vladv Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Recently I've got this legendary socket 939 motherboard DFI LP UT SLI-DR Expert chipset nForce4 SLI almost brand new only one SATA port is somewhat messed up missing those plastic parts from both sides , bought this mobo really cheap ~ 55 $ from well known Romanian e-bay-like site okazii.ro , and I put it on my FX-60 dual core ( yeah,THAT one! ) and some KINGSTON value memory and tried to boot my rig.Here is my problem now:this board is working those 4 red diagnostic LEDS start 4,3,2 next only one left so no "4 LEDs of death" syndrome for me and the onboard speaker beeps ONCE which I know is a good thing but I cannot enter BIOS to setup as I need Del key on my PS2 keyboard is NOT working as it should I press the key and the result is 0 nada nothing , first I see the boot logo from DFI after that I see CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded , press F1 to continue or Del to enter setup and when I press F1 sometimes I see this message Verifying Pool Data and Backup CMOS OK! and other times I see Sil3114 SATA RAID Press Ctrl-S or F4 to enter RAID utility.One more thing to add is that I can actually use boot menu selection using Esc key to select HDD,CD-ROM or some other option like flash memory stick and this board actually can boot using CD/DVD I already tried UBCD rescue CD and some Linux live distros to see if it's not a problem with my FX-60 processor and I'm happy that it is working well is all good no problem here actually I've seen it's name and working frequency ~ 2616 Mhz at POST, please help me to solve this problem with my mobo.

Savan Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Have you tried using a different keyboard to rule out the possibility that the del key is broken? The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is if there is a different layout of keys between a US spec keyboard and a Romanian spec keyboard. I doubt it, but if there is a difference that may explain it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 That set of parts should work pretty well for you, I still sometimes use a x2 3800 and 4gb of memory.. Try booting with 1 stick of memory only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Game Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 weird, mine ran, and still does, with little problems. It was a little rough at first with my hynix ram, but once I manually entered the settings, it overclocked and has been running for years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I never really has issues with my socket 939 boards unless I did something stupid. You did have to take a trip over to DFI Street when it was up and look for help if you had issues but thankfully I was one of the ones who was lucky or well prepared.

Bubbaxm2 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I am still convinced that the reason OCZ stopped making memory is because DFI stopped making consumer boards lol. It was the only ram I could ever get to work consistently in DFI boards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
