[email protected] Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Hello Well I was recomended here by a friend. I just upgraded my entire system I had a smooth running gigabyte board and geil ram, same CPU.. I upgraded to a DFi Board.. I cannot Get any opertaing System to load.. This is driving me so insane its not even funny.. The system Boots up fine, i can go into the bios.. I just cannot load Windows 2000 windows XP or System Commander which I use to partition my disks. I can get into the windows setup it gives me an error of File i386ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded The error code is 4 Setup cannot continue Pless any key to exit. The system commander window just sits there. I let it sit for 1 hour and nada. the board works fine. I had an OS on it for 2 weeks before it crashed on me. Is their something Im missing here ? I don't know. As far as Raid I can set that up but I cannot boot to it for some reason. Also, the system has 3 Red led's that are on the bottom right side of the board. They disappear after about 5 seconds after I hit power. Are these some kind of error light ? Im thinking I've missed some step. I just discovered 20 minutes ago that for System stabilty reasons I have to connect a 4 pin molex to the motherbaord in addition to all the other power connectors. Im a noob with this Dfi stuff, hopefully someone here can help before I rip the rEmainder of my hair out. I've been without a pc for 2 weeks, and Im beyond addicted to americas army and battlefield 2....... Thanks allot Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timmay Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 When I was trying to install windows on my system (last night ) I found that you have to set via the pins on the hard drive a master, the board wouldnt pick it up... That was diffrent form my old one. Also if there is an error loading a file from the I386 folder then your cd may be damaged so the file can not be read. Have you tried another disk.

[email protected] Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 where are these pin's located.. The manual that came with this board sucks... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timmay Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 The pins are on the back of the hard drive right next to the Molex power connector. there should be a pin guide printed on the hard drive its self. You may have to take the drive out of the bay for this. But just to expand on why i had to do is from my previouse post - I had to set a master because i would get in to that blue screen with the grey bar when installing windows and it would load all the componets down the bottem but when the grey bar said "Now starting windows" or close to that, it would just sit there and reboot.

[email protected] Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Hi I have hitachi SATA Disks. no pins on those... I've been building computers for 8 years now.. I've never hit any problems this bad before. My win2k disk works. I just used it on another computer. I just loaded my System commander disk again, It came up with an error message that says Divide by zero... Im starting to think i have a boot sector virus. Im looking into a low level format at the moment.. Thanks Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timmay Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 If your using sata disk - dont take any offence - you are putting in the Floppy disk that comes with your mobo pack that installs the raid drives ect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaollaSu Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 F****KING hehe, It was my memory voltage.. 2.6V was wrwong needed to b e 2.8V and in orange slots. DFi Support helped me out in 3 minutes. I'm thinking it was most likely the not having the memory in the correct slots rather than the voltage being low. I'm running at 2.6 and everything is perfect. I'm wondering if your original setup would pass memtest or not. Did you run memtest? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
