david77 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Hello there, I have built a system with the following components… ……………………………………………………………………… Mainboard – DFI LANPartyUT nF4 SLI-DR Expert Processor – AMD FX57 (2800+) Video – GeForce 8800GTS (from PNY) Audio – Creative Sound Blaster Xfi HDD – Western Digital Raptor 150Gb, SATA 10.000 r/min RAM – 2 x 1 GB (Crucial Ballistics PC 4000) Power supply – 700 W (from OCZ) OS – Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 ……………………………………………………………………… Now Houston-of course- I have a problem… In fact more than one… The main problems are: 1) The system works just fine, shuts down correctly… But it doesn’t start anymore… To start the system I have to shut down the power (unplug the power supply or put off the switch of the power supply) for something like 5-10 seconds… After that the system starts correctly and works perfectly… 2) The IDE cables from the main board to the DVD-s should be lit… They are not… 3) The system doesn’t start from the USB mouse, USB keyboard... I had put the jumpers on the main board and set the bios for that but nothing… ………………………………………………………………………. I already flashed the BIOS, still the same… It’s for sure a power problem… Power management stuff… I tried almost everything I could think of… Still no result yet… If I cancel the ACPI setting from BIOS, the system crashes as soon as it enters windows… And it continues to crash continuously just before entering Windows… If you could gave me a hint of what may be the problem in my case… I will appreciate your help very much… I studied the main board book and I tried everything….. The most interesting thing… The system works just fine once it starts… I installed “Rainbow Six Vegas” and I’m near the end of the game… Works beautifully… In fact I am surprised, everything is going fine… Except this little problem when I start the system after it was stopped… Sometimes the system starts normally! I press the power button and the system works fine! And after that, maybe again the same problem appears… Thank you in advance for your help in this matter, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
