Sharp Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Hello, Make sure that all 4 power connectors are plugged into the board. # 24pin ATX connecotr # 4pin +12v P4 connector near the ATX slots # Floppy power connector upder the CPU soclet # Hard drive power connector on top the chipset cooler Your memory timings? 2.5-2-2-4. What are the manufacturers rated timings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you don't mind possibly voiding your warranty, one of the newer beta BIOSes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prisoner.88 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I had a similar issue with the 3/10 BIOS try a newer version. Sure I will do that Thank you You should get the latest official BIOS 6/23-3. Or if you don't mind possibly voiding your warranty, one of the newer beta BIOSes. I prefer to try the Offical Bios Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

h0db Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Glad to hear you fixed it. It seems like almost every thread regarding memory and stability comes down to the same things: -- Check that all 4 power supply connections, including the floppy power cable, are plugged into the motherboard (see the sticky) -- Compare your power supply against the approved list-- see another sticky. You must have a native 24-pin main 12V plug, not a 20-pin plug, not a 20-to-24 adapter. You should have a minimum of 480W. -- Flash the latest official bios or the (warranty-voiding beta), preferably using tmod's disk, not a floppy (and read the sticky on bios flashing and follow it to the letter). This is especially true for memory problems. -- If the board won't boot, clear CMOS, sometimes for hours (depends). -- Don't troubleshoot basic system stability problems while overclocked/tweaked! If your system is stable @ stock settings and you're trying to get a working overclock, you should post in the OC forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
