kalare Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 I'm not too good with computers so i'm a little lost on what i might do to correct this. I bought a brand new Lanparty UT at Fry's this weekend and stuck a 3400+ DTR cg in it. I have the normal DVD drive and a DVDR drive connected, and an older 80g HD. Whenever i press the power button, the fans spin for like 1 second and then everything shuts off again, same for the DDR Ram led (or whatever it's called). I'm thinking it might be the bios since i have a DTR, but i've seen others with success in getting these to work with the shipping bios. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone around UCLA area that could help? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaeLQ Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 try getting a non DTR CPU, stick it & check if everything is OK, & after than flash to the 14/9 BIOS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Jack Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Well it looks to me like you are not getting good contact with your heatsink, this happens when the die just instantly overheats. But before you go taking it apart try just one stick of ram in slot one & clear Cmos & see what happens. The DTRs seem to have alittle shorter die than the others & you have to check the foot print of the heatsink on the die to see if its making contact. I have seem PSUs going into OVP causing this also. Oh by the way you need to make a sig, read the sticky. It makes it harder to help without the info of your system. Hope this helps it happend to me also. SJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess1313 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 yes samuria has a point, are you using the stock HSF? it seem to be hard to get could contact with any open die a64 w/ a clip on HSF. it seem the best HS to use w/ DTR/mobiles it the SLK-948u If you were not getting good contact, i could make your comp shut off, because your CPU is overheating.

kalare Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I'm pretty sure I have good contact. I'm using water cooling and i've tried different positions. If it didn't have good contact, it would shut off that fast? I dont get anything, just a spin of the fans and the all shuts down, monitor doesn't display anything either.

Samurai Jack Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Yes, exactlly like that. You should be able to look at the contact patter and see tho. But the other stuff mentioned is worth a try to. I cant remember if you have flashed the bios but if not you could try hotflashing it to beta bios with mobil support if you dont have another CPU to get it up and running with.

GoHack Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I read somewhere that you have to try at lease three times before the system sees the DTR. I've heard this bios fixes the issue w/the DTR. http://oskarwu.myweb.hinet.net//LPUTNF3250...OS/N32LD914.zip You might double check before using.

kalare Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I've tried hotflashing but for some reason i can't get winflash to load on my other computer. I've tried using uniflash, but the second option (Write bios image including blocking...) is ghosted, i'm guessing because there is some sort of bios write protection. The board i've been trying to do this on is my old epox 8k5a2+. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 ...have to be done from Dos boot disk and Awdlfash 8.24F using A:>awdflash xxxxxx.bin /cc /cd /cp /py /sn /f /Qi RGone... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 try removing the entire system, put the motherboard outside the case (on some anti-static material of course), plug in only a psu, 1 stick of RAM, the cpu (try a non-DTR also), and a video card. Before turning power on, clear the CMOS jumper for 30 seconds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taigerr Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Is your power supply old?? Cos my board would not power up. I getting the power led and the mem led and the CPU fan would come on for like a split second then everything but the power led would die. I got a new power supply and it was ok. The manual says any power supply at 300 watts and above. Mine was 300 watts but not one of the mdern ones i.e did not have power factor correction. I might be wrong but try it.

kalare Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I've tried the awdflash as well, and it gives the message "unknown flash type !" I'll see if maybe i new PS will work, i need another one anyways. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
