ringo598 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Hey, I looked at the motherboard, and it said the revision was B1, so I went and downloaded the update on the dfi. site, it was the diamond one that automatically sets everything up. I followed the instructions, and everything went fine. I loaded back up fine and went into the bios and used the "load optomized defaults". Unfortunetely, one of my friends kids was in the room and I left, he was fooling around and I think he changed my cpu speed to 250mhz x 14. So that would set the prescott from 3.0ghz to 3.5ghz, which doesn't seem all that bad as I have a new sp-94 heatsink and fan. However, now I have no signal coming to my monitor at all, the computer has power(all the lights are on) but thats it, no boot, no colours, nothing. What has happened and how do I fix it? Thanks!

ringo598 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Okay, I set the jumper to reset my info, however still nothing, I push the power button and nothing turns on. There is a red LED light that is on underneath one of my PCI slots, and thats it. This sucks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoMbArD Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 leave the jumper on clear cmos overnight, and take the battery out, then set it back the next day and put the batery back in and give it another go, also reseat your proc, and your ram, and your vid card. if that still doesn't go, then unplug your IDE devices and floppy and pull all the cards out cept the video.

ringo598 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 okay, I left the battery out for about 10 minutes, and the computer boots now, but it gets to one point and says "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" now what? as a sidenote, when the jumper is set to clear CMOS, I can get everything to boot up at least. when I set the jumper to normal, everything dies and I get nothing.

Angry_Games Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" make sure your boot drive is correct Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringo598 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 my boot drive should be my one drive, the SATA, okay, I will make sure its set to that one. The drivers should be unaffected by this shouldn't they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringo598 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 someone just told me that the computer shouldn't even be running when the jumper is in the 2 3 possition, but unless its in these two pins, I can't even get the computer to turn on. Whats with that? lol, I am never even going near the bios ever again, not for anything ever...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringo598 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 okay, right now I have it at the bios blue screen, with the jumpers set to reset. Where do I go from here? I can't find the section to enable my SATA, I found it last time, but its gone now, and my date on the bios was all wrong...anyhow, what do I do now? okay, I finally found the SATA thing, and it was disabled, so I enabled it again, and reset the computer, and it booted fine, and I am writing this while on the computer, however...what happens when I shut if off? The jumper is in the reset spots(2-3) do I leave it there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoMbArD Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 no, you want the jumper on 1-2, I am amazed that you got it into windows in the 2-3 position, any board I have ever owned has never booted in the clr position, and the few boards that I have seen that DO boot in the clr position, only go to a BIOS settings screen that lets you reset the BIOS. Hope it keeps working for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringo598 Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 l0l, then I don't know whats going on, yes, its clearly in the 2-3 position, oh well. If I turn the computer off and put the jumper on the 1-2 position, the computer won't even turn off, maybe one of the moderators can figure it out.
