Forceman Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 It sounds like it was the USB problem - he said it worked after he unplugged the USB ports. Strangely enough, I had this exact same problem last night when my joystick was half-unplugged from my USB hub. Took me a while to troubleshoot, but that was definately the problem - I'll add that to my bag of fixes for next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addiarmadar Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Alright Thanks a lot for all this advices. I'll give it a try today, I'm currently at job so won't be able to create now a descent sig with all the correct specs (don't know all of them by heart). Anyway, I'll start looking on recommended PSUs +1 , correct. Just asked my bro to plug off all usb devices, and POST was ok. On my way to buy a descent PSU, will see if it changes anything. Again, thanks a bunch for the tip Why is everyone bashing the usage of 20pin PSUs on this mobo? Im runnin a 20-pin PSU ( with adapter of course) and my rig is rock solid stable and can dish out some good OCing. All my rails are static which bonus in the 5v and 12v rails. Maybe if its a low-wat non-branded unit then I could see problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are hundreds who use 20pin PSU with adapter, but I'll bet there is thousands who can't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peni El Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Is anyone from DFI looking into this issue with the USB devices being connected causing the system to hang? I thought that's why we all came here. This forum is touted as the place to get definitive answers from the source and this is definitely a growing issue with a lot of users running into the same problem. On a side note, the external drive I'm using has it's own power supply plugged in to the AC so it's not drawing from the USB port and causing any kind of overvolt protection to kick in.

I've got 5 different NF4 Lanparty boards running, and they all boot just fine with a USB device plugged into them, whether they are USB keys (memory sticks), game pads, music players, hdd's, headphones, bluetooth keys, etc. I've tried 10 ways to sunday to make them hang, and they wont, they just come up with the message that boot order has changed if the usb device is a storage device. 5/10-2 bios, 6/23 official bios (and the -2 version also), 7/04-2BT bios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peni El Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Well, maybe those of us that do have the issue just got lemons. I was hoping someone had an easy fix so I didn't have to RMA the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 If you have any USB devices connected, disconnect them and try it again. Mine will post but hang at the same point yours is if I have the external HD connected to the USB port. I disconnect it and it and viola! it boots up fine. I can reconnect it after booting and use the drive no probs so I know it's not the drive itself. Still no word on this from DFI guys, but it seems a few peeps here are having this issue with various USB devices. May not be the problem in your case, but it was worth a shot I don't see an internal HD in your sig John. Which one are you using and if it's larger than 200GB, how many partitions have you created and how big is the Primary? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer0X Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 I am having th same problem right now. I should have just left the thing alone... I was thinking of putting this under phase but I may have to reconsider now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aehmkei Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Same here: Reinstalled windows, first boot, Win Splash Screen, system reboots itself Tried bios 6.23-3 and 7.04-3 Using two raptors as raid 0, tried nforce drivers 6.66 and 6.53 (win installation - when asked to press f6) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer0X Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Ok now this is just weird. I grabed some USB to PS/2 converters and put them on both my keyboard and mouse and hooked them back up. I then turned my system back on and during the splash screen I pressed the delete key and the next screen is black with a blinking cursor. What the heck is going on?? Do I need to RMA my motherboard? EDIT::ok this is even weirder. I keep getting a message telling me to reset my CPU frequency...I have that on auto...someone care to explain?
