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush.
2. Remove battery, clear CMOS, replace with new battery.

Hi again. Thanks for the help @Th3_uN1Qu3 , I really appreciate your effort.
When I fixed the Chassis Intruded error. Now I am getting another message that is:

"new cpu installed please enter setup to configure your system"

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

hi, my board is P5Q SE2. Using the beep of DMM I found that DMM gave a beep when with the transistor next to the transistor you said to remove.
Please help!11

One probe goes to that pin you found with the voltage on it, and with the other probe measure on the little 3-pin transistors around the Winbond chip. You should find one that beeps on the single pin at the top, which would be the collector or drain.

Correction - the drains are going to be wired to the pins of the Winbond chip. You should check continuity from the chassis intrusion pin to the gate, which is the first pin on the left, on the side where there are two pins.

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

Ok that's a good pic. With the board powered ON, measure voltage at the CHASSIS jumper. Find the pin that has somewhere between 1 volt and 3.3v. Could be anything in that range.

Once you found it, turn all power OFF and unplug the power supply, and set your multimeter to beeper. One probe goes to that pin you found with the voltage on it, and with the other probe measure on the little 3-pin transistors around the Winbond chip. You should find one that beeps on the single pin at the top, which would be the collector or drain.

Return with these results and i will try to help you further.

Please post clear pictures of the mainboard and a close-up of the Winbond chip area.

Please help me with my PK5 DELUXE mother board that surely need that "remove transitor fix" cant know for sure wich one is it and i don't wanna mess something up.

Thanks

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

Have an easier workaround, following are the steps :

<1> Remove the front USB and audio connectors from MB
<2> Remove the reset switch connector
<3> Reset BIOS using the Jumper / removing CMOS
<4> Reset BIOS Settings and reboot your PC and things should be Up and running.

Let me know if this works for you too.

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

try replacing the jumper that bypasses the chassis switch

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

I have seen this error on a P6T Deluxe V2 socket 1366 motherboard, is it likely the same solution ?
Also, it appears that cleaning the board well could resolve this as well, is that correct ?

As old as this thread is, its the first solution I've seen, in a LOT of looking, that seems to delineate the exact CAUSE of the fault. Very, very useful information.

Thanks very much to the OP, btw !

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

There are 4 transistors surrounding the intrusion connector but none are marked sot-23.

SOT-23 is just the package specification (look up SOT-23 on Google images and you will see what I mean). The actual marking on the transistor will vary, depending on what it is.

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

I know this is an old thread but I have a P5E3 with same problem. My chassis intrusion connector is by the front panel header and the board power LED and the super I/O controller is in the top corner like the P5KE shown but no transistors are near it. Can anyone help me identify the correct sot-23 on my board? I certainly would appreciate it. There are 4 transistors surrounding the intrusion connector but none are marked sot-23.

can u plz help me my motherboard is P5k-VM
and i also get the same problem (chassis intruded fatal error system halted)
dont know how to fix that :/

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

Good job! Another board saved from the landfill.

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

So, there we go... Thanks for the help Th3_uN1Qu3! Found a new 3.3v point, cleaned the board and reset the CMOS. Everything is working now.

In the attachment is my final solution for the Asus P5E Deluxe

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

Yes, the fans remain spinning. I'll clear the CMOS again and I'll clean the board.

[Th3_uN1Qu3]

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

Shouldn't happen. What happens when you try to turn the computer off? Do the fans remain spinning?

Try to clear CMOS again and also clean that area on the board well using isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush.

Re: [HOWTO] Fix/Repair "Chassis Intruded Fatal Error System Halted" on Asus P5QL

I found a new spot, but it seems that I can't get my computer to wake up anymore if it goes to sleep, and also it doesn't want to turn off anymore. Could this have something to do with it? Should I just find an alternate point again?
