Soundstorm Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Hi, I bought a SLI-DR in June this year. It still didn't run because I didn't have a CPU yet so I kept waiting for it to arrive. A week ago I cancelled the order and bought an X2 3800+ wich arrived this week. Now when I plug everything in like I always do, I even checked the guide on this forum, it powers up, and gives 3 red leds. Browsing the manual on the CD (it's not in the book ) I found out thats a problem with the CPU. I think this has to do with the BIOS (wich is still the first one I think). So, How can I flash the new BIOS on it? I'm not scared of hotflashing, but can you do that on every other motherboard? I only did it on identical ones and I don't know anybody who has an SLI-DR I could use to flash. Thanks in advance Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 list your power supply and your bios version as per the rules please (if you cannot get the board to boot, then just put 3/10 as your bios version) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

applejacks Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 There was another guy in here where his would stick on 3leds as well. It turned out it was his video card he had to eventually put it in the 2nd pcie slot for it to work. perhaps give that a try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenC Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Make sure you have connected all 4 power connections to the motherboard See link in my signature. Have you tried clearing CMOS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Move your ram to dimm slot 2. Your sig has it in dimm slot 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundstorm Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Crap /me feels stupid... Just had to clear the cmos. Still it took a long time to get all the red leds out. THANKS!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Glad your are up and running. FYI...The first thing you need to do is flash bios to 623-3. This is the latest oficial bios. ver. You will need to flash to at least bios ver 510-X to support your CPU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundstorm Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Ok, That's exactly what I had to do. I changed some settings in the BIOS and it gave 3 leds again. Going to flash now, hopefully I didn't burn the floppy drive last time I used it.. Edit: Where can I find the BIOS? Do I have to chose NF4 SLI Infinity? Because that is 621 and 727 Edit again: Ok, found them in your sig! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
