EmeraldViper Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I have: Sempron 2400 DFI Infinity Ultra II DDR 3200 400 (1Gig) 2 Sata 120 g GeForce FX 5900se I went to switch in the dual 3200's from Dual 2700's and computer started wigging out. Now I get no Green Power led when I start system, everything powers up, Hd's CD's but Never makes it to boot, Monitor stays blank,. I have switched Ram in and Out, Video, unconnected everything but Floppy and one HD, still not green power led on front. I get the Red power led (on Motherboard) and red Ram led near DDR ram. the HD light also comed on but no power led on case? Could it be MoBo or CPU? I really do not feel like buying an new CPU to see, since if it is not CPU I am stuck with another CPU, same if I buy another MoBo. Please, any help would be appreciated.

Mott13 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Looks as tho you borked your bios:( when adding/changing hardware Allways go in to bios and load optimized dfaults before changing hdwr... you could try clearing the cmos for a long period. Plz read the new fourm rules and make a sig... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Yup, you've corrupted your bios. No Power LED on your case is a classic sign from my experience(and one i've never seen pointed out by other ppl suprisingly). I tested a corrupt bios in my system just to check out the symptoms and that was one that immediately stood out to me... It also happened when i tried to boot off my Bios Saviour when it had no Bios stored on it You'll have to either get your Bios Chip flashed for free by Angry, attempt to hotflash it in another compatible board or buy a new preflashed bios chip off Tmod. You should always clear your cmos when adding/swapping out hardware, especially ram. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Code Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 You can also try www.badflash.com. Fast and they deliver outside the US. All ways pays to have 2 bios chips with these boards. Good Luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmeraldViper Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Man, you think yehy would point that out some where, since most people actually BUYING the retail MoBo are usually upgrading alot. I have built about 10 systems and upgrades on several and never knew about this, Gues I am pretty stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Yeah, sadly its a quirk of the nForce2's, not just the DFI's. A guy in another forum has just done exactly the same thing on his ABIT NF7-S. Got some new ram, stuck it in without clearing CMOS and corrupted his bios. Annoying aint it I have spare bios chips and also use a Bios Saviour myself, so i'm pretty much covered in case anything goes wrong.
