BartBMan Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 During startup, this error is displayed: WARNING! System is now in safe mode...Please resetting CPU frequency in CMOS setup. See sig below. I have sent the board back to DFI and had it tested. The board was sent back to me. Same problem once again. They can not help. Is this a CPU issue or memory issue. Please advise. I have been without a system for 2 weeks. Thanks, BartBMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been without a system for 2 weeks. Thanks, BartBMan I was unable to get my HyperX to work in my board (others have had no problem). (search forum for hyperx or kingston). 1. Try some other memory sticks you have laying around, or 2. Get an RMA from Kingston asking for specific chips (see memory postings), and see if they will cooperate.

kukulcan Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I had this problem when one of my sticks of memory died. Have you tried running with a single stick of memory installed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazzhopper Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 PLease post what bios you are using Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartBMan Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I am using 6-23-05 BIOS. Kingston memory is ok in other system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boppo Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I am using 6-23-05 BIOS. Kingston memory is ok in other system. Just because something works in another system does not mean it will work in this one. People are trying to help you by sharing experiences others have had. If you read a lot on this forum you would see over and over people saying just that about some component or other and that component does not work with the DFI board, especially memory and secondly PSUs.

And that being said, you might have the HyperX that just don't work in the DFI board. So, see post #2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartBMan Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Both Boppo and faheyd are right. I realize that all memory and all systems are not compatible just because the mem speeds are the same. With that in mind, I have another system going together this weekend that will work with the HyperX. I have ordered OCZ 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 500 (PC 4000) unbuffered dual channel memory - model #OCZ5001024ELDCGEVX-K to go in my DFI system. Maybe we have the culprit.

Angry_Games Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 you always have the option of sending me the board, cpu, and memory, and letting me take a look at it. sending the board to DFI is ok, but I require that you send the motherboard, cpu, and memory together as they are yours, and will be used together. I can get any NF4 board to boot with my 23 different kits of memory and 9 different 939 cpu's and 6 high quality power supplies....as can the office tech...problem is, they boot for us with OUR hardware, and get sent back to you and you put YOUR memory and cpu back in and blammo, same problem again. Try the new memory you ordered, but if you run into a brick wall, just email me (link in my sig) and I will take a look at the board/cpu/memory for you.

rldolph79 Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Maybe we have the culprit. If you don't, I'd certainly take Angry up on his offer...if there's one person that'll be able to diagnose your problem it's him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartBMan Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Angry, Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that offer. I have a new AMD 64 3700+ San Diego CPU on order as well as the OCZ PC4000 mem. Between the two, I should be able to solve my problem. However, I will certainly email you with results one way or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the OCZ Elite Platinum set(next one above yours) to replace my pathetic ballistix memory and couldn't be happier with it :shake: So at least the memory should work in your system just fine.
