DFI Expert Venus and Hipter Type-R Modular 580Watt

[Youman2]

Hello

I'm new here in this forum and I just learned a little bit speaking english in schooltime, but i hop you will understand my question

 

I had a DFI NF4 SLI-DR Expert which I tried to run with my system, which included a Hiper Type-R modular 580Watt Power Supply.

http://hipergroup.com/English/products/hpu-4k530.html

I still plugged all the powercables in and turned the system on, it worked fine.

then I went to the bios, choosed the DVD as first boot device and installed windows XP.

after the installation, it restarted and nothing functioned!!!

it just freezed or I don't know if it really freezed, but it just showed the "DFI Lanparty UT"-Logo and does not continued to boot.

I wasn't able to go into the bios and to change anything, everytime I restarted the system and everytime I cleared the CMOS and restarted it, it stopped at the logo.

So I went to a friend and tested the board with his components and it worked well fine without an installation.

 

Does my system does not functioned because of the power supply?

I read something, that some power supplys from seasonic are not compatible to the dfi expert because of his ATX 2.2-Standart and because there is not a -5V cable anymore.

but why does the system started and then stopped at the start logo, and why it stopped just still after the reinstallation of windowsXP?

before, I was able to go into the bios, after the reinstallation and the restart, i was not able to do this anymore!

 

And how does it looks, do you think that I will have the same problems with my dfi VENUS???

Hi!! and welcome to the street,

 

my baord did that, and my ram wasnt stable, did you run memtest on your ram??

 

and BTW you should make a forum SIGNATURE

Hi

thank you for your answer

I was not able to run a mem-test, because I could not enter into the bios!

i tried to reset the cmos for one day, 24 h and it just made nothing.

but I forgot to sag (i think) with the pc of my friend it worked fine. and he has an older psu as mine.

Welcome to DFI-Street

 

Do me and all the other people that will be helping you out a big favor. Put together a complete signature per the rules. Look at the examples.

 

Thank you.

hi

so, i wrote a signature and i hope it is shown

i actualised this site a few times, but it does not show my signatur at all!!!

 

Edit: now for this post, there is a signature shown

I use the Hiper PSU as well and so far it's performed well for me. However I would be inclined to upgrade if I use high end video cards such as dual 7900GTs and up. I see you have a single 7800GT so you should be ok.

Follow this guide for setup NF4 LanParty - initial build w/pictures. It is not for the Expert but it works for a general guide.

 

 

Are all the power connectors plugged into the motherboard.

24-pin main power connector

8-pin 12v secondary connector or EPS

4-pin 5v/12v floppy connection or FDD-type

 

Check your Expert Motherboards manual page 68-71

Another good guide is; Ed J’s Build Guide

 

 

Look at this; DFI Recommended Power Supplies (UPDATED June 14th, 2006!).

If you haven't already, try booting up with one ram stick in the furthest (closest to edge of the board) slot.

You are close to "running out of PSU". :eek:

 

We NEED a sig with COMPLETE system specs!

[Youman2]

yes, but.........i don't know all the specs that my components have, their timings, theit speed etc!!!

I will work on it and update it soon.
