ztech1 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 I don't know if your board was "tested" by DFI before they returned it "repaired" but they really should have just sent you a new board for all the hassle an RMA causes a customer. did a clean install of the OS Can't see how the OS can cause this kind of problem when it hasn't loaded yet!

Angry_Games Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 AIC if you want, send the board, cpu, RAM to me and let me test it. We'll pay for shipping. also, I might have asked you before, but have you tried without the CCFL light plugged in? I have a 2800+, 3100+ Sempron, 3400+ cpu to try if yours shows signs of weakness (one never knows), I have OCZ Powerstream 420, Skyhawk 570w, Fortron 530w, etc. Ballistix 4000, and about 5GB of other types of RAM. since the board was returned and exhibits the same problems, the only recommendation I can give you is send me the core parts of the machine and let me see if I can duplicate the problem. If so, I will have the board replaced and test the replacement, and ship back to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterfix Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I think RGone has a point, I had a similar problem where the system would hang during raid detection and sometimes restart. I only needed to back off the ldt a little bit and problem went away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice_In_Chains Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Well I am happy to report by replacing my motherboard my problem has been 100 percent solved. It boots perfectly every time no matter how long it has been off. I am so happy I could overclock. HEEHEHEHEHEHEH. Anyways I want to say thank you to Angry, and the all people at DFI who have been great in helping me with my problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightofnee Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 I have the same problem, Look at my sig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gravy Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Yea, I am having this problem too. In my case, it will even happen during a warm boot every now and then. Oddly enough, it seems to happen less frequently if I change my cpu multiplier from stock of 10x to 9x and up the fsb. Does not completely eliminate the dreaded 'detecting array' pause but does seem to make it happen less frequently. I dunno. Along the way, I have read the numerous threads on this topic and tried pretty much everything that was suggested. Also tried unplugging my cd drive and ran with three different hard drives - same result with all of them. Have also tried many combinations of memory, video cards and power supplies. I hate to RMA the board, but that appears to be my next step. Fortunately I am within the 30 day window at Newegg. Just really hoping that a new board will not have the same problem.

ChuXXX Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I hate this bug. The Cold Boot Bug. That's cool to see an rma will fix it. Nice! Guess I need to rma mine soon. Is there any way to get an advance rma? With a credit card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 DFI does not do advanced replacements. We've been burned too many times from customers, even those that gave us credit cards (and then had the bank/credit card do a chargeback, leaving us with zero money, and zero motherboards) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
