Angry_Games Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 pull battery, shut power completely off at back of psu, and clear CMOS jumper for a while (1hour or more, preferrably overnight) if no post still, email me and tell me where you live and I'll help you get your BIOS chip reflashed (email link in my sig) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage2050 Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 all i had to do when mine stopped POSTing was move the cmos jumper, and voila. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Now thats a quick reply Angry, I surely hope that I dont have to ship my chip out, but even more disturbingly is that somehow my bios could corrupt like that. If for some reason my machine decides to POST whos to say that this kind of behavior wont happen again... is this a known issue with the shipping BIOS?

Angry_Games Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 you are overclocking it. Overclocking is a funny thing (usually not the kind of funny that makes you laugh either) you never know what is going to happen when overclocking. if it did it at default speeds, I would be concerned. As long as you are overclocking...anything can happen (i've had plenty of wierd things happen on overclocks myself including corrupt bioses) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem but mine was running for 1 hour. I happened to have a spare DFI sli dr board (always buy 2) and tried to load windows on a raid set through the nforce raid controller and got blue screened and the exact same thing happened again. Now I've got 2 DFI SLi DR boards that do nothing. Never even had a chance to overclock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seems like they might be a design LEMON.

Currently only have one graphics card installed and only one stick of memory in orange slot (number 2). Any advice, any idea? Regards ,shortie Power LED flashing! Sounds like the unit is standby mode. Does anything happen when you momentarily push the power button? Try pressing and holding the power button until the PC shuts down. Then push the power button again to restart. If that fails clear CMOS and try again with another stick of RAM. Three LEDs on is an indication that the RAM is not being detected.
