Supercharged Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 hi guys just took out my com to reinstall the tim for my waterblock and now the stupid com is giving me troubles again. i checked all the connectors are plugged in properly, the 4 plugs to the board are in nicely. gfx card, rams are inserted correctly. but problem is that it keeps beeping non stop. the leds are stuck at 3 lighted up which means cpu detected but drams not detected. i've tried everything, rebooting, clearing cmos, unplugging and reinserting the rams but there's no improvements at all// sometimes 4leds remain lighted up and but there's no beeping sounds. pls help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cull Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Well, first I would try this http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...04&postcount=24 I usually gives me pretty good results with no boots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cull Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 As well, make sure none of your TIM got anywhere on your board. If it did use pick up some acetone and isopropyl alcohol to try and get it off, I had this issue when I accidentally dripped some tim when I was putting on a new chipset heatsink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 oh thanks. for the tim, i applied very little. so little, u can see the cpu surface at the outer perimeter of the cpu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDude05 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 What slots is your RAM in? will it boot with one of them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 i;ve got another silly question to ask. my logitech m.b doesnt have an insert key. it has only a huge del key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelangel Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 it does have an insert key it's just somewhere else then it usualy is. it it under the zero on the number pad. if you switch off num lock you can still use it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganders75 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Do the CMOS clear as suggested above. Should sort you out. Try the short clear, and the 8hrs. If no joy, do the full 24hrs clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 clearing cmos dfi style didnt work. tried with ram791, stuck at 2leds for all slots. testing ram789, at first slot, 4leds stuck remaining 3slots stuck at 2 leds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Use a PS2 keyboard untill you resolve this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganders75 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Did you clear for the full 24hrs? trust me, it does matter. You should be trying to boot with one stick in the furthest orange slot from the CPU after you have cleared... Other slots will not work with one stick...

watsonte Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Okay SuperCharged...the RAM is in the Orange Slots correct?...This question was never answered clearly... Also the TIM doesnt need to be paper thin, a dot about the size of a grain of rice is more then enough and tightening the waterblock down should do all of the spreading for you... And of course...CMOS Clear..like the posts above me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
