NF4 Ultra-D, 4000+ SanDiego, OCZ PC3200 Plat Rev 2... MAJOR HELP Neede


Recommended Posts

Anyone and Everyone...

(--First of all... Computer Specs are in the Sig.--)

 

I have posted several times before with the same issues as most people I see on here... Rebooting/Freezing/BSODs at the Windows Login screen. At first I was using an Ultra X-Connect psu, but just put in my new (native 24pin) OCZ ModStream...

 

The problem is, I have tried SOOOO many settings and timings I don't know whats what anymore. I don't even know how to set this thing to stock settings. All of this makes no sense to me because I am a major newb with these Timings... Yes, I probably should have bought a different MoBo, but too late now... I just need some MAJOR Help getting my rig running and stable...

 

I don't mind if it's overclocked a little bit as long as it's stable and will give me many years of life!

 

I am currently using the 310 Bios Release, but am thinking I should flash to a newer beta release. Also, The ONLY setting that have allowed me to boot into Windows are these:

 

Genie BIOS Settings:

200

auto

16 16

auto

105

disable

1.500v

1.325v

above VID 113%

1.20v

1.60v

2.90v

 

DRAM Config:

200

(This option is not avail to me... Its always enabled)

4708

auto

auto

Level 5

Level 1

Auto

Auto

256

disable

16

07

disable

 

If I change ANYTHING from those, I get all the problems... I don't know what to do, please help me. And if you are going to refer me to another thread... I have read them ALL, even the ones with the different timings all laid out... Nothing is working correctly...

 

Why does this crap have to happen to me? Blah!

 

Thanx for the help

Ok...

 

The last time I flashed to the 310 i used the Automated .exe that made the bootable floppy for me... How do I do it with just the AWDFLASH.EXE and the BIN file ?

 

Also, how do I clear the CMOS... I know it has to do with the jumper on the MoBo, but how what are exactly the steps I should follow?

 

Do I Flash the BIOS then clear CMOS, or visa versa ?

 

Thanx for helping!

OK so you want to flash heh :) I will list a few easy steps.

 

1) Make a bootable floppy. I.E. put floppy in drive right click on drive and put a check on cearte an ms dos startup disk

 

2 put AWDFLASH.EXE and the BIN file on the floppy

 

3 reboot and go into bios and load optimized defaults. then f10 save and exit

 

4 boot to floppy

 

5 type ... awdflash biosname.bin /py/sn/wb/cd/cd/cp

 

6 awdflash will eventually tell you to remove disk and hit F1...system will reboot

 

7 go back into bios and load optimized defaults then set up as you wish

Ok... Flashed to the 510-3 BIOS... Loaded Optimized Defaults... And No Luck!

 

And I haven't the slightest clue what settings to use to even get this thing booting to windows and stable...

 

This is where I need help. :confused:

try setting that first level 5 one to level 8, i doubt this is an issue alone, but possibly in combo w/ another it may be

 

I thought that the ODD numbers for DRAM Level Strength were better suited for TCCD/TCC5... :confused:

 

Edit: Plus, All my settings are at Optimized Defualts now... So I am not sure what to do. At All... I am probably going to end up having to buy a brand new motherboard, because I have been trying to get this thing working for 3weeks now, and I have hardly gotten any help on it, and I am really getting sick of trying to figure this crap out...

 

I seriously need someone to walk me thru this stuff... Otherwise it's a loss cause.... You can tell me to change a setting or give me settings to try with different options (i.e. DRAM Drive Strength - Level 6, 5 or 7) its stuff like that that confuses me, especuially when its all the way down the settings.... I have NO clue how all these settings work together So I have NO clue what to do...

 

Its a lost cause trying to point me in the direction of threads explaining what all tjhese things mean, cause I have read most of them and it still makes no sense.... I am not a computer guru like some... and I really would not have bought this board if I knew it was this much of a hastle... but I am kinda stuck now...

 

So someone.... PLEASE HELP ME... Walk me thru this... I keep asking for help, and I see others getting a LOT of help in their threads, and in mine all I am getting is "check outthis thread or look at this..." I am tired of reading the same thing over and over... :-(

 

Please help.... :sad:
