caebron Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Windows Service Pack 2 installed? Display driver installed? Don't forget the Windows updates. Install all drivers (especially vidcard) before running 3D Mark. Dunno what's up with your floppy issue. Not to be condescending but make sure all the necessary floppy cables are actually plugged in. It happened to me just 2 weeks ago - I had pulled the power out from the floppy by accident without noticing. If they are plugged in, check if the floppy is enabled in the BIOS. I actually can't remember what it says in the BIOS (I'm at work atm), so you're on your own on this one. If it still doesn't work check the Device Manager (Control Panel -> System icon -> Hardware Tab -> Device Manager). Check 'Floppy Disk Drives' and/or 'Floppy disk controllers'. Run the troubleshooter/update the driver. Other than that, May the Google and this forums search function be with you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 To previous post from Ldog69, no i know that th cable upside down can do that dude , i have done that on purpose just to check power is getting to it, but when set in the right formation it doesnt work wierd eh, and i cant run troubleshooter as it isnt showing up at all.

caebron Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 First clear CMOS, there's several different methods recommended in this forum. Which settings did you use to set up your RAM? The ones I posted earlier or Rgone's? If you used mine and they don't work for you, then give Rgone's a try (one of the threads I left you earlier). Actually why don't you go ahead and post all of your Genie BIOS settings. I know it's some work but maybe we can figure out what's going on this way - although I'm no expert by any means. I consider myself more lucky than knowledgeable to have gotten up and running with this board. And of course having read all the guides helped a lot.

The Joker Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 yeah will get on that tomorrow , all night i have spent with this dam board and it just throws up new things all the time, the floppy drive means probably that the MOBO itself is faulty and mayb has been the whole time. it was having issues even before this new issue saying Data error everytime i opened up a new program to install. RMA ing may solve this but i dont thin i can go through the heap of head aches with this board again. its either the board or hard drive . Both brand new this christmas. Thanks Caebron will post pics of settings tomorrow dude. Sorry to be so negative but you know how it gets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 mmm, after a nghts sleep and a CMOS clear my rig appears to have found my floppy drive. reset to optimized defaults and i am reinstalling windows 'again'. I also took everything apart and the plugged everything back in. It has to be either ram settings or my Maxtor drive. saying that it could be anything. See this system isnt intended to be OC'd , or at least not now anyway. So Caebron my DFI friend what settings can i wack in that will make this system work normally. If there is a normal , i am very happy as my Floppy works again now , i was scared about RMA ing myt board as i would be without.

KaollaSu Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 This thread reminds me when I was a neophyte computer enthusiast about 17 years ago. I was taking apart my Amiga 2000 for the first time ever to install 4MB of Ram and a 20MB Hard Drive and had no clue what I was really doing and certainly no Internet forums to consult if I messed things up. Those were the days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
