Hmmmnn ... have you tried? I'm only asking because maybe it's the very next step in the boot that causes the shutdown ... or it could be a BIOS incompatibility itself (such as the FSB).
Even if you could get it on just long enough to set it to failsafe defaults and then save it ... and then see how it reacts.
One other thought ... do you have a different cpu that is compatible with this mobo? Perhaps you could install that, make the settings, then shut down and put the Core 2 Duo back in? If so, that might be worth a try ...

I red of a wierd issue like this beforre where someone baught a motherboard that aught to have supported dual core, but in reality it needed a bios flash to be able to do so. The irony is that the guy had to get a non-dual core cpu to perform this flash.
This might help but be VERY careful. If your computer switches off during the flash it will screw up the motherboard probably forever

i slowed down the FSB to 1066 and still no go. I called asus again and the dude told me the CPU is probably overheating and to apply new heat compound between the cpu and heatsink. ill try this and get back to you guys

Alright, at least we now know that the FSB is no longer an issue. I have my doubts about reapplying thermal compound ... when did this cpu ever have the time to heat up, never mind overheat? Nonetheless, I hope that helps.
