red930 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Never heard of that RAM. You might want to try booting with something that is known to work with the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadaway0000 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 it could be the ram i guess but oh yeah tried a single 256 value ram i had lying around, no go. With 4 led's lit do you really think it's the ram? Board or CPU in my opinion. I'm new to DFI and OPTY's but have built and overclocked before. Funny thing the only reason I'm building new is my 2.6p4 system took a dump on me a few weeks back. Same thing with it no post, either board or CPU there just haven't got anything to check them with. I just figured I'd buy a little 40$ dollar board to test later when I make a MAME box. I am totally at an end, I know these boards a finniky but come on. ps thx for the suggestion Exrodie I may go to my fathers hous and steal and borrow some spares he has..... any other suggestions would be appreciated. And RMA info as well from any who know.....if that's what it comes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fadaway0000 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 4 led means power searching for CPU right? 3 means found CPU 4 could be either MOBO or CPU from what I've gathered. MOBO/CPU/ZALMAN/EVGA= NEW MONARCH/ZOOM/EGG Yes outside the case bare minimum build. Ram in orange single and dual. Good in another board. Very good ram 2 years back. recomended in OC forums when Mushkin Black BH5 became scarce. as for ram ADATA from OC forum :In considering Hynix...don't overlook Komusa HyperRam offerings. Lots of guys were getting good results with their Adata branded Hynix but once Samsung TCCD hit the scene the Komusa stuff sorta got forgotten and overlooked. http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=3...hlight=hyperram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadaway0000 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 anyone else got any suggestions? Angry or anyone have some RMA info since I can't find it on the DFI site? :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Right now, I don't think you have enough "known" good hardware to even start trouble shooting. I'd hate to see you start RMAing before you test other components. Is there a local shop you can bring the parts too for some swapping around? Before you go any further try this with a 24 hour clear... http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...04&postcount=24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 What part of AZ you in? I can loan you some pieces to do some troubleshooting if need be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadaway0000 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I'm on a 24 hour cmos clear right now and will let you know. Hey thanks for the offer CDPMF! I'm in North Phx. Deer Valley area. I would really appreciate testing the board and CPU with your parts. Shoot me back with a number I'll PM you mine in about 30 minutes and maybe I will have to buy you a beer or somtin for the help. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I hope you guys can hookup and get this resolved if the 24 hour clear doesn't get it done. Have a beer for me while you're at it. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
