New Build Freezes in Bios?

[tasr]

…and thats at 1.775 volts

Sweat. Go for a Toaster. I’d like to see it.

 

 

4 LEDs on = Power applied, checking CPU

3 LEDs on = CPU has been detected OK, checking RAM

2 LEDs on = RAM has been detected OK, checking VGA

1 LED on = VGA has been detected OK, entering BIOS

0 LEDs on = System has booted to the Operating System

 

Yep VGA

 

Try second PCI-E slot or use different video card to clear CMOS load defaults in BIOS.

ok its freezing on one led now, still cant get to bios and when i hold down the insert i never hear a beep?

It flashes between 4,3,4,3,4,3,2,1 then halts to be more specific

IS this mb a dud then?

[tasr]

Hummm

 

Different video or did you moved it?

 

Try different stick of memory in same slot.

 

Maybe longer clear is needed.

[honkee]

when it gets stuck at the one led, i can hear one long beep followed by two mini ones

[tasr]

I think it is still video related.

 

Use different video card to clear CMOS and then load defaults in BIOS. Even a PCI card if you can.

 

 

EDIT

POST Beep

 

There are two kinds of beep codes in the BIOS. One code indicates

that a video error has occured and the BIOS cannot initialize the

video screen to display any additional information. This beep code

consists of a single long beep followed by three short beeps. The

other code indicates that a DRAM error has occured. This beep

code consists of a single long beep.

Ok well now i have moved the card to the second slot, i see the dfi splash screen, but as soon as i hit delete, that sata screen comes up, bios is supposed to follow, but then the monitor powers itself off after that, but the all the fans in the pc are still running but i just dont get a display

Hi honkee, I am the one who recommended you come here from Anandtech. Glad to see you made the right decision! I don't have time to help you now though, unfortunately (I am at work)

[honkee]

lol wassup man, i have no idea what to do.

i have memtested a 1 gig kit of your patiot and that passed with flying colors, have yet to get around to the other kit

I get the splash screen 100% of the time now, but as soon as i hit delete to enter bios, all i am greeted with is a black screen with a blinking line in the upper left corner!

[honkee]

i also saw another error the other night that i forgot to mention.

It said Windows NT has 0k of low memory, please upgrade your system to run some .....yadda,yadda

My bios date says

04/06/2006

I know this can be frustrating, but the Expert isn’t your typical beast.

 

I would try using a different video card.

 

Along with long CMOS clear like this. Follow it exactly.

[honkee]

yup just tried with a x900xtx and a x800xl aiw, same ..

now all my pcs are dismantled, what a mess i got over here.

I think i just might sell this mb

[tasr]

Well did you try a different CPU?

 

Still hang on a bit. Wait for some more replies. I have got to go, back later.

 

 

Did you ever get it to fully boot?

 

RMA is still an option.
