Heavy problems with the Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D plz help!!!

[Phil05]

Hi guys,

i have big problems with my new DFI Board. Two months ago i've bought me a new system wich contains the things you can see in my signature. The system won't run without crashs (Bluescreens wich say that i should disable options like bios shadowing if this happens often).

I'm already searching the whole time for the Problem so I've done already these things:

 

Changed the Graphicscard, changed the Hdd (I've testet 2x IDE IBM Deskstars, 1x SATA Seagate Barracuda and finally a SATA Samsung Spinpoint) and changed the Ram. In the first time I've had running two 512 MDT Singlesided (PC3200) sticks but i got errors after 30minutes in Memtest with this Ram so I bought the G.Skill of my signature (Memtest hasn't found no errors after 22hours) as that doesn't help I've put in a 512MB 333MHZ Infenion stick but that dosen't also help. I've also change the power supply (before I've had a 400W Coba).

 

I've updated the bios to the last version and i'm runnig it with the optimized defaults. The only things i've changed:

 

Cpu Throttling turned off

PCI Pay load to 256MB

2Sec Drive delay

Bank Interleaving off

CPU Special Control: Above VID = 104% (Otherwise the Cpu Voltage is at 1.36 but i haven't noticed that anything changed or run better....)

and disabled all onboard components which I don't need.

 

The other thing is that the system crashs unsteady, sometimes after 3-5Days sometimes every 5minutes. In the first time it even runs a little bit more than two weeks (with the G.Skill). But if it crashs one time it crashs in shorter intervals (half an hour to every 5-6min.). The only thing which helps in such cases is to power down the system for a few hours or to change the ram, then it will run again for sometime. Oh and a other point is that it doesn't matter if play games, run benchmarks or if the pc is simply in windows it crashes most of the time in windows when i'am doing nothing or download stuff.

 

Here are my temps and voltages, they are all constant :

 

Voltages (Bios):

Cpu: 1.38V

LDT: 1.20V

Chipset: 1.51V

Ram: 2.63

ATX +3.3: 3.32V

ATX +5.0: 4.99V

ATX +12V: 12.09V

ATX +5VSb: 5.02V

Battery: 3.09V

 

Voltages (Smartguardian):

Cpu: 1.39- 1.4V

LDT: 1.16V

Chipset: 1.47V

Ram: 2.59V

ATX +3.3: 3.28V

ATX +5.0: 5.02V

ATX +12V: 11.9V

Battery: 3.05V

 

I've already raised the ram voltage to 2.7V but it doesen't matter.

 

Temps:

Cpu: 22-25°C Idle

PWMIC: 29-32°C idle

Chipset: 39°C idle

--------------------

when i'am running 2hours:

Cpu: max 36°C

Chipset: max 44°C

 

Ok, thats all.

 

Plz help me! Its very frustrating! ah and plz excuse my bad english ,i'am from germany.

^ PLZ Help me.

Did you upgrade the BIOS? I updated to the 3/10 version and it solved my problems. I also set my RAM voltage to 2.8V, that seemed to give me more stability.

Are you using the Nvidia firewall? I had crashes until I disabled it on my machine

[Roughnecks007]

OK lets start with the basics, if this is too simple my appologies as I do not know your skill level.

 

Reset the CMOS (remove power cable, press power putton several times, switch jumper and leave for 1 minute, reset jumper, power on) and load optomized defaults. Then disconnect everything you don't need, so in the end you should have PSU connected with all four connectors (20pin atx + 4pin aux or 24pin atx w/ molex and floppy connectors also), CPU (obviously) and RAM in the orange slots, HDD for windows and no optical drives (not sure if there cound ever be an issue with those so might as well rule them out as a possible source of instability). The most inportant thing is not to have any add-on card installed as I have had many problems with cards in the past. See if that helps.

 

Cheers,

maybe i'm paranoid, but i don't install windows until i'm MemTest error free for fear of some file corruption due to memory errors. i know it's a PITA, but if you haven't reinstalled since getting your stable memory, it may be worth your while.

[Phil05]

Thanks for the fast answers... I've the newest Bios and already done a cmos reset but with a older Bios version and with the old ram. I've disabled the firewall, but the system also crashes as i haven't it disabled. The ram is in the Orange slots (but i've testet all slots already). Tomorrow (now its too late and I must sleep) I will remove the Audigy 2ZS and make again a CMOS reset, but these both things haven't helped as I had have the MDT Ram and the old Bios.

Edit: I've reinstalled Windows and formatted the hdd several times.

what are the specs on that power supply? amps on each of the main rails? and you've got it plugged into all 4 places on the mobo?

4 places? 1. 20/24pin 2. 4pin aux - what would be 3rd and 4th place?

[cpuz]

4 places? 1. 20/24pin 2. 4pin aux - what would be 3rd and 4th place?

the 4 pin molex type connector (hdd type) and the fdd (floppy type) connectors.

there is a 4-pin Molex connector (looks like a connector on back of PATA HDD), and a 4-pin Floppy drive connector.

 

IIRC, the floppy drive connector is close to the x4 PCI-e, and the molex is towards the right edge more near the end of the x16 PCI-e???

 

there some posts with pictures. do a search, but definitely these should be hooked up!

[Phil05]

Ohh i've forgotten to plug in the floppy connector! Thanks for your help so far... I've done it now and hope that solves the problem!
