Problems with CFX3200-DR? Post here (merged)

[Angry_Games]

AG: I've never said you guys are idiots. Never crossed my mind either. Im learning a lot here about this mobo and OC in general. But I wanted to be sure that I'm working in the right direction.

 

@ the moment i'm not going anywhere though... seems one of my memsticks is corrupted.

 

memtest gave me 1671168 errors in 20 minutes.

lol i think you misunderstood my meaning in my posting...I meant that none of US here in the thread/forum that are having these issues are idiots (i mean, I am, and MAYBE a couple others, but probably only just me, so most of you having these issues aren't idiots)

I'll give this new bios a shot tomorrow with my 4000EB's (that I cannot get to overlcock even a single mhz on the RDX200 for some reason lol...why do these ATI boards hate me???)

[learners permit]

AG I got nowhere until I realized this boards drive strength abilities completely dwarf the needs of the ram and cpu. Maybe under phase they might become necessary but not with my current hardware. Just my observation so far.

WTG geeds very clever idea.

geeds FTW! Booted up this morning after clearing cmos (stuffing around with memory timings, early in the morning BAD IDEA) and have been running for 3 1/2 hours with zero errors!

so far i managed to run 250x10 1:1 on my system without any problem...

 

the only problem i've now :

 

it seems like my mobo cant detect my gfx.. adapter 0 not found.. i try to flash using flashrom at adapter 1 but also not found..

Well I have a fresh install of XP as of last night. No ULI software loaded onto my system. I still get the erros, so it does not work for everybody..

Raju,

 

Are we talking about the same m5288 errors that appear at regular intervals?

I have seen other errors mentioned in this topic that may indeed have a another cause. If thet are regular, check your system processes. Such regular problems can only be caused by software running on your system.

There are two things you can do:

 

1) remove the entry for the automatic run from the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun

 

find the name/data where its says "C:Program.....ULIRAID.EXE'

 

Right click and do a delete.

 

 

2) Just kill the process after you login:

 

go to task manager -> processes, select the uliraid.exe and kill the process.

This you would have to do every time you login....

 

 

For the USB you can indeed do a 'uninstall' from 'Remove Programs'

BTW, just over 4 hours now, and no errors....

 

Hi there!

 

The m5288 error don't happen to my system that regurarly, but it still does happen so beats me..

Over 6 hours, no errors

 

There is a new Beta bios that has updates for the ULi controller, if you disable the software and still have problems you might want to give it a try (note the usual risks with beta bioses on the DFI website): http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/down..._FLAG=B&SITE=US has been tested by users noted on the CFX-3200-DR thread.

OK fresh install of xp, updated bios to beta, still getting the errors though,

 

I flashed bios 3 times from dos. One thing I have noted is that my cmos reloaded banks never seem to clear sometimes they will, but mostly the profiles remain (whether I flsh from XP or dos), even when I have used the kill cmos util.

 

here's a screenshot anyway

raju did you disable the uli utility after loading xp?

 

Or did you even load it, I am not sure if you can remove the Uli drivers themselves and still use the raid, if windows has a driver of its own for the setup.
