4 debug lights


Recommended Posts

hi everyone, having troubles with my system here. Just got my San Diego 3700+ processor today. Trying to get everything to boot properly but I've run into 4 debug lights. It goes no further than that at all. I've tried placing my ram one at a time into each slot but still does not work. Nothing is overclocked as this is a completely new system. I have yet to test the ram to see if that is my source of problem because I have no other system here at the moment. Anyone have any idea what would make the system stay at the 4 debug light stage?

 

Mobo: DFI LanParty NF4 Ultra-D

Processor: San Diego 3700+

Ram: 1 GB 3200 OCZ VX Dual Channel

PSU: OCZ 450 modstream

Video Card: BFG 6600 GT

 

 

Everything at stock and nothing tinkled with. I have yet to connect anything else to this board other than those mentioned above. I know that the board *should* work, my guess is it is either my new processor, or my new ram because I had this system up about a month ago on a 3000+ winnie with Corsair VS.

 

btw, I am unable to get system to POST to give u the BIOS info. But It is the default BIOS that was given with the mobo and it isn't one of the non-SLI moddable boards.

I've taken my whole computer apart now, mobo sitting outside of case with nothing more than a processor (no fan attached), 1 stick of memory sitting in slot 1, and the power connectors. Still get the 4 debug lights and nothing further. No sound.. no anything.. when I had everything connected all the fans were up and running and the PCIE power was ok.. but still the debug lights.. anyone have ANY idea?

i've tried it on 2nd, third, and fourth and nothing. I am sorta new to this whole issue of cold booting, can someone explain to me exactly what this means?

also, I'm trying to get in touch with DFI but for some reason their page does not work at all. Cannot access ANY country pages.

this is just an idea, im not really good (i just built my first computer or in the process i should say). Anyways, would putting the original processor he had in there, loading BIOS, set load optimized defaults, take the processor out, install the new one, and try to boot up do anything? Maybe his settings for his old processor and setup in general are interferring with his settings for the new one. Is this even possible? Also, after you load optomized defaults, power down and clear CMOS. Worth a try i guess, but remember im really new to all this......this is just an idea that came to my mind.

Do you still have the 3000+ If you do (with the mobo outside the case) try the 3000+ Make sure u secure the hsf on the cpu. Make sure you attach all 4 power connection to the mobo. Add one stck of ram in dimm 2 and the video card. See if it will post to bios. If not try the other stick in dimm slot 2. Also if you have a pci video card, try that as well. It also would not hurt to check all your jumpers as well.

hi guys, no.. i dont have my 3000+ anymore since the reason for selling it was to get the 3700+ San Diego.

 

My mobo is all default jumpers except for the no-sound jumper, put that back to original and nothing.

 

 

btw, whats this about the 4 power connectors? I only see 3? am I seeing things again? lets do a head count, 1 connector near the NF4 chip, the 24pin ATX connector and the other 4 pin connector right beside the 24pin atx.. if there is another plz let me know because this was exactly how i had it setup when I had my 3000+ and everything was fine.... ?

ok, found that extra power connector. Wierd thing is that I never used it previously and it ran fine with my 3000+. I just plugged it in and still getting the same results. I'm pretty sure my 450w OCZ isn't the problem since I was using it with my 3000+ with all my parts connected to it. Now I am trying to use just the vid card, cpu, memory, and mobo and am getting nothing.

 

I believe my OCZ is peak 550w or something around those lines.
