Dynomutt Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Have you tried booting to memtest? set it to enabled in the Genie BIOS section. you could try upping voltage on your CPU and RAM this problem usually occurs when the CPU/RAM needs more voltage during OCing try with one stick of Memory if all fails follow below instructionn strip down to bear minimum (CPU, 1 stick of RAM, GFX, 1HDD and power do a full CMOS reset, pull power cord and press power button a few times move CMOS jumper to clear and remove battery leave for at least 1/2 hour replace battery and put CMOS jumper to proper position plug in and power on EDIT: still nothing, reflash to a different Bios version. hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynomutt Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 thats fine, set it to enabled anyway as it monitors your Hard disk and warns of impending failiar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Check the DIAG LEDs when you get that error. See here... http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...705&postcount=4 S.M.A.R.T. Contrary to the urban myth, enabling SMART does not affect hard drive performance. SMART data is only provided when the drive circuitry is queried. Normally this occurs when the system runs the POST sequence. If an error has been detected, the POST will stop and allow you to acknowledge the message. Otherwise you can use any tool that can query the SMART data to view the current status. My personal favorite is EVEREST by Lavalys.
