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, cant find
system BIOS hook. ANY HELP?????

It sounds like you have a bad motherboard. Time for an RMA.

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.

Brief google search finds:

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,

Thanks, I have downloaded memtest86+ and will be running it tonight.
And yes the file unziped was 512kb on the nose also a suggestion was
made on another site that I step up the bios version by version from
the one I have (v1009) to the latest non beta one (v1012) I.E. flash
v1010 then 1011 then 1012. Dose that make any sense? As well I had
already tried moving the one 512-mem stick I have to the other
available slots. I have also already pulled everything I dont
absolutely need (cd burner, zip drive, extra fan) to reduce the draw
on my power supply.
