WTF, Why wont this boot

[gold3nman]

I just got a LP UT EXPERT yesterday took it out of box and replaced my working fine, LP UT Ultra-D. I took out my working Mushkin REDLINE from the ultra-d and put it in the expert. Took out the A64 3500+ of the ultra-d and moved it to the expert. Plugged in the 24 pin and 8 pin power connectors. And pushed the power button. The screen comes on and halts at the Splash sceen. The numlock can be turned on and off but if I hold down the del key it fills the buffer and the speaker starts to beep. I can do a ctrl-alt-del to reboot but it stays at the same screen. I am only using 1 stick of ram at the moment since it doesnt even get this far using both. I tryed both slot 1 and 2 for the ram. It just beeps if I use just 3 or 4. I did a cmos clear...same result. removed the battery same result... I was able to get into the bios once out of the 30 times I tried. I set my dram voltage to the 3.33 for my redline, did a save and rebooted, then it went to the spash screen and has never gone further than that. Any ideas. I am working on the 24hrs cmos clear right now. And will test it went i get home. But i need more ideas. One thing that i did notice that i thought was weird was when the power light would turn on it would flash a little bit then go solid. Never saw that before any one know what this is? Please Help, Thanks.

 

P.S. I did try two other sticks of ram that i have, same result.

Doesnt the board have 4 power connectors? Also, isnt there diagnostic LED's on the board?

Hello,

 

Nope the Expert has 3

 

Goldy, make sure you plug the floppy power connector near the first PCIe slot.

Also what was the other memory that you used?

 

CPU Vcore voltage, what were you using on the Ultra-D?

I do not have the floppy connector hooked up since it said to only use that for sli, i will plug that in when i get home.

 

The other ram that I tried was some old OCZ PC2700 Rev. 3.2, I know its not 3200 but atleast it sould try to boot with it in....I think.

 

The Vcore I was using on the ultra-d was 1.62-1.63 somewhere around there since I was running it at 2.871ghz (316*9). Since I am at stock speeds(2.2ghz) I think that the stock 1.4 should be ok untill I can get into the bios to up it.

Yeah try increasing the voltage too, Overclocking the CPU can causing it to stop working with lower voltages/ default spec.

Welp, i thinking since i cant get into the bios to do that, how can i raise the voltage. Basically cant. So.... DAMNIT.

for some reason i dont think its the cpu....but try and boot with the defualt setting in the ultra-d if it doesnt work theres your problem!

good luck

I fixed it, i fixed it. Its the fu@kin' SPD settings. Since my redline doesnt work at stock bios voltages i.e. 2.6 it wouldnt boot. I had to put a stick of my old pc2700 in to boot to bios and then move the dram volts up to 3.22 then shut it off and put in my redline and now BOOOM, up and running 2-2-2-7 1t @250 3.22v. thats what i have so far
