PriceKey Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Hi, I was wondering if anyone has the same problem I have. I recently just upgraded the bios of the DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D to the latest official bios: NF4LD406.EXE 2006/04/06. It upgraded perfectly in windows, and it asked me to restart to complete the upgrade so I did. But now My computer doesn't even want to post and nothing shows up on my monitor (no signal) I was wondering how this would happen or is there anyway to reset it to the original bios. I mean I can't even see the screen so I don't know how that would be even possible. Would I have to go through DFI warranty? My specs: Opteron 165 1.8ghz 1gb (2x 512) G.skill 4400 DDR LE RAM ATI AIW X1800XL 2 X 320 GB WD HARD DRIVE CREATIVE X-FI XTREMEMUSIC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Have you cleared the cmos after flashing the bios? Run a proper cmos-clear, you´ll find a guide how to do this using the search function. It might be also a good to have a look at the bios-section... Gipse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthatwhichis Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Hmmm, sounds like a tough one... All you did was update windows and then no POST? Have you tried a good ole CMOS clear? I'd try that first, maybe do the FULL CMOS clear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 All you did was update windows and then no POST? I am sure that he used winflash (not recommended!) to update his bios :cool: Gipse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PriceKey Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks guys for the quick reply. I tried the proper-clear instruction.. but it still doesn't work. yes I did the update through winflash... it seemed to be fine. I have used it many times in the past and never had a problem with it. I thought it might be the bios... but then it may just be winflash like you guys said. Anyhow after turning on the power and checking the diagnotsic led.. it gets stuck on cpu detected. Is there any other thing I can try except calling dfi for RMA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Contact Tmod (member search) and ask for a new bios-chip. He will send you a new one (small charge), flashed with a bios of your choice Gipse edit: this should be your last option, try a 8h-24h cmos-clear first.

tasr Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 PriceKey Tmod's Bios Flash CD & Utility CDs Check out the BIOS Factory threads. Just read the threads and get familiar with the producers first. For your motherbard Boot to the CD then Select; [5] NF4 LanParty BIOS’s Chose the BIOS you want to install; [1] OCZ Tony’s nF4 704-2bta This is a good one for your motherboard. If you think the BIOS maybe corrupt then contact Tmod here for New Pre-Programmed BIOS Chips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
