Dead mainboard? Bios problem

[lotnybartek]

Here is my problem. Few days ago I bought my DFI Lan Party UT NF4 SLI - DR Expert. Yesterday while I was trying to update BIOS something went wrong. I mean, whole process went all right (I was using Award Bios Flash utility, also I downloaded the newest BIOS from DFI website. DOWNLOADED BIOS (FIRST ONE).

 

But after I rebooted my PC...

 

• monitor doesn't work (black screen)
  
• when I'm trying to do hard BIOS reset according to this POST CPU Fan stops work after a while.
   

  Remove power from the rig by pulling the plug or switching the PSU off.
   
  Move the PC Speaker jumper to the ON position.
   
  Remove the Battery.
   
  Move the CMOS jumper to CLEAR.
   
  Press the Start Button on the case or motherboard to drain the capacitors.
   
  You may leave the board in this condition for as long as it takes to clear the CMOS. If a short 30 second clear or a 15 minute clear doesn't work, try an 8 hour clear.
   
  Plug in a PS2 Keyboard.
   
  Put one stick of RAM in the top orange slot marked DIMM2.
   
  Move the CMOS jumper to Normal.
   
  Replace the Battery.
   
  Press and hold the Insert Key on the Keyboard.
   
  Apply power to the rig by plugging the power in or using the switch on the PSU.
   
  Press the Start Button to power the rig up.
   
  When you hear the BEEP, release the Insert Key and press the Delete Key on the Keyboard.
  Once you enter the BIOS set the DATE and TIME then Load Optimized Defaults. - I CAN'T GET IN TO BIOS.

 

What else...

On the mainboard there are Diagnostic LEDs. These LEDs indicate the current condition of the system. Motherboard detect only VGA Card.

 

AFTER A WHILE CPU FAN TURN OFF.

What we should do? Help us.

 

Thanx in advance.

If the CPU fan stops working after a while, it's most likely throttling the fan because it's not needed. As for the monitor not coming on, well, post bump.

Hi

 

I had the same problem with my Expert board.

 

Eventually after trying the "CMOS clear" and "Safe boot" (neither worked), I removed the BIOS battery, disconnected the power cable AND did a "CMOS clear" (via the red jumper). I left it for a minute, put the battery back, set the CMOS jumper back to default and plugged the power back in and VIOLA it booted up fine.

 

However whenever I try to overclock and it goes too far, I have to the same thing to reset the BIOS. I never had to do that with my DFI Ultra-D.

 

Let me know if that solves it for you.

Thats a good way to destroy your cpu if i am not mistaken.
