butter_fry Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 So, I haven't been able to make any progress with this board whatsoever. Here's my previous post from the other big CF-DR thread. "So here's my problem. Im lucky if it posts at all after saving a bios setting. The only way It will boot is to save the setting, wait 5 seconds, manually power off the machine, and then power it on. The settings do save, but the performance is absolutly terrible. There seems to be a wall about 225mhz HTT. That sounds like its not properly locking the pci, but i know that to be untrue via cpu-z. The only component I haven't switched is the PSU, which i suspect to be the problem. I didn't have another one available with me to test this unfortunatly. This ModStream is a 4 pinner, not 8. Although i was under the impression this isn't a necessity, I'd like to know your guys' thoughts on this. I'm quite methodical in my setups, so i really don't think its something i'm doing, but you never know. I'll update as i try a new PSU which i'll have to go buy as all the ones i've got access to are 4 pins. Rather unfortunate that i'm brought to that just to get this board working. But i'll save the disapointment in lieu of constructive problem solving at this point." I've now tried 3 different power supplys, two of them 8pin. This board will NOT boot if i try to save settings in the bios. stock or otherwise, even right after clearing the cmos and just saving after first boot. I really wanted the problem to be power supply related, but i just can't see that it is. Any ideas, or do i need to return it to newegg/rma it? -butter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaqt Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I've noticed that my board occasionaly hangs after a BIOS change. But last few times It's shut down, reset and rebooted without incident. Is this happeneing no matter what RAM and what slots your in? I had issues with my BH-5 in Slots 1/3. Once I moved them over to 2/4 the system became much more stable.

butter_fry Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 yeah, ive tried both ways. 1-3/2-4 Its without fail that it will not reboot. no matter what. Its really frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Problems I had HERE Once I was up it was still not solid until I changed LDT to 3X...You might try changing only that upon first reboot after optimized defaults then go back in and see if you can make changes with any luck... :confused: Something to try As for mine she's all boxed up and waiting for UPS to take her back to NewEgg with another on order...

butter_fry Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Oldguy, yeah i read your post, very thorough and it quite mirrors my experience. But yes, unfortunatly i HAVE tried the 3x LDT, it didn't make any difference. Its very frustrating to see a computer boot, but knowing its got issues and not being able to put your finger on it.

OldGuy Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 If the system speaker wasn't dead on mine I'd still be messin' with it...Hopefully that was an indicator that the board just wasn't assembled proper and the new one won't display similar and very frustrating characteristics... I hope I hope. And I hope you get yours figured out...and soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
butter_fry Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Speaker seems operational on mine. but then again, i don't ever remember hearing it. I'll check when i get home. My case doesn't have a speaker, but i assume you're referring to the onboard buzzer thingy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 you guys need to fix up your sigs...you need to show board model + bios version, your power supply model, as well as which exact memory you are using ('a pile o' RAM depending on my mood' is not good enough) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that the manual doesn't list 2/4 as a valid combination for either dc or sc operation. I'm having huge problem running my ram to spec so I may have to try the 2/4 approach.
