greatscott68 Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 GREAT NEWS. i tried it again and now the motherboard's dead. it flashes a bunch of LEDs, lets out strange beeps and even my 7800GTX won't work either. i'm never buying another DFI again. Hold on, now. Things are rarely as bad as they seem. And when they are - amke sure you exhaust all options What do you mean by "strange little beeps?" Does it hang on a particular diagnostic light (corner of your Expert)? Did you check the orientation of your jumper, after your cmos clear (easily forgotten when lots of things are being moved around + being stressed out )? Also - you have to use a ps2 keyboard for the clear to have the best chance to work - a USB keyboard would be a shot in the dark, eliminating nothing, from a troubleshooting standpoint. Post back.

I got it to boot again (with the 7800GTX), but now it hangs on 'Detecting Array' after the RAID screen. Though RAID is disabled in the BIOS. Jumper's fine. Don't have a PS2 keyboard. Either way, I need a new board. What am I gonna do, run a 7800GTX forever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubZeroGTS Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 There's a brand new Expert on eBay. Since this is new, is it guaranteed to work with any PCI-express video card I put in it for ths first time? EDIT: nm, bought the A8N32-SLI Deluxe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
